Are both sides just as bad?
No?
Then you’re talking out your ass again.

You can’t just trust black people about what is racist though. They learn to see it everywhere. And that can’t be right, can it? 
(Maybe an /s just in case.)

Sure as fuck seems like it.
SSDD.
The staggering irony, though…

We’ll add your name to the ever growing list, then.
As @Nightflyer already graciously posted with the requisite meme, people of privilege and power do not and SHOULD NOT get to define what oppression of Others is.
All your recent commentary in this one thread did was give a clear demonstration (in real time!) of the dismissive & condescending attitudes of privilege-blind White people which most Black folks have no choice but to deal with, day in and day out, in perpetuity.
Abusing the flagging system won’t change that.

As the poster of the LeVar Burton comment I feel that I should point out that maybe some white people just forgot about racism.
They may not have intentionally forgot that racism exists. Or might have been too young to have ever even heard about racism. Or perhaps they heard about other isms that forced the concept out of their minds somehow.
But that’s kinda the topic of this thread. White peoples and racism. So thanks for the excellent examples!

Is that not the core of privilege? The luxury of being able to forget about racism?

Thanks, watched it all, real talk! I learned some things.
Good to hear a white person like Burnham, problematic as his white liberalism and solipsism can be, appreciated for not only trying, but also for getting somewhere good, honest, and maybe even effective. In “Inside,” that is, which I too liked, and now want to see again. Along with more of this guy’s videos!

Lot of worthwhile YouTube comments there for once too. One mentioned this outtake from “Inside,” a song about Burnham’s white-guy dad in 1985.
Wishing he could be oblivious in ways that his dad was back then is, well… being honest I guess. 
Maybe it’s a step he had to take on the way to becoming somewhat better at racial introspection, and antiracist action.

Yeah, I’m definitely going to be checking out more of his stuff. He has a longer video on Black Panther that I’m gonna watch when I have the time…
