1. Dear white person, If black & POC people are telling you a person is a racist/white Supremacist- consider the hubris & audacity it requires for you to scoff at them & tell them that person is not merely b/c they don’t meet YOUR standard of what constitutes a racist.

2. It’s quite possible, & very likely, that your standard of racist is men is merely men in white hoods. Furthermore, it’s very likely that you define racism in such a way where you, anyone you know, or anyone you support will never fit the bill. Racism to you is a a “real myth”.

3. What is a “real myth”?

A “real myth” is something you want not to be real but can’t honestly deny so you affirm it, but define it in ways that prevent its reality.

Racism for example you say is real, but you define it in such a way that no person could actually be it.

4. You can’t deny white supremacy is real b/c historical evidence proves it is. So instead of saying white supremacy isn’t real, you say it’s real but only exists in bygone era. That’s your “real myth”. It’s a manipulative way of denying present reality & gaslighting minorities.

5. So, when a black or POC says something is racist, or that a person is a white supremacist. Despite person showing clear signs of being such; you respond saying,

“I believe racism is real, I hate it as much as you, but this person isn’t racist, why are you being ungracious?”

6. So again, manipulative speech. You’re claiming to believe racism exists, but you believe it exists only as a theoretical idea & bygone ideology/practice that can’t be applied to white people presently unless they wear hoods. It exists to you, but you also think it’s a myth.
