This is your solution to systemic racism?! That everybody "just" holds themselves to a "higher moral standard" than 99+% of people? Yep, "Good luck" is right!😅

How about explaining what that means? How about a definition of racism that doesn’t implicate 99+% of people, white and black? How about goals that are measurable, even vaguely realistic, and more meaningful than “be kind”?

And, most of all, how about explaining how you're “dismantling the racial hierarchy” you spoke of? Or acknowledging that by your own framing, you're “participating in it” too (whatever that means)? I'll also accept admitting that this is a silly, meaningless talking point that gets tossed around without any real thought.
