Racism isn't based on ignorance or lack of knowledge. White people make the choice to embrace racism every day.

The piece is bad enough, but there is a culture that allows thoughts like this to be viewed as 'legitimate' and even 'noble'.

White people, whether conservative or liberal, have created a culture that sustains racism.

That's why racism still thrives in the 21st century.

So, I get up and go about my morning news rounds when I see another high profile piece talking about Nazi's as 'normal' people.

Look, I'm going to be very clear about this.

If you're ever wondering something as vile as Nazism took place, just look at white America right now.

They will go out of their way to deny racism, but bend over backwards to justify the unjustifiable.

"Last week, ProPublica bought dozens of rental housing ads on Facebook, but asked that they not be shown to certain categories of users, such as African Americans, mothers of high school kids, people interested in wheelchair ramps, Jews, expats from Argentina and Spanish speakers. [...] Every single ad was approved within minutes."

A reminder that the blob emoji did nothing wrong and google killed them for unknown reasons, probably related to wanting to squeeze the last drops of goodness from this world.
