I'm so fucking tired

That's some bullshit. Sorry you had to deal with that.
So first off, white guy here so I will kindly leave if this isn’t my place to speak
But onto my point, anyone who claims the key factor of racism is intent can fuck right off like the idiots they are. I’m sorry you went thru that OP
It's like. Most people know on some level that racism is bad. And they don't want to be bad, so they don't want to consider that they could be racist, cause in their eyes that would make them bad people. Like there's some binary between the evil racist people and the good, not racist, normal people. But the thing is, racism is built into our entire society, our culture, everything. Everyone will learn some racist beliefs just living in this world. You have to confront that. But you can't do that if you're to obsessed with this "but I'm not a bad person" shit
accepting the social institution of race is what makes one racist. we live in a racist society. our grandchildren will look back on us in shame for stubbornly clinging to our chains
No it doesn't, not at all. Racism is built into the very foundations of society, it's not an individual problem, it's a societal one often intentionally ignored by individuals for whom it benefits.
