Can we finally say that people who lean to the white Caucasian side of the spectrum would have a different perspective on identifying racists, compared to members of minority groups who have to bear the harm from the benefit of the doubt?

(10,611 posts)They will throw Dems / Progressives an occasional bone with the Joy Reids and Rachel Maddows they allow on the air to create the illusion of 'fairness', but at the end of the day, they are corporate-owned.
They will not bite the GOP hand that feeds them.
Dems need to bypass this coverage and remind people daily that:
** He has/had Nazis and White Nationalists in his cabinet, driving policies that have a disproportionately negative impact on POC
** His 'presidency' was celebrated by David Duke and Richard Spencer and continues to give a twisted 'hope' to white supremacists
** People on his reality show can attest to his racism, including a desire to have a "black vs white" format
** He has housing discrimination and derogatory attitudes in his public background
** He campaigned on derogatory mischaracterizations of Mexicans

(15,124 posts)one damn bit of trouble identifying racists and I understand that racism is an existential threat to POC. My shortage of melanin did not effect my mind or my ability to empathize. You either care about people---of all colors---or you don't.

My cat is named Book and he has more credibility in one meow than Mooch does in all his Gish Gallops.
