    Do you ever stop to consider that it may be exactly because of your obsession with the skin tone of people, that you have so much racism?

    Try imagining being just as obsessed about eye colors. It seems ridiculous right?

      It does seem ridiculous to me but I’m not racist and we tried that. In the 1980’s and 1990’s they made talking about race a social taboo. You just didn’t talk about it. The only effect was to freeze racism in place while white people congratulated themselves on solving it because they didn’t hear about it anymore.

      So it turns out that in order to fight racism you have to talk about it and give financial support to the class that’s been oppressed.
