2639950, EXACTLY. A black man must be PERFECT to be a victim of racism. Posted by Orbit_Established, Thu Jan-25-18 02:13 PM
That might be the single most absurd and unfortunate, yet wildly pervasive, idea in America. And it has really sad and unfortunate consequences.
In fact, the worst racism happens precisely TO imperfect black men (the criminal justice system). Check the death penalty data. Check the war on drugs data. In fact, we make YOUR EXACT EXCUSE whenever this issue comes up:
"I"m not drumming up sympathy for a guy who did X."
What does him having done X have anything to do with him deserving unfair treatment? Racism and racism.
An analogous issue has come up in the #MeToo movement:
A sex worker doesn't deserve to be raped or beaten any more than any other woman. Rape is rape.
I recognize that you're probably not intelligent enough to grasp this, and that's cool, almost nobody is.
But your post is exactly how racism operates, perniciously.
And that you so boldly walked into the issue, is exactly why everything is fucked up.
