All whites are racists?

So right now we’re hearing a lot about Biden’s underperformance among Latino voters in Florida, for example, but far less about the fact that Trump won 60% of white voters in Florida. And white voters make up nearly two-thirds of the electorate in Florida this year, at least according to The New York Times. So Trump’s viability relies almost entirely on his consistently strong white support. But because we don’t talk about white people that way, we tend to focus on these sort of marginal shifts with people of color.

According to many Critical Race Theorists, only whites can be racist. So open up your wallet, whitey.

I was actually told this once. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

Some are born that way. On the other hand, I was not born a racist, nor raised to be a racist. I had to learn the hard way.

The media is painting the white man as being racist what I see is a lot of double standards.

<-- NOT born a racist
NOT raised to be racist (our family had to work with a complete spectrum of people.. and we shared meals with them in our home)
NOT a racist as a kid (because we couldn't field a ball game if we excluded our friends)
NOT trained to be a racist in the military (because, frankly, we needed to depend on each other 24/7)

NOT a racist at work or in my business (Yes, I need to eat and pay my bills)

As we age and mature, our eyes open and we see that we're all the same (stay up nights worrying about the kids, paying the mortgage, who's this new boy our princess is hanging out with, and what's that new pain in my left hip? Almost all of us live and want the same things.)

What we learn to despise are these recent batches of people, or groups, who have risen up DEMANDING what we worked hard for, and threatening to attack our way of life. That's when we find our "hill" and then we're called racist or some other "phobe"
