To give a sense of just how ridiculous this has gotten, I’ve compiled 50 examples of things that have been declared “racist” over the past few years. You’ll notice in some of these the notion that mere cultural differences are evidence of racism, as well as the implication that because something was once used for racist ends or at the center of a racist incident, it is somehow permanently contaminated. The brilliant John McWhorter cites two real-world examples of such strained usage of the term “racism”: the rarity of the black oboist, as if this demonstrates anything more than the fact that most black Americans just don’t have much interest in playing the oboe; and declaring the filibuster racist, with Strom Thurmond’s 24-hour speech against a 1957 Civil Rights bill often cited as an example of the practice being employed to further racism (never mind that Obama readily supported use of the filibuster).

Starbucks ordered to pay $25.6m in damages to white regional manager who claimed she was used as a ‘sacrificial lamb’ to calm racial outrage after Philadelphia arrests
I love the black owned labeling at the stores so I know what not to buy.
Academics and scientists have to find something to say or they're irrelevant or worse, broke.

What characteristic of white supremacy culture has been the hardest for you to unlearn??? For me, "sense of urgency" has been the hardest since I'm naturally impatient too.
@monitoringbias
Thanks for asking, Shana.
I'm having a hard time trying to unlearn the following characteristics of white supremacy culture (as listed by the National Museum of African American History in 2019):
strong work ethic
planning for the future
objectivity
rational linear thinking
respect for Western civilization
self-reliance
the written tradition
the nuclear family
being on time
speaking grammatically-correct English
the scientific method
private ownership of property
action orientation
competitiveness
delaying gratification
decisiveness
politeness
celebrating Christmas
respect for authority
understanding cause and effect
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a support group I can go to to help me unlearn these harmful traits?
Funny, as an increasing number of successful Black woman are talking about dating White men since the White men are more likely to marry and stick around.

I believe the most qualified person should get the job.

that’s because black guys know black women and hence avoid them. white soy boys are kind of clueless so they fall for that.

Biden is racist.
MOSCOW, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Russia said on Monday a European Union ban on Russians bringing their cars and some personal goods into the bloc was racist, and one ally of President Vladimir Putin suggested that all diplomatic relations should be severed in response.
In an explanatory note to its rules on sanctions imposed over the Ukraine war, the European Commission said Russians were temporarily barred from bringing some personal goods or vehicles into the 27-nation EU.
The annex referred to in the advice also appears to ban the import of a host of items which could be dual use alongside more mundane items such as make-up, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper and mobile phones.
"It's just racism," Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said of the Commission's advice. "This is racism pure and simple."
Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said the EU had just spat in the face of all Russians, saying they were being treated as "half-animals with bad heredity".
