Burgess Owens: I'm so glad after living through segregation and the racial tensions of the 60's that I now have woke white college kids willing explain what real racism is to me. (twitter.com)

Because of course, even while being a based anti woke minority, its still the white people that are the real villains of the story

Yeah, I don't really like this take either.

If you want to throw it in the face of one of these white asshole wokeists when they're screaming at you, sure, that's a useful tool for disarming that type of person.

But too often it's just another ball of racism. It's not exclusively white people doing this shit. I don't even know if it's disproportionately white people doing this shit. I'll accept that it's a majority of white people, but that's not terribly meaningful in a majority white country.

Quit attributing things to race, unless you're specifically talking about population-level statistics.

Pragmatically speaking, if you can silence the young white wokesters, BLM will run out of steam. He is trying to rally blacks to reject the fake racism pushed by progressives. I think everyone knows there is far more opposition to BLM coming from whites than blacks.

Except his complaint isn't that they are throwing fuel on the fire of a racial movement that wants to burn down the cities of America and institute communism, because there are plenty of wokesters of all colours who are doing that

No, Burgess Owens is complaining that they had an opinion on racism while being white, and I'm fucking tired of hearing it

He's criticizing the absolute reality that young white people who are college educated are generally pro-BLM and trying to tell him that real racism is happening. He is saying that their grievances are not legitimate.

If it takes a black man to snap them out of their ideological possession, frankly, I don't mind. Break the possession then once they are actually receptive to new ideas, we can explain why race shouldn't influence your opinion on the validity of an argument. You're already standing at the finish line of this marathon of unbrainwashing these people.

An interesting take, but would his response be any different if the wokesters were Asian? If not, then I don't see how his response is anti-white.

  1. Owens supported Jeff Sessions over Cory Booker.
  2. He's anti-reparations.
