      6/ Let me back away from race tho, I’m sure your tweet was for a largely white audience who wants to be assured that things are okay and they can’t really deal with race. So let’s talk about what they can deal with?

      Al-- if you see everything as being about race and how "white" people can't deal with it -- which is itself racist -- we probably can't have a real dialog. I don't tend to engage with people who make racial comments.

      That comment wasn't racist. Your first tweet implies that racism doesn't exist because people outside of cities are getting along (allegedly), how can you judge that as a white woman so not the target of racists?

      My tweet said nothing of the sort. You are free to infer what you like but it doesn't make it true. (How can you judge me based on my race? Isn't that what you object to? I sure do.)

      I'm white too, that's why I know why we are not being marginalized for being white and implying that racism is an artificial reality means you're not listening to POC and ignoring their experiences.

      Whatever your color, people shouldn't be judged as a race. That's inappropriate, in my opinion.

      I simply told you, you aren't the target of racists so can't judge whether racism is real or not. Also, when people talk about White America they mean the oppressive system that was build to cater to white people and oppress those who aren't, it doesn't judge you as an individual

      1. You don't know me. 2. You're apparently judging me based solely on my race.

      No, I'm telling you that white people don't face racism, so we shouldn't tell those who experience it that it's not real.

      I don't think it's a good idea to make sweeping generalizations about people because of their race or skin color.

          I only told you that *we* shouldn't tell those who face racism whether we think it's real or not. To you that's a generalization, to me it's common sense since I can't really judge something I don't experience. I'll leave you with this, maybe it'll help.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M&t=3s …

          I'm not part of your "we" unless you are judging me based on my skin color, which I frown upon. But it seems to be how you choose to live. So be it!

          She wasn’t judging you for your race. She was lumping you in w/the dominant culture & explaining that the dominant culture can’t cry racism when racism is about power & who holds it. So if you’re white which you are you cannot be discriminated against. Because you are dominant.
