Yesterday, while in route to Granny's house, I read a post about a guy whose wife was treating him the way men have treated their wives for centuries. Towards the end he mentioned someone accusing Spoutible of being white centered (the accuracy of it all) and how white people were toxic.

Though he tried not to take it personally, it made him feel bad, so he stepped away for awhile. I thought I should help him out. America is a country that practices systemic racism against Black, Indigenous, Asians, and some immigrants.

For a couple of centuries, white people had the luxury of ignoring the atrocities. I repeat - white people had the LUXURY of ignoring the atrocities. The system had control over ethnic minority and Indigenous voices. You didn't have to see or hear from us.

Everyone wasn't armed with recording devices to document the atrocities committed against the victims of racism. Why are the recordings so important? Reason 1: Even if you yourself are not deliberately out there dehumanizing people, you can no longer claim those open racists are Bad Apples.

Oddly enough, people seem not to notice that a single bad apple can destroy an entire bunch. Reason 2: Even in this systemically racist society, racist bosses and corporatation do not want to be associated with people who have been proven to be racists. That's wild, isn't it?

Ahem, many white people are upset because we're challenging this system loudly & clearly. We're calling out the transgressors & putting them on notice. Even if you're not doing anything, you're feeling attacked because very few people who look like you have ever been held accountable for racism.

In the past, people who looked like you never had to face the consequences of their actions when it came to us. Look, I'm not just talking about monkey noises or screaming the N-Word. That's stupidity-induced bigotry and prejudice. We're going after the entire system of racism.

Either join us in this fight or get the hell out of the way. Many of you think tRrump's morally, financially, and educationally impoverished MAGA base make us lose sleep at night. Seriously? They don't have that power over us. People like you do.

People like you deny us jobs. People like you deny us housing and bank loans. People like you are in control the school boards. People like you run the prison system. People like you stuffed Black people into slums/ghettos. People like you control the news and entertainment.

While you personally might not have this power, people like you absolutely do!! Prove that you've learned something by accepting this reality. Don't run away. Face the truth. This is the only way we can move forward as a nation. Otherwise, this nation will fail. It was imploding long before tRump.

I see people echoing this well written thread, but not responding, which is odd. I can only speak 4 myself, but I've seen the US population shifting in my lifetime & people don't cope well w change. Systemic racism, misogyny, & so on reflect how humans are brought up. Education can be a solution. 🤔
