I post this as someone absolutely, unalterably committed to racial equality.
Here are two stories for you. One comes from Amber Randall’s article at dailycaller.com:
A Seattle, Wash., councilman implied that a new effort to clean excrement off the side walk outside the local courthouse could be racist Tuesday.
The crime and smell of urine and excrement have gotten so bad outside a King County courthouse that two judges are scrambling to find ways to fix the situation, reports the Seattle Times.
Seattle councilmember Larry Gossett isn’t a fan of one solution to power wash the feces from the sidewalks to tamp down on the smell. Power washing the sidewalks is too reminiscent of civil rights activists being hosed down, he said.
The other comes from”blacklivesmatter activist Deray McKesson
So let’s see:
-According to Larry Gossett, if you power wash crap off the streets you’re a racist.
-And according to Deray McKesson, if you like Planet of the Apes movies you’re a racist.
Here’s the news, Mr. Gossett and Mr. McKesson: power washing and Planet of the Apes movies are not racist.
Yes, there are racists around for sure – people who see race in every nook and cranny and are fast to make an issue of it. But you don’t have to look far to find them.
The nearest mirror will do.
Until the Evergreen College incident I never knew that some people saw everything that happens in the world with the race of the people involved added.
I can’t imagine what that must be like for them to consider what color people are in every situation that takes place. To me that seems racist.
The realization of this was driven home to me in a video I saw by Naima Lowe [Professor at Evergreen] titled 39 Questions for White People.

I’ve seen Lowe’s, er, stuff. She’s pathetic.
Have you watched that 39 questions video?
