It’s laughable you accuse the author of having “cognitive dissonance” about white supremacy and the fact African-Americans can be bigoted, but not racist because of the power structures and systems that uphold white supremacy in this country.

Then you arrogantly suggest the author go read a book to support your racist and biased perspective. Next, you point out violence Black people have committed against whites as that being proof an equalizing factor. white people — yes even you, though you are disabled — have unparalleled privilege in this country. Believe it or not, there are disabled Black people and you are above them on the totem pole in terms of advantages in almost every way due to — you guessed it — white supremacy.

Also, to prove your delusional fallacy about Black people being “racist” against whites — since you love research — find me any incident in which Black people biased against white people have ever affected a white person’s ability to vote, get an education, obtain gainful employment, or live in any area why wish. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Pigs will start flying in the meantime. As far as Black people killing white people. Hello, white people have committed horrible, brutally violent acts against Black people in this country since we were brought here over 400 years ago. Lynchings and murders of Black people are a bloody, unbroken streak that runs through this country’s history. Most recently:

  • Dylan Roof killing 9 Black worshippers in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015 AFTER they invited him to join in their prayer service. The arresting officers bought him Burger King because he was hungry
  • the stabbing murder of Timothy Caughman in New York by a racist white man
  • speaking of the despicable crime of rape? Recy Taylor was a young Black wife walking home from church in Abbeville, AL in 1944 when she was abducted by six white men and raped, then left for dead by the side of the road. Those men were never prosecuted
  • Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Addie Mae Collins–all 14 years old–and 11-year-old Denise McNair were killed when the church they were worshipping in was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963 by members of the Klu Klux Klan

I could go on and on about the recorded atrocities white people have visited upon Black slaves and their descendants in this country with the vast majority of the perpetrators never facing justice, but I won’t because you have access to this same information

Do Black people kill white people? Yes. But, um, newsflash, white people kill white people too. Just as Black people kill other Black people, Asians kill Asians, etc.

Again, Black people in this country hating and being biased against white people does in no way, collectively, impact the opportunities, advantages, and privilege white people have — it might hurt y’alls feelings, but that’s it. That’s why Black people can’t be racist, we don’t have the power to collectively oppress and discriminate against white folks. Trust me, IF we did, things would look A LOT different in this country.

Don’t bother with your racist, arrogant response to this, because I’m going to take the preemptive action of blocking you. Good bye.
