The only reason white people have the capacity to understand that misogyny is a man’s disease, homophobia is a straight person’s disease etc. but not understand that racism is a white person’s disease, is because white people can’t be POC. They just generally do not know how to empathize with a group unless that group has the potential to be white.

But it’s more than empathy, because if empathy fails, you would think, ‘hey at least we still have logic.’ Nope! Not white people. They can talk Karl Marx and Betty Friedan till they blue in the face and then completely miss the point when a Black 16 year old blogger discusses cultural appropriation in absolute layman’s terms

Racism is unrelenting and illogical as fuck.
