“It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.” —Mahatma Gandhi

White people, this is for you. And only you.

For a long while, during discourses about racism, race relations, and…

Racism disgusts me. It really does. Everyone is a human being. We are all connected as one, but so many people fail to see that. It kills me to see the hatred in this post. It kills me because I am white and I am by no means racist. And I’m sure there are plenty of people who are not white that might think I am automatically racist because I am white. This is just so awful. It makes me sad. Why can’t everyone just shut up and get along? Love each other. Love each other because we are all in this together. We are all here together. That is a beautiful thing. And learn that not everyone in a particular race acts like the worst people of their race. Live in peace.

So, laughingalong…

If you’re so fucking not racist, how come when people are talking and grieving about a white man shooting a black teenager in cold blood and having the cops cover up for him the thing that has you just jumping out of your chair unable to keep your fingers off the keyboard to lecture somebody is that someone may have said a mean thing that you haven’t figured out isn’t about you?  Not that a white man shot a black kid in cold blood and the cops are covering for him, but that someone hurt your feelings?

Answer:  You’re not so fucking not racist after all.  Only a racist puts their feelings on par with a white man shot a black kid in cold blood and the cops are covering for him.

Take your fingers off the keyboard, step away from the computer, sit down, shut up, think this shit through, and then you have a shot at being less racist tomorrow than you are today.
