The Real White Scourge

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to

May I link to this?

I am ashamed that you and so many others CONTINUALLY have to make posts like this because shit like this happens over and over. I truly appreciate that you do, but damn you'd think we would eventually get it. Stupid breeds and maintains apparently.

I just wish there was a link that put all these kinds of posts into an easy to navigate interface ("Did you just whitesplain? What is derailing? Why it's not okay to use racial slurs no matter your minority status") for racist white people so ya'll could move on to productive things for you.

By all means. Feel free.

Sadly there are places that have this information ready and available. The problem is the people who need to read it simply refuse to do so. Because if they had any intention of not fucking up, they most likely wouldn't be fucking up in the first place. While intent alone isn't magic, it does speak volumes.

Or they dismiss it as yet another example (in their minds) of Political Correctness Gone Mad.

"gay white men who often prove to be the most racist and regularly throw bitchfits because they can't say the N-Word"

The bitch of it is, while the Klan, skinheads, the Nazis, and their ilk are dangerous and we do have to keep an eye on them, at the end of the day, they aren't the white folks who are the biggest threats to POCs. See at least with them, they're upfront about what they're about. There's no goalpost shifting, gaslighting, pearl clutching or white woman tears. We know where they stand and they make it clear from the jump who and what we're dealing with.

Exactly. I think white liberals (tm) have probably heard this before, but it's always in one ear and out the other.
Or they think they're immune to being racist/sexist because they're liberal and being liberal is an antidote to everything evil, ever.
