But of course, you're not racist! Of course not. Because you know when a person devotes their entire career writing article after article saying that there are no good white people or that systemic racism exists and can never be gotten written of and that no white person can be trusted because they think racist thoughts even if they never say them out loud or because they are all descended from slave owners or Klansmen or live in a red state or a blue state or that no matter how much change comes to our society it will always be too little, too late and can never make up for 400 years of oppression or that even if total equality were given under the law it wouldn't count because they don't really mean it, that's just TELLING LIKE IT IS.

Really, why should we bother to reach out and try to heal the racial divide when we're all secret MAGA's all of us? I mean, just because we've never said or done anything prejudiced doesn't mean we don't secretly think it when we're out of sight. I mean, sure some white people might be nice in small doses but would you let your sister marry one? Of course not!

Obviously if we read your article, white people should only have white friends and black people should only have black friends. I mean, its brain chemistry. Said so right here. White people will never think as positively to blacks as whites. You can never argue with science.

I now remove the sarcasm and speak honestly

You're right about the openly racist phrases of some people. But I prefer them compared to the dog whistles you are using to imply here. I have no doubt you are sincere in your belief of these realities. But your prejudice is deeply instilled that you - and so many of your followers - don't even see it themselves. You may assume that your phrases are being used to speak truth to power. In truth, all you are doing is using the same methods and terminology that white people have used the same history and science to justify their prejudice. Articles like this are, in their own way, as divisive as the rhetoric that I hear from so many bigoted right wing articles, because on completely different sides of this issue, they argue for one side to maintain eternal distrust of the other. Your final phrase 'some white people mask their intent' argues the rest are open about it. Then what's the point of even living in the same country, much less the same neighborhood together if this distrust can never truly be bridged?

I have little doubt you will not respond to this comment at all, and if you do it will no doubt be to call me some kind of name. That is the way of so many on this blog who want to live in their own bubble and will not dare even wish to tolerate a single dissenting thought. Still, I try to hold out hope before one of us ends up unfollowing the other. That's how these debates always end.
