If I had a nickel for every white person who told me that ignoring racism was the solution to racism, I'd be a very rich person who still faced racism.

From everything I’ve seen on multiple platforms (cesspools) only those on the right are making this asinine claim. That may of course include the disingenuous “classical liberals”, a method of camouflaging being Reich Wing, but liberals in general saying this? Nope. Magats, definitely.
White people dismantling racism, consciously choosing not to be racist and demanding all acts of racism be severely punished (lives destroyed), and doing everything in their power to create equity and pay reparations of every kind for all of the harm caused by racism would be a start.
This is the thing about racists; they always think people are as stupid as they are. This poor schlub actually used the exact same made-up language about CRT and applied it to DEI.
And for anyone who wants to know the definition of whataboutism. It's the attempt to pull attention away from one topic. And onto another. So that the original topic is no longer talked about. In comparison. Comparison? Is the attempt to hold two or more subjects up to be view at the same time.
Giving both as much attention as human possible. And then comparing the differences between the two. Such as...america is majority white. It isn't majority black. Meaning the vast majority of very bad decision in america's long history? Were consistently made by white people.
It’s ok to hate on whites - we have all the money and *never* experience racism. We all enjoy so much privilege that we barely have time to eat all that poorly seasoned food that we can afford with our white skin bonus money we get from the govt.
What do I think about just under 5 billion people? Very strange question. The ones I know are splendid but , for balance , Ming the Merciless (from Flash Gorgon) though , he was a right badun.
The funny thing? People can be racist toward white people in america. But the effect of that? Cannot compare to HUNDREDS of years of non-stop racism FROM white people in any and all topics known to mankind. lol
Like racism is just the thought that another race is inherently inferior. Which can happen. But america is not only majority white. But white privilege exists. So in comparison it would be like someone attempting to blow their bad breath in white people's faces from states away.
Meanwhile. White people's racism? Is LITERALLY nukes. Both metaphorical and actual nukes. Able to completely change the direction of a MILLIONS of people lives in an instant. While racism against white people is so ineffective. There's no reason to ever bring it up. lmfao
Some of us white people have it mixed up with temper tantrums, apparently. Yes. There is a similarity. Sure. It’s a baby reaction. Still, you can’t ignore people determined to destroy your house. OUR big house.
Racism isn't nearly as ubiquitous as is assumed. It was largely solved in the 2000s and then identity politics became a popular election tactic on the Left.
That led to the Black Lives Matter movement which encouraged poor behavior from certain groups and discouraged criticism of those same groups.
Still telling on yourself. Why not just come right out and say it?
Meanwhile, suggesting racism isn't ubiquituous shows you think ignoring it is a solution OR, you are as most people reading will assume, a racist.
I think we've heard every hot take on racism a few times over at this point.
It's never particularly nuanced either. It's a variation of conservatives are Nazis because they point out that blacks have more agency than blacks themselves believe.
Uh huh. Conservatives are very well known for acknowledging not just equality, but strengths in diversity. Right? It's not like conservatives are currently shipping off anyone non-white while gladly rolling out the red carpet to whites? wait . . .
No man, "conservatives" are regarded as Nazis bc of the concentration camps & the fact that their entire ideology is reheated Nazism. Also all the actual Nazis they employ. And the frequency of seig heiling. And all the eugenics. Don't forget actual historical Nazis in their donor registry & ranks.
That would mean that living in America in 2025 is exactly the same as living in Germany in 1940.
Do you think about Jew in a German concentration camp would choose to change places with someone in America in 2025 or say "nah, those are exactly the same?
The comparatively 'Woke' UK Parliament wouldn't even let them savagely slaughter natives and annex their lands. The comparatively 'Woke' Tories basically recognized Indigenous Sovereignty, but the ultra far-right (for their own time, mind you) American colonists found that triggering🤡
We can't nor do we want to hide our skin color. Everytime we go out in public we risk racism. Something NO white person will ever experience. It's easy for white people to claim racism doesn't exist. That's why they are banning books that speak to white ppl owning slaves & the Jim Crow era. Hide it.
The demand for racism from the Left FAR exceeds the supply. Unironically, when racism does happen, it WAY more often than not comes from the Left or BIPOC.
Most recent case, what was the FIRST thing the Left complained about, about the South African refugees? What was their issue with them, what problem did they have with them? The VERY FIRST thing they bitched bout?
Maybe read or listen and you will get your answer. If you want to learn, it is on you. If you want to remain uneducated, it is on you as well but don’t be surprised when people challenge you…
If I had a British penny for every time another human gives me advice purely based upon my skin colour then I’d be a very rich Brit who didn’t have to listen anymore coz I’d be on a yacht which they couldn’t afford. Shall I advise you how to be a better black person?
Ignoring Racism is like ignoring a wound: eventually, it will get a lot worse. Better to address the situation and try to come to a consensus about the solution.
If I had a nickel for every racist & stupid thing I've ever heard another white person say thinkin they were "safe" saying it to me the bald dorky white boy I'd have enough money to buy every racist and sell them to another country. To answer the "did you say something" I promise...every single time

Those seeds were needed to justify horrible actions that didn't align with morality.
Racism will not last forever; human nature and the need to other (e.g., gender, race, religion) is here for as long as we are.
I mean, why be following a seasoned Black rapper from the ‘Natti of you ain’t trying to stir up trouble.
White racism doesn't exist you absolute clueless tosser.
How fucking embarassing for your parents, that this is who you've chosen to be.
men” guys too.
That's not a thing
There are examples of it in this thread if you want to look at it in practice.
Is it ok to hate on them like it is whites?
And conservatives love latching onto a token black person advancing their racist deflections.
Let's face it, talking ad naseum about the ubiquitousness of racism isn't useful and it's gotten really boring
Is ignoring a problem a solution?

Yea..... okay..... lol.....
Addressing inequality is a threat to those whose position at the top is the only thing going for them.
A classic case of, "not MY problem, so not A problem."
Unless you’re Clarence Thomas, of course.
Except they didn't say 'black people's.
Many such cases.
You wont see the irony.
lol
Your mistake is thinking the problem is racism. For white people the problem is you complaining about racism.
