graduates “look like gang members to me” and claims he would
have said the same of white people dressed similarly. A white
physician mistakes a Black physician for a janitor and says it
was an honest mistake. A white woman asks to touch a Black
classmate’s hair, is scolded for doing so and sulks, “I was just
curious.”

interactions and contexts, across American society. A white

called on it and reacts defensively.

innocent, not associated with racism at all. Many contend that
those who complain about microaggressions are manipulating
victimhood and being too sensitive.

So, are they correct? Of course not:
--- Quote ---
> We found direct support for what recipients of
microaggressions have been saying all along: Students who are
more likely to say they commit microaggressions are more likely
to score higher on measures of racial bias. One’s likelihood of
microaggressing also predicts how racist one is judged to be by
lab observers, as they watch real interactions unfold.
> ...
> In our studies, other kinds of microaggressions, including
those that explicitly deny racism, are strongly and explicitly
related to white participants’ self-reported levels of racial
bias. For instance, the more racial bias a participant says they
have, the more likely they are to say, “All lives matter, not
just Black lives.” These expressions are more than small doses
of toxin. Still, even in these cases, racial bias does not
explain all of it, leaving ample room for defensiveness and
claims that the recipient is being too sensitive.
>
> In our research, participants who agreed with the statement “A
lot of minorities are too sensitive these days” showed some of
the highest levels of racial bias.

--- Quote ---
> The action has been launched by Experi Theater collective,
which describes itself as a “non-white performance group.” The
group has featured a number of non-White artists and performers
over the years.
>
> Critics of the group claim a theater space that excludes White
people is racist, according to news outlet Neue Züricher
Zeitung. However, the group has responded that such criticisms
are actually racist.
>
> “There is no racism against whites,” the group argues. They
claim that racism is a White construct that oppresses people who
are non-White. “That’s why it’s so important to unlearn White
practices and structures in anti-racist work,” they write.

If they had demanded a "black" theatre, that would have been
racist. A "non-white" theatre is anti-racist.

accompany a simple traffic stop.

> Not so they could feel the indignation of being asked to
account for yourself just walking down the street.

> Not so they could feel what it’s like when your bank loan is

your pain seriously, you don’t get the job, your preschooler
gets suspended, the shopkeeper follows you around, you can’t
hail a taxi or you wind up in handcuffs, because of the melanin
in your skin.

> No, I wish white people could be Black so they could know how
it feels to deal with all of that — and then hear white people
complain how hard they have it.
>
> The reference is to a recent political ad. You likely haven’t
seen it if you’re not in Georgia, but it surfaced on Twitter the
other day courtesy of Isaac Hayes III (yes, the son of that
Isaac Hayes), where it reminded us that, in matters of race,
some of our white brethren and sistren — repeating for emphasis:
some — are shameless beyond words and clueless beyond parody.
>
> “When did racism against white people become OK?” asks the
announcer. The piano frets worriedly behind him, and white
people gaze soulfully into the camera as he lists supposed acts
of “left-wing racism” and “anti-white bigotry” they face from
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. We lack
space to detail those claims, but it won’t surprise you that
they’ve been debunked by Factcheck.org, Politifact and The
Washington Post. Nor will you be stunned to learn the ads are
funded by something called America First Legal, led by Stephen
Miller

> Yes, the spot is obviously a direct descendant of the
notoriously racist Willie Horton ad of 1988. But our attention
today is on how it tries to neutralize the language of liberal
protest by co-opting it, i.e., re-framing “racism” as something
suffered by white folks. It’s a rhetorical trick the white right
has used for years. Which is not to say it has lost its power to
infuriate. This narrative that racism is a “both sides”
phenomenon may be comfort food for them, but it is a libel upon
my ancestors.

> Again, however, it is not new. Maybe you recall a 2016
exchange about racism between Bryan Richter, a white cop in
Austin Texas, and Breaion King, a black woman. “Do you believe
it goes both ways?” he asked her. This, after he had
body-slammed the 112-pound woman, handcuffed her, stuffed her in
the back of his car and lectured her on the “violent tendencies”
of, ahem, Black people.

> One wishes they could be Black, but for their sake, it’s
probably best that they can’t. If they were, they’d have to deal
with white people like themselves.

The term "good white person" is as big of an oxymoron as saying
"good Jewish person". They are both the same exact thing!

Black, unless it be to reinforce their cherished narrative of
how racism went away a long, long time ago. If you simply must
discuss racism in a present-day context, then talk about how
white folk are the new victims.

for the fool’s gold of approval from those who would otherwise
hold him in contempt.
