I returned from Vietnam in 1970, a 20-year-old Sergeant who could not vote of buy a beer. I was stationed in Albany Georgia for my last year as an active-duty Marine. I remember Lester (Ave Handle) Madox political ads against Jimmy Carter. "Wha Jimma Cattah claims to be a man of the people. He's got slave down thea in Plains on his peanut plantation." He was a read piece of work, Southern politics back in the day.
I understand that some people have more reason to be inclined to racism based upon their personal experience. My point is about the idea that anti-racists put that into the heads of younger people who did not live through the bad old days themselves.
I wrote nothing to indicate a ratio of racism between the races. Given that I believe that monolithic low expectations of individuals because of their "race" is the foundation of racism, I do think that we all need to keep our own house clean. The low expectations can be the result of personal grievance of propaganda. Does having more reason to be racist make it not so bad? You know that I am well aware that you have written numerous articles that address racism from all groups and don't think that.
Perhaps I have just grown weary of the steady evil straight white man drone on Medium. You may be weary of denial that even though things have improved there are still issues that affect black people more than other groups. I think that you know that i don't deny that.
"Perhaps I have just grown weary of the steady evil straight white man drone on Medium."
Haha, I don't think there's any "perhaps" about it. And while I completely understand why you'd be sick of this, it worries me that this weariness seems to make you more touchy and less nuanced about racial issues in general.
This, in a nutshell, is the danger of online radicalisation. People are bombarded with idiocy online, whether from "anti-racists" or racists, and they start to feel as if the whole world is like that. It's very difficult to fight that feeling. I speak from experience. But it's a really toxic influence in your life. And I'd strongly recommend, as I always do, to step away from the kinds of writers who turn out that trash. .

I actually am avoiding much of it, or am trying, but sometimes I feel like a moth being attracted to a flame.
Many topics have become so toxic that it's a good thing dueling is no longer an acceptable way of settling differences.
