I would dead ass smack the shyt out of any black dude who ever called me a c00n in real life, so I'm not worried about any of this website goofiness and these hashtags and gifs and YouTube videos.
I remember sitting in a room years ago at a university that was dealing with racial tensions on campus. A prominent black alum came to moderate a forum on the shyt, and a bunch of black students were in the room yelling at him, accusing him of being a sellout, a Tom, a coward, etc. It was a low moment for me as a black man. The alum was an attorney who had devoted his life to activism and fighting for black causes. He had integrated a university and been subject to all kinds of abuse. He had argued against the abolishment of affirmative action in the Supreme Court. He had used his influence to get countless blacks into college and into good jobs after college. And here he was suffering the indignity of being called a race traitor and a Tom by a bunch of sideline ass college kids who couldn't see past their emotions and their narrow experience.
This site has plenty of moments like that. Y'all can waste your time arguing about the inherent evil of white people, the true definition of racism, and conflating events fueled by hatred with proof that hatred only exists among one group of people. That's whatever, have that. shyt, I probably have more extreme views about the damage white supremacy does to our society than the vast majority of the people who run around rooting for a race war they can't possibly win. But I don't like unfocused, incoherent, emotional analysis from any side. And I don't hop on board with anyone spouting shyt I find intellectually dishonest, weak, or problematic. I gives a fukk how many nikkas cosign it, if it don't make sense to me, I'll stand alone then. Progress has never been achieved by fighting ignorance with ignorance, by abandoning clarity and thoughtful critique in favor of broad indictments of a group of people to incite people's basest instincts. I'm more frustrated by my society's failure to address its race problem than most, but pretending to be morally innocent is pretty much a major component of the sickness that plagues whites, and I'm not about to go down that same road as a black man.
Well said.


LETS BACK TRACK FOR A SECOND...



, and the racist ones have to justify or dismiss their cism in the mirror to themselves so they can feel good.
