white people as a whole?

That M. Obama video and the comments are touching upon an emerging thought/fact that if/when discussions about race come up around whites the response is to view the discussion as an attack on their morality (see: white fragility concept)

Because every citizen is now an amateur reporter we've been exposed to countless plain, obvious examples of acts motivated by/exacerbated race or racism. And in nearly every example there have been two views; the objective view vs the subjective.


Can we even start to have objective discussions about race if people view these artifacts with totally different eyes?

even when shit is plain as day people will straight up deny what is seen or will try to move the goal posts.
