Notes from the Under Dog L.'s avatar

One key trait of the malignant narcissist is to distort interactions to make the other person look nasty. It's the narcissist's nastiness projected onto the real victim. The real racists are Rachel Richardson and the family members who projected this onto innocent people. And they are toxic narcissists. I can use their actual actions to support this assertion. AND I FOR ONE AM SICK OF BLACK NARCISSISTS DERIVING POWER AND CONTROL OVER WHITE PEOPLE BY MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS. We, as a society, have to stop enabling this card-carrying BULLSHIT. It is an ASSAULT.

Last year, I tried to discuss this seriously harmful narrative with my nephew. The "anti-Asian hate?" Most of that was schizophrenic black people, incapable of impulse control, punching Asians and pushing them onto subway tracks. My nephew, apparently, NEEDED TO BELIEVE that WHITE PEOPLE are doing this. WHY? What purpose does this serve? HE'S WHITE.

I presented my experience, now some twenty years old, of a black student not only accusing me of racism, but threatening to knife my face in front of a roomful of people -- and an administration (composed mainly of people of color) refusing to do anything about it until a BLACK STUDENT COMPLAINED. THEN I was vindicated. Is this the world we (WHITE) people want to live in?

I'm in my early 60s and never in my experience have I ever heard a white person say anything "racist" and anything that was said was TRUE, e.g. Don't go in that neighborhood, because....and for anyone who was around in the 70s, the looks of those neighborhoods was NOT GOOD. (Thanks to the War on Poverty, we have a black underclass that expects to be supported and when not supported somehow the 'man' is responsible).

Last spring, I had to go through a kangaroo trial at the university where I teach for volunteering a student of color to co-teach a lesson. This student had been complaining (in a nasty way, by the way, totally unacceptable the way this person treated ME) about having to take my writing class. This student's work, by all objective measures, was not exempt. She wouldn't listen as I tried to go over a poorly written summary with her. No -- I didn't know what I was doing --yes she said this to me. What was my "racism"? I partnered her with a stronger student to give a lesson, thus 'empowering' them. No-- that was "racist" -- it made her feel 'unsafe.' When I asked the HR person what evidence of racism the student provided, she responded:

"She doesn't have to provide evidence. All that matters is the way you made her feel."

THIS HAS TO STOP. It does not help anyone, especially not the aggrieved, narcissistic people of color wielding this insane weapon at innocent people. STOP TAKING THE BAIT.

I hope your nephew saw the hundreds and hundreds of cases of blacks hitting Asians and now understands what’s really going on.

Here's an idea; reducing a human being to a skin color is always dehumanizing and immoral, regardless of which color you choose to use.

A brilliant idea; some of us even believe it. Thank you.

The sad result of this type of behavior is many white people who were never racist will be turned into one based on these kinds of experiences. Thanks Barack.
