let me say something here. He's supposed to be an ally but this is his take and please read the comments as he responds to those challenging him. But he's supposed to be the expert.

and I'm going to add something here. BP are constantly told that they can't cover stories about racism because they are too close to it.

I think we need to start saying WM can't cover White supremacists because they are too close to defending WM because they are one.

the level of defensiveness of WP being called racists should mean they shouldn't be seen as experts on it cause they will defend their own til the cows come home.

y'all keep demanding that these men say they are White supremacists in order for it to be a fact instead of their actions. the same way you say you don't know what's in a person's heart. IDGAF what's in their heart if their actions indicate they are will harm me and mine.

we know pedophiles don't admit they are one even when they are arrested. we are literally watching a gov't official denying it as we speak. a man literally says "grab them by the pu$$y" and y'all will still defend him. Why on earth will any of these men admit to being WS?

This whole mantra of the benefit of the doubt until you can't anymore is White American defense tactics. A perspective you do not afford to others on this land at all. We have to prove our innocence first before we are believed.

Yet, even w/ evidence, y'all will still defend WM

Then when you have no choice but to finally believe they are villains then you allow them to go on redemption tours. as I will repeat over and over.
