happens on racial issues too, though. In many upper class white communities, race becomes an 'invisible disability' like class...

cause a lot of these white folks really did believe that racism was solved somewhere between MLK and Bill Cosby, esp in Bush 2 years.

Oh my yes. There's also what I call "clutch bag" racism and "Yankee racism." Best example is Redlining.

Oh, the ones I hate aren't the "But I have a black friend and they're okay with me saying it!" types...

see I like these ones better bc we at least have enough leverage with them that they'll act a little better if we put pressure on them.

if "I'm good to black folks" is part of your "why I'm an awesome person" story, you're more likely to change your behavior when blk ppl ask.

like I get why that type is more gross, but also when I tell them to stop saying the n-word, they'll actually do it, at least around blk ppl

the performatively woke types are gross, but also they give minorities & queer ppl a tiny bit of hard-earned power, imo.
