I'm not complicit. I've never been in a position of authority over hiring or loans, etc... nor have I ever treated anybody differently for their skin colour. Racism is about intent and your definition expands it well beyond what figures like MLK understood it to be.
To do anything else is evil.
- GavinMcG 6y agoMLK named "the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice" as "the great stumbling block in [the] stride toward justice." I'm not expanding a thing.
- throwaway3699 6y agoThat's still incorrect. I'm happy for there to be disruptions in order to get justice. What I don't agree with is that I'm somehow complicit for society's problems be virtue of being born into it. Or would you be prepared to charge your children with that burden too?
- GavinMcG 6y agoIf they are born into society, grow up, look around, and do nothing? Yes. It isn't enough to not actively hate other people.
