This was one of the first things in my feed this morning, and I can’t be the only one to have to deal with it, so you’re welcome:
White people denying that they’re racist is literal violence because all white people are racist pic.twitter.com/eyP8RTjVme

I wonder what it’s like to obsess over race all day, every day? Do these people have jobs to go to, or do they just hang out at Starbucks all day and spend their parents’ money? That was more of a rhetorical question….but yeah.
Also, her voice is “literal violence,” since she brought it up. I’m not the only one who believes it sounds just like this:

I wonder if this Mr Magoo-glasses-wearing chick would dare to come to my neighborhood (rural Texas, mind you, where there are lots of different shades of people) and spew this garbage. I’d actually like to see if someone like her, sitting in her presumably white neighborhood – be willing to do that. I’m a white woman living in a rural area that’s about as diverse as you can get, and I often wonder if a chick like her – if you stripped the TikTok away – would be as ballsy to say these things to a white lady like me on, say, my front porch? You know – in person.
My bet would be no, but I’ve never been much of a gambler.
Narcissism is wild

In a last, despairing attempt to find a ruling principle that could, if widely accepted, restore some modicum of social harmony to our badly beleaguered nation, I propose this simple, easily memorized five-word maxim:
Keep your “shoulds” to yourself.
While this maxim applies with greatest force to “You shoulds,” it’s almost as wise to withhold your “I shoulds.”
Advising another on what he “should do” is never politic. It poses you as his superior, at least topically and for a moment. No adult likes to be put in the position of a student at someone else’s feet. Remember: American citizens are the best armed in the world. Do you really want to “should” someone who might be packing in a heavier caliber than you are?
(Children resent it too, even when they need the advice to keep them out of serious trouble. That’s why raising children is a difficult and hazardous undertaking best left to qualified professionals with degrees in Gender Studies. But I digress.)
Admitting to others that you should (or shouldn’t) do this, that, or the other thing often makes them feel uncomfortable, especially when it’s related to a serious fault. Besides, what responses are you likely to get? “Oh no, not at all” — ? Unlikely to be sincere. “Yes, you should, so why aren’t you?” — ? Who wants to hear that?
As they used to say at Incredibly Big Machines: Before you louse something up: THIMK!
White people are not inherently racist. Progressives are, and they do nothing but project.
The annoying speaking tone is one of the many reasons I can think of not to converse with 20 somethings and teens. The only violence I can think of is if someone tried slapping some sense into her, but I don’t know anyone who cares enough about what she and her ilk thinks to want to waste their energy,
