    but until you directly attacked my character,

    Which part of…

    This is not some “personal failing” on your part

    …are you having a hard time understanding? White supremacism has nothing to do with your character, genius.

    where I acted defensive before you actually attacked me personally.

    We literally have a term for this, you know… it’s called having a reactionary fit. And yours is going no different than all the others I’ve witnessed over the years. I’ve witnessed it so many times that I do believe it’s unavoidable.

    Correct.

    Why? Why is it such a terrible thing to admit that white supremacism is bigger than you and your personal feels about it? Why is it so difficult to admit that literally growing up in a fundamentally white supremacist society has, by design, not equipped you to view the world through a lens that isn’t white supremacist?

    I realize my fault and try to do better.

    “Do better” at what? Being a “good white?” There’s no such thing… there is just white. Caucasity. It all flows from the same place - the whole point of white is white supremacism. It serves absolutely no purpose otherwise.

    And how are you “doing better” when you get all reactionary when somene asks you to explain why you even have all this privilege in the first place? It’s almost as if you don’t really want to know… perhaps because the whole reason you have it is actually closely linked to the very reason the Rittenhouses of this world act the way they do?

    Anyway, maybe you should stop calling me racist just because I’m white.

    Appealing to “reverse racism” is not going to work for you here - that only works on liberals.

    Again, I do not give a shit about my skin color.

    Then prove it. Detach yourself from whiteness long enough so that you can actually observe what it is we are talking about from the outside. You know… the exact opposite from what you’ve been doing up until now?
