This mindset is THE issue. You assume white = racist. Do you see how that attitude might backfire?

I agree that her demands and whole perspective is completely absurd, crazy woman... but unfortunately, people listen to her.
I will say this - using expressions like ;fat black bitch' only fuels the fire, and in some small way sort of validates their claims of institutional racism. You want people to stop paying attention to idiots like her? Don't give them a reason to want to listen to her, this doesn't help...not at all.
There's just no need, it's about tone and context...I mean I'm white, if someone called me "a white guy" or whatever I'd be neither here nor there...but if they called me a "skinny white clown" or something to that effect, I'd be offended.
The title of this thread is ridiculous...seems you get away with a lot more on ATS than you used to...
