All that it takes for evil to flourish...
Today I learned (again) that it is much worse to call someone a racist than it is to do or say racist things.
Also, that if a racist act happened a long time ago, it becomes magically not racist and so you mustn't say *anything* about it having been, you know, racist.
So, you know, don't discuss racism ever. It will magically go away all on its own and you can make white people feel more comfortable in social media, which is a lot more important than making black people feel more comfortable in social media.
Well, fuck that noise.
