Educate us some more, Learned White Man™.

Thegun is right.

The problem is people think racism today is explicit racism.

We all get happy if all pile on someone for being explicitly "racist" and think we are amazing people fighting against injustice.

It is all stupid and pointless.

Real racism today is implicit racism that exists through how we think and stereotypes and is a issue that does not effect only ignorant people. I am certain many of us on here implicitly have such thoughts without even realizing it.

That is the type of racism that allows black guys to be shot by cops and no one gets in trouble.


However implicit racism is impossible to catch however if we all go twitter into a big circle jerk of outrage over one guys tweet, I think to many that is stopping racism.

His statement was not explicitly racist.

What I meant is if someone says what they think out loud then we all pile on and say that is racism.

However I believe that people keep such views to themselves and then its impossible to notice or point it out.


For example: There is an office Manager who says he won't hire black people. That person gets in trouble only because the manager expressed their view.

Then the other situation is the office Manager thinks to himself "I Won't hire black people". No black people are hired, racism and problems continues.

What I mean from that fight that racism that is inside people but is subtle is much much more harder to tackle. However it is the racism that exists in today's world now that is causing a problem.

It is not some guy yelling out the N word.

Makes sense. Everyone is racist, and you can't tackle it. End of discussion. How about we stop trying to tell people what to think, eh?
