4/Your tweet mentions "get out the biggest cities." I think you are alluding to race, not sure, if so, I’d say race is an issue all over the country, but let’s go with you idea that outside big cities ppl get along. Here’s a story you might want to read:https://reut.rs/2BWsFlU

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?

Replying to @Al_Letson @reveal
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.

It’s not racist to say white people are not great at talking about racism. Doubt you care tho since you’re wielding silencing techniques on this gentleman bc you feel happier living in a world where racism only exists in PoC folks’ imaginations but go off I guess

When you make such sweeping generalities that include "white people..." or any race/group-- well, uh.

This doesn’t hold water. Saying “I’m statistically more likely to be sexually assaulted by a man” doesn’t make me a misandrist. Here’s a super brief article on the differences between racism & prejudice, which is what I suspect you’re conflating:https://www.elitedaily.com/life/racism-prejudice-understanding/1363914 …

Maybe you are ok with making sweeping generalities about people based on race. I'm not. But it's a free country so you are entitled if you wish.

I’m ok w you glossing over my entire argument. What’s sad is you think you not generalizing aids the world but when PoC say “let’s address racism” you stick your fingers in your ears &go “la la la I’m not LISTENING!” This only hurts folks but keep Miss Millie-ing on if you like

Nonetheless you have been fairly civil and that's appreciated!
