    I think it’s a way for white Americans to distance themselves from the cognitive dissonance of being a settler by adopting an “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategy towards any term or cultural signifier that was made cool by Black people

          There are other forms of racism than institutionalized/systemic racism. There is never an acceptable time to be racist. There never is an acceptable group to target with racism. Permitting any racism is excusing all racism.

              Why are you defending racism? Why do you think some racism is acceptable?

              Do you think more racism is the path to ending racism?

                    /s then I’m proud of being a racist by pointing out how white people can’t experience racism since this system was created by us to put us at the top of the hierarchy.

                    this is literally scientific consensus in sociology, claiming otherwise makes you look like the climate change deniers that say the climate is naturally warming up.

                    I’d also like to mention you haven’t cited a single academic source to prove me wrong
