his findings

1. white racists (like you “good” whites’ uncles, grandmas, neighbors, and friends) only change their behavior when they are confronted by other whites with more status.

Just because you fuck a person of color doesn’t mean you cant be racist. Strom Thurmond fucked a person of color and that still didn’t stop him from speaking on the congress floor for 24 hours and 18 minutes just to stop the civil rights act of 1957 from being passed.

There is no reason you should disrespect a woman because she doesn’t do what you want her to do.

With Trump’s election and the threat of fascism, Twitter user Raphael Bob-Waksberg reminds us of Martin Niemöller’s words after WWIII:

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
