      So @drlbram "I'm not racist" = "I am racist". "I'm very much not racist" = "I'm very racist".. "I am a racist" = I am a racist". What would falsify your theory that both denial & admission of racism = racism? What would it take to change your mind about your theory?https://twitter.com/DrIbram/status/1370008868877705222 …

      They usually say, "I'm not racist" or "No, you're the racist" or "I am the least racist person." This denial speak is new: "very much not racist." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/prince-william-response-racism-britain/2021/03/11/c5de88ce-825d-11eb-be22-32d331d87530_story.html …

      Oh, please. This is a not inappropriate response to a specific denial. And he’s right. Most racists deny that they’re racist, just as most antivaxxers deny they’re antivax. This is so obvious that jokes about it were old when I was a kid. 🙄

      Had the same thought. "I'm just asking the questions..." are the most virulent denialists, because they've learned, by practice, to cover their intentions up.

      I love how Shermer’s defenders think that asking me if I’m racist is some sort of massive “gotcha.” It doesn’t bother me to admit that I have racist tendencies. Pretty much every white guy my age does. The question is: What am I doing about it? I’m trying to learn and be better.

          Why is admitting that so difficult for my fellow whites people? The issue isn’t having that flaw. The issue is whether you’re trying to learn and work at minimizing and, as much as humanly possible, eliminating the racism you have in you.

          If "pretty much every White guy your age" has racist tendencies, then some do not. How are they supposed to communicate that fact?

          The racism is coming FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!! Wait until Herr Doktor discovers that everyone has biases of some kind and magnitude. Whether one chooses to act on these biases is the real issue. But Intent and actions over specious innuendo mucks up the narrative being pushed.
