The 7 Levels of Racist…

@Lostpoet Did you watch the video itself ? Other groups in positions of power were represented. For many of us this is still reality. The MAGAs would rather not discuss it, which is helping the old ways continue.

And that is what perpétuâtes racism and hatred. 🥺

@bijouxbroussard I got to be honest it was just my impulse reaction after just seeing the image and watching the first fifteen seconds of the video. I noticed that everyone in the picture is a stereotypical white person. I agree with the message it's just the way it's done that I think as a Caucasian it puts me on the defensive. I wasn't saying the message is wrong I was just saying all white people aren't like that.

@Lostpoet Of course not. But this is more about the systemic racism that exists, who is primarily in charge, who can successfully weaponize law enforcement because they are more likely to be believed.

This is a small example that I can relate: my sister accidentally locked herself out of her house, and was sitting on her steps waiting for her husband to get home from work. Someone new to the neighborhood called the police. My sister worked for the school district as a counselor, has no criminal record, but her purse was in the house (with her id, keys and phone). She explained what happened but the police still wanted to take her in. Her next door neighbor and friend (white) came running out in her robe, demanding to know what the police were doing. She vouched for my sister and the police let her go.

My sister appreciated the help, but she couldn’t help noticing that the neighbor didn’t have any id to show, either—yet the police took her word without question.

@bijouxbroussard wow i am so sorry that this happened to your sister. It's so sickening.
