 I love liberals who are unintentionally racist. I'm  currently working with a white guy who, whenever he meets a  black person, says "easy brother" and puts his hand to his  chest and does a peace sign. If he meets a white and black  person at the same time he just says "hello" to the white  person.
 
  Just wanted to share that.

Sounds like a version of that thing many do whereby they  present themselves differently, often without realising, to  different people - found this myself as someone who moved  from London to north Scotland as a kid, the broadness of my  accent changed depending where I was.

Yeah he's one of those people who changes their accent to  talk to people from other countries. We went to a pub and  because the bartender looked slightly Hispanic he tried to  order in Spanish.

In my experience a lot of White Males engage in this kind of  "accidental" racism with such frequency that it's impossible  for rational thinker to maintain the belief that they don't  actually know exactly what they're doing. The fact is that  well over 90% of White Males are simply hateful, resentful,  and bitter to their very cores, even after we've been  actively working to expunge their bullshit from our society  for decades. Whether their pathology is due to an inherent  defect in White-Maleness or because of socialization in a  system of White Male Supremacy is a question still up for  debate, but the real threat that White Males pose to the  continuance of a multicultural society today cannot be  disputed. These days, whenever I catch a White Male  acquaintance—not that I choose to associate with many of  them, but sometimes life provides us with few other  options—whenever I catch one committing the kinds of  microaggressions you describe, I'll just immediately end all  contact with the person. In the past I've tried to explain  to them exactly why whatever fucking garbage they just  spewed is unacceptable, but after so many years I've decided  the only way we'll ever deal with these assholes is total  dissociation. Respectability politics doesn't work. Fuck  them and fuck anyone who puts up with them.

Talib Kwely told me on twitter that the thing about racism  is lack of compassion, and generally those kind of people is  not an asshole only to strangers but also to people of the  same race. which i found often being some kind of barrier  that underneath reveals way more compassionate humans than  the ones that declare they arent racists. i think its a thin  line between being compassionate and having your ass open to  invitation.

i think stating that everyone is the same is disregarding  their culture, they are equal regarding their rights and as  a human being. but of course treating everyone the same and  thinking everyone is the same are different matters. i can't  see why treating everyone the same is denying racism.

I do treat everyone the same and won't deny racism. However,  i do disregard certain cultures. Islam is a patriarchal,  homophobic, sexist religion. I dislike it like it, like i  dislike all religions

you cant fool me with your rethoric, im talking about my  experiences, not to say the your race is far more racist  than the white one. only the latter has more money, and  rules the planet thanks god. imagine the world ruled by one  of those troglodites. you just have rare exceptions, which  is the closest examples of civilization you have.

i don't think disregarding certain cultures or religion is  going to help anything. i think face to face communication  with every individual should be based on your personal  experience with them. meaning the individual sharing  experience you had with them, not the experience you had  with their race, their sex up to that point.
