Wokeists are racists, no doubt about it.
 
The hate mail is an example of what she's talking about.
 
I wish that the workshop on the "harmful effects of whiteness" had been allowed to proceed.

People should be able to talk about how perfectly horrible "white" people are.

I agree with this post in principle but two points.

First, subways are crazy safe. Safer than Walmart in Arkansas.

Second, everyone seems to miss the real problem, this is about a class system not skin color.

This link does not refute my post in any way.

It only speaks to the perception of crime and the resources being wasted on it.

My post stands.

This kind of identity politics is exactly what is wrong with America now. Poor MLK must be turning over in his grave.
