Is racism nonexistent in 2026 America? That's what gaslighters in conservative media would have you believe, and they're touting their supposed "Black friends" as proof. In this edition of In My Opini
I finally gave in and admitted that I grew up racist, and because of that, I have biases. My life has improved since I started dismantling what I was taught, and, more importantly, my kids, who are nearly grown, have accomplished much more than I could have. I see color. Color matters.
I remember reading a comment years ago that said to say you have black friends is to expect those black friends to be a shield for you. That stuck with me.
I had a grandparent tell me that if I was the only Black person in a place, I should leave as quickly as possible. Do not go to the bathroom first; just leave. That advice has helped more times than I like to think about!
I get so tired of people saying "I don't see color." Then apparently, you can't see how black and white people are treated differently. I see that BECAUSE I SEE COLOR.
I grew up homeschooled and being taught racism ended in the 1960s (except for "anti white racism"). After i moved out as an adult, I started doing my own research, and it was crazy to me how little i knew and how brainwashed i was. I will never stop learning and growing and seeking to be better than how i was raised
If I'm not mistaken, it is primarily white people who have determined that racism no longer exists. White people really have a keen sense for that! Great.. 🙄
Racism is over? Or just accountability for racists behavior? The oppressor says we can't speak about oppression; and don't ask too many questions; as they erase and rewrite our history.
Being 'color blind' is a form of racism
It ignores historical and cultural differences and subjugates minorities to the norms, customs and expectations of the dominant white culture
Gotta love Chief Justice John Roberts claiming racism isn’t a problem anymore in America while 3 of the justices sitting next to him were appointed by a president who posts pictures of Obama as an ape, questions his birth certificate, and lies about immigrants eating cats and dogs.
