It's weird that he thinks Trump is bad… that's just bad math.
George Floyd wasn't killed by the police, fentanyl did it.
White fragility is real whether you agree with someone's particular book, description and corporate brand of it. People being aware of their class ,privilege, personal situation will bring on apologetic and assumptive behaviors that are obvious to people around them. It's really not a big deal and people getting defensive when they are called out reinforces that it is real. This dude had to argue against it's existence by "referring to the text". He also pulls out the "Everyone is a racist" "Her idea of white fragility" straw man arguments. White Fragility is not a harmful idea and may be helpful for people who want to learn how to act more relaxed and cool. For many of us, It has less to do with skin color and more to do with a clueless Class Fragility that continues to pop out. It is an ongoing story, it's ridiculous to think you can put it to bed and be done with it.
If any man holds the door open for me lately, I want to give him a medal for bravery these days, for God sakes.
For all you women that say I wish men got periods or could experience labor, I wish you all could understand the pain of having a set of nuts and being expected to crush them between your thighs! It's not man spreading it's I don't want achy balls.
