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.

"Jim Crow was the name of the racial caste system which operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and border states, between 1877 and the mid-1960s. Jim Crow was more than a series of rigid anti-black laws. It was a way of life."

"Under Jim Crow, African Americans were relegated to the status of second class citizens. Jim Crow represented the legitimization of anti-black racism."

"Many Christian ministers and theologians taught that whites were the Chosen people, blacks were cursed to be servants, and God supported racial segregation."

I want to explain this tweet to you. This is a racist tweet. We don't need to see a thread to get this.
Defend your claim.
Intellectual honesty.
If he did - denial
debating the n-word
When I tell you that you don't show up nicely why should any of us?!! Exhibit A.

As a BW I've never debated the n-word with a WP. The audacity that you think we can debate this and you aren't a racist is actually wild to me. Wanting to debate this puts YOU squarely in that category. NOTHING compares to that word. "context" wut?!!

Honestly, I really don't need to go any further past that but I'll lay out a few others.

Intellectual honestly.

That I have to prove something to you about my intellect cause otherwise, the racist trope that I'm just angry and dumb is the actual statement you are making.

I want to talk about this real quick. When I say there was not a peaceful transfer of power this is included. a tradition just ignored because of petty racism.

Obamas get White House portraits after Trump snub denied them the tradition buff.ly/3y5gIon

people will reduce this down to it's just a problematic person. It's not. That person held the highest office on this land. The way so many of you try to separate the system from the people but people are running it. The system doesn't work without them. stop doing this.

every single time #AgentOrange45 brings up Obama it's consistently a racist trope that most of you shrug at but it's an accepted American trope. So that means every BP you encounter that trope is in your head. That means EVERY BP has to encounter multiple WP doing this to them.

And the reverse of that is that women are actually fine being single tho!! Cause they can do bad by themselves. Then you try shame them on body counts!!

The whole thing calling men simps for sympathizing with women and working in partnership. It's men trying to police other men to keep the pool limited in expectations. It's all YOU!! But keep pulling up like you are tho so we know.

Y'all are trying to get women to level down to your standards and I find that completely odd. In every single relationship, I was in I was leveling up not going backward. I don't know why anyone would want to do that. And I was never alone unless I chose it.

I didn't see this before. I apologize. here is a database that anyone can use to see where some continue to exist justice.tougaloo.edu/sundown-towns/…

From the same basic mapping but clearer with the legends. justice.tougaloo.edu/map/

I'm just going to show you a few comments of butthurt WP that their precious town is on the list and we are just making all of it up to be divisive. No benefit of the doubt granted here is there. It's just simply NOT possible. #ThisIsAmerica #VilliansInThisAmericanHorrorStory
