I still don't consider myself racist. I judge people as individuals. And have become well aware that a large percentage of non-white people hate me, as an individual, merely because I am white.
But if someone accuses me of racism, I don't give a shit any more.
“Racist” is not a valid category. It’s an anti-white slur designed to disarm white peoples in the face of ruthless invasion and oppression. Accusations of racism strip white peoples of their healthy in-group biases and critical pattern recognition.
Don’t view yourself as not being racist. View the entire concept of racism as bullshit.
Kind of same, and I do think it's important to judge people as individuals.
Why I said I think I'm getting more racist is, although it was the context that did it, I felt deep revulsion when I saw a picture of a bunch of black people rallying around Karmelo Anthony.
I still won't discriminate against individuals, but I do think I'm approaching "racist" status. Not hateful, not discriminatory...but racist. Because it's now gone beyond mere pattern recognition, into an emotional response.
