Yeah, I’m about ready to give up. The rush to apologia for this shows that racism will always be forgiven, excused in some way, that white fragility will always be coddled to, and the devious brown people will always be demonized soon as an excuse is found. The fact that they managed to do this at such record speed shows it will always be fucking with us no matter how hard we fight back against it.

I haven’t confronted anyone directly yet, but my fucking Facebook feed is starting to pile up with “We need to hear both sides” horseshit. Out of sheer frustration, I posted this:

Fuck this spineless “Both sides are equally to blame” horsehit. It’s the exact reason we wound up with a President who was known for being racist; fondling women; a failure at business; and a history for refusing to pay people for work they’ve done.

At some point, you need to grow a goddamn spine and make a choice.

I posted the other day on FB that white people are the problem in this country. I haven’t gotten any pushback yet, but you know what? Fucking bring it. As you pointed out, the rush to apologize for these obnoxious entitled white pricks is nauseating.

White people as a whole have a real hard time with being self-critical.
