On racism . . .
why is racism only one way?

I see posts on here lauding the exploits of Polys, heralding the quickness of blacks, but when it comes to whites it's stuff like, why is so fast, he's white? (often said about Taysom)

Personally, I think people need to stop claiming racism where there isn't any. I understand blacks might say that I can't understand what it is like to persecuted and while I will grant some of that, but remember I am a white Mormon male, so I am also a persecuted minority and my people have been persecuted for almost 200 years. I think we have more in common with racial minorities than a lot of people realize.

I can't stand racism. I wish we never had any of it . . . ever. But claiming it is pervasive where it just isn't even present is not helpful.
