re: #405 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

The word has become almost meaningless and totally useless except as a weapon in the shouting match that any public discussion of race has degenerated into…

And therein lies the problem. We can’t talk about race because white people are too fucking afraid of being called racist to listen when POCs* try to tell them that their experience of America is not the same as ours.

*That abbreviation bothers me, for a wholly trivial reason. ‘POCs’ translates in my mind to ‘Person Of Colors’. But I suppose PsOC would be too strange looking.
