In reply to the discussion: Black Folks, It's time to STOP Taking Care of White People. [View all]Jam134
(1 post)42. To My Black Brother & Sisters About "indiewire.com"
My fellow brother and sisters I would strongly advise you to NOT read the comments surrounding this article on the above-mentioned website - http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/black-folks-its-time-to-stop-taking-care-of-white-people.
The majority of the comments are from racist people and every time that a Black poster posts his or her comment to defend their race, they remove their comments. Basically, they're taking down Black people's posts and keeping all of the hateful and racist anti-Black posts on that website.
I just thought I'd let all of you know because it's very disgusting what they are doing on that website. Just read all of the hateful comments.

Denial IS a chief benefit of white privilege, a very important point to be made.
