Because they are racist in obvious ways that's not really interesting to me. Historically sure but today its much harder.

- wpietri 9y agoYou do realize that historically people like yourself said exactly the same thing at the time? Read white "moderates" from the MLK era, for example. He was quite clear on how unhelpful they were: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/01/15/martin-luther-king-jr-s-scathing-critique-of-white-moderates-from-the-birmingham-jail/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/01/15... Racism and sexism, being dominant paradigms in America, are mostly invisible to the people living them. 50 years from now, people will look back on what has changed and be dumbfounded that we thought we were living in an egalitarian paradise. Just like we look back on the people 50 years before.
- ThomPete 9y agoNo I don't realize that and I am pretty sure you can't find much that would back that up. People didn't even think in terms of racism it was just what was normal historically. Today we think like that but that also comes with it's own dangers of becoming another kind of opressor.
