The ignorance in this video is so astounding that it’s pissing me off.

1. 9/11 did not occur during Obama’s term.
2. Reverse racism: a thread.

“At some point, the actual meaning of ‘racism’ got mixed up with other aspects of racism-prejudice, bigotry, ignorance, and so on.”1/6

“At its core, racism is a system in which a dominant race benefits off the oppression of others — whether they want to or not. We don’t live in a society where every racial group has equal power, status, and opportunity.” 2/6

“Yes, white people all over the world and throughout history have experienced atrocities like slavery and persecution. But in the specific context of American history, white people have not been enslaved, colonized, or forced to segregate on the scale that Black people have.” 3/6

“They do not face housing or job discrimination, police brutality, poverty, or incarceration at the level that Black people do. This is not to say that they do not experience things like poverty and police brutality at all...” 4/6

“But again, not on the same scale —  not even close. That is the reality of racism. Rather than acknowledging the realities of how people of color deal with racism, white racists do mental and hypothetical cartwheels in order to justify these injustices.” 5/6

“If you think about it, reverse racism is actually kinda great. Because if it did exist, it would mean we lived in a society in which all racial groups have an equal amount of power. But we don’t.”

And that’s why we felt it was time for a Black president, you dumb Qunt. 6/6
