6 Handy Tips For White People To Talk About Racism

No it's not.

Keith Fife Yes it is.

Matt McDonald No its, not, you clearly don't know what racism is, either that or you're race baiting. Probably both.

Your flag is hung incorrectly Alex. Go back to your Ivy League ivory tower and leave REAL Americans like us the hell alone.

Mike Goldbrook I never said you had to agree with me. Hell I never even said I don't support justice for Eric Garner (I do). I just resent being told that somehow because of my skin color I'm not allowed to talk.

Also, I'm curious, what the hell is a "real" American? It almost seems like you, as well as this author, are attempting to construct an alternative and exclusionary America where only certain people are deemed worthy enough to have opinions and to be engaged in political or social debates.

Seems a bit fascistic, don't you think?

MLK didn't say "I have a dream that white people shut up about things they don't understand" he said "I have a dream that people are judged by the content of their character not their skin color"

This author (and other SJWs like him- of whom there are many) are arguing exactly the opposite. The ONLY thing that determines your worth, in his eyes, seems to be skin color.

You haven't outgrown your Libertarian phase yet, have you?

From what I have heard, that's just prejudice (still awful) and racism is constitutional. Because being white is an advantage in most circumstances aside from bullying if you live somewhere where you're a minority. Still, in general it is easier to find work, people don't assume you're a criminal and things like that if you are white. We can be made fun of for being white but it doesn't affect us in the same way out in the world.

Lexi Vienneau it's racist to decide how it affects me based on the color of my skin.

Lexi Vienneau So, regardless of what it did to me emotionally, it's ok?? I have mental health issues because of my childhood, which means I can't get a job as easily.... Racism exists in all races...

Smells like trolling. Then again I'm a superior brown male.

saying that I shouldn't talk about racism because of the color of my skin...let that sink in for a minute...i think i smell troll...but i'm a white guy, what do i know...

Mark Mahady exactly. You don't know anything because you are clearly not part of the brown master race. [wink wonk I make bad jokes]

I agree they ussed to call me the "Rape Devil" when I lived in Montana. Just because I lived in a largely feminist community and may or may not have raped people, but only whites.

See! only white males are racist and rape!

When was the last time you saw a sign that says "no dogs, no whites, no irish"?

Just because it doesn't happen often, doesn't mean that it doesn't happen at all.

Matt E. Britches Right, but the point I was trying to make was that white societal privilege exists also, whilst black privilege does not.
