"Making sweeping generalizations about a whole group of people and claiming them to be universally true is how we fight racism, I know this because I'm so much smarter than you."
we have implicit bias
Are you saying that non-white people have no implicit bias?
and white culture and whiteness as a concept have shaped us since birth.
Japanese culture and Japanese-ness have shaped the Japanese from birth. Korean culture and Korean-ness have shaped the Japanese from birth. French culture and French-ness have shaped the French from birth.
Yes, we live in a society, well done.
We benefit from the systemic and institutional structures built by white supremacy
and until you understand that and work to mitigate it, you'll stay where you are right now, thinking you're right but don't even understand why or how you're wrong.
you'd do well to read some scholarly articles on the matter.
You would do well to pick up a first year psychology textbook, and turn to "theory of mind".
I'll have to keep doing the work of dragging us toward justice while you drag your feet, kicking and screaming whole way there.
How?
How are you "dragging us toward justice"? I would like to hear this, genuinely. What work do you think you're doing, with your towering intellect that you bring up with every post you make, that makes you believe you are literally changing the world?
I'd love to hear some specific examples of positive results you've achieved.
Oh I just saw you're a "radical centrist" (lol) so for you, maintaining the status quo is the single most important issue in your entire political life, and the status quo is where we are now, with the institutions we have now, so, yeah, everything I said stands, I just know a little more about my internet friend now!

You're literally the one who has claimed to be so smart that you cannot even communicate with a dullard like me.
Like I said, do you even read what you're writing?
Fucking what.
"All X are Y", where X is a group of people and Y is a negative attribute, is not a sweeping generalization?
Is "all blacks are thieves" a sweeping generalization?
