Racism.  The protests are all about anti-black racism.   uglystupid2  crazy2  

The author self describes herself as a "college professor of graduate-level counseling, freelance writer, public speaker, and a researcher of all things race, mental health, and social media".   Bless her heart!

Oh, and that evil 2nd Amendment.

"But while it’s natural to marvel at how reckless Trump’s tweets are — like the ones that called for residents of Michigan, Minnesota, and Virginia to “LIBERATE” themselves — the discussion about the president’s Twitter fingers inciting social and racial upheaval is low-hanging fruit. Trump is not the root cause of America’s ongoing saga with racism and white privilege. His rhetoric simply brings to life white supremacist and racially privileged perspectives that have existed for centuries — and have been given the opportunity, in a deeply stressful time, to surface loudly, donning MAGA hats, and exercising their right to bear arms."

I have never in all my years heard any of the people I consider friends bring up racism...Progressive like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBC, BBC AND ON AND ON...all the time...these are sick people that need some serious help.

If you spend your whole life looking for racists and racism, you'll probably find them/it.

If you spend your whole life trying to explain and define all injustice and unfairness in the world as being seated in racism, you probably get pretty good at it.

If you spend your whole life defining all human events and motivations as racist in nature, you probably are one.  

If your eyes are brown, you may be full of sh!t.  (but people with all eye colors can be full of sh!t) (being full of sh!t is an equal opportunity condition)

I guess when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail..

Seems those obsessed with race are the real racists, I judge a person on their merits and don't give a flip about skin color.

I'm with a Japanese woman, my daughter likes to date black men, her boyfriend is one of the finest young men I've ever met, articulate, soft spoken and highly intelligent..

But I'm still a deplorable racist  cooldude

It was good perspective but I thought it was missing just a bit of clarification.
