Related: About this forumThe simple truth is that PoC in the US are threatened more by white America than by "radical Islam."
And by "white America", I mean Nazis and "alt-right" fascists and Klansmen, gun-totin' militiamen, reactionary middle-class white suburbanites, wannabe cops like George Zimmerman - and far too often, actual cops -, and everyone else from ICE agents, the Trump-era DHS and DoJ, many within the FBI, and all of the embedded, systemic, institutional forms of racism and racial violence directed by White America against everyone else.
THAT is the honest-to-god motherfuckin' truth. So, let's talk about that truth. Let's talk about something real. I'm sure all of my fellow white Americans are just dying to have this conversation...

MLK knew that we would always have racists and those type of assholes but without white people willing to do the right thing, put their asses on the line, nothing could ever completely change, and it hasnt as a a result of that.
Not the kind of change that is necessary so mothers and fathers don't have to have "the talk", for instance.
What a fucking DISGRACE that any parent in this country feels so compelled to have to do that.
