[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people saying “it’s racist to categorize people at all” sound to me like naive and defensive adolescents. If you are white, the world treats you differently — even if you are a single parent, have a substance abuse problem, are poor, whatever. If you are white, how many times have you been pulled over while driving? Been followed in a store? Had someone clutch their purse when you got on an elevator with them? Had people cross the street when they see you coming? Your blindness to these things is part of the problem.[/quote]

I hate to break it to you but in many cases no.  If its important to you to think that, then go ahead.  I can state multiple times that stuff has happened.

1)  When I car shopped multiple dealers insisted their sales staff go with me as a white woman, not dressed fancy which was really uncomfortable being in a car alone with a strange man (sometimes with my child).  Range Rover on the pike was really nasty and kept asking me about my finances and they didn't need to know anything more than I had the money and planned to pay cash.  And, yet no one believed me.  The dealers were a huge mix of races.

2) I have also been watched at stores very carefully and followed around.  I've never ever stolen anything.

3) I was pulled over near my home and accused of not stopping at a stop sign when I knew I did.

4)  I worked for DC government and the only white worker.  Some of the staff, especially administrators were horrible to me.  They very clearly treated me differently and finally a few co-workers who treated me very well told me to quit as there was nothing there for me.  They never let me do my job and had me do basic office tasks, including cleaning and things like setting up a Christmas tree (and got angry with me for how I did it because I had no idea how to do it and it was before youtube.  They knew I had never had a Christmas tree nor did I practice their religion and they still forced it).  Same office insisted on Christian prayers and shamed me for just standing there and not saying them.

Would you like me to keep going?  [/quote]

No, I’m sick of seeing the exact same examples from Reddit last year.  The school BLM blog did the same all summer. Run the plagiarism software on it. [/quote]

I don't post on reddit and those were my experiences so you could not see that there.  And, if you don't want to believe it, fine.  You stick to your racist ways and continue to keep racism alive.[/quote]
