    I don’t think you understand the words you used. You didn’t actually explain why what you posted wasn’t a racist strawman. I’m not asking Robin DiAngelo to explain it. I’m asking you explain it.

      And I’m asking you to read gooderer and defer to experts that have studied racism instead of making it personal.

          That’s generally how we learn of experiences we’re not familiar with, by deferring to the expertise of those with knowledge of those lived experiences. Why should I pretend to be an expert on racism when I can easily source better information with a link? Maybe instead of denigrating someone that makes you aware of systemic racism, you should dislike the fact that systemic racism exists.

            if you can’t explain your pov without linking to some article, you don’t understand what you’re trying to argue.

              Maybe I don’t feel like writing a dissertation on the historical and sociological iterations of racism for a political meme community. Especially when those reading:

              Don’t care to try to understand it,

              Can’t understand it even if they wanted, because they lack the the relatable experiences to interpret it.

              There is no arguing the validity of white fragility
