Responding to an article about Black residents leaving Austin

Between articles like these popping up near constantly and the rush of articles last week claiming that gay men are attacking black women and "stealing their cultural identity" I am just about tapped out on my sympathy to "racism".

I grew up in a small town that was very segregated. I was aware of racism and felt terrible about it. Now it is getting to the point that I don't care at all. I am tired of the "all white people are terrible" line of thought that permeates liberal spaces. My family immigrated from Germany to escape nazis. The other side of my family was Cherokee. None of my ancestors were slave owners and if they would have been, then that's not my fault.

Meanwhile I have to endure article after article, supposedly written by intelligent black thinkers, that tell me my very existence is racist.

You want to move to east austin? You are a racist gentrifier.

You want to move to the suburbs? You are a racist participating in white flight.

You have black friends? You are a racist collecting tokens.

Don't have black friends? You are a racist practicing ethic cleansing

Support affirmative action? You are a racist! You practice the racism of "lowered expectations" thinking the proud black race needs a helping hand and can't qualify on their own merits.

Don't support affirmative action? You're a racist! You are to scared to compete on a level playing field.

If you try to expand your horizons and immerse yourself in black culture? You're a racist! You are appropriating culture from the proud black woman!

If you don't know anything about black culture? You're a racist! You just like to whitewash society.

It's impossible to not be racist it seems, so I don't care anymore. The biggest killer of young black men are other black men. The biggest barrier to economic affluence and the greatest contributor to intergenerational poverty in the black community is the black cultures acceptance of ignorance and celebration of thug life. The most racist person I ever met was my black coworker Tatiana who used to get the shit beat out of her for getting good grades. That's right....doing well in school is considered "acting white", and as such she HATED "ignorant black people". But keep in mind....I never see articles from black writers saying how maybe black people need to step up and fix problems in their community. No...it's always the white mans fault.

And then let's not forget the brain trust that is the black feminist. In the 60s a bunch of gay drag queens got together and as a form of fighting back started to adopt speech and mannerisms over exaggerating females. Watch Paris is burning. The sashay. The "mmmhmmmm". The twirling of the head and rolling of the eyes? Gay men invented that. Then 50 years later an over indulged black woman says that gays actually stole that from HER people. And we need to cut it the hell out and get back in the closet.

Fuck her. Fuck people who say I am a racist simply because I exist. Why does the black intelligentsia of this country keep on alienating everyone and telling us we are evil and worthless? That right there should tell you how powerful black people have gotten. They now are secure enough that they don't care about allies. They shit on other minorities like the lgbt. And they insist they are the victims.

I am the most liberal person I know. I believe strongly in social justice. But I am so fucking sick of being called a racist.

Here, read the brilliance of the social justice warrior. This does more harm to liberal political causes then ann coulter and rush Limbaugh combined
