I'm not a racist, and I refuse to say I am just to be popular. Keep up the good work Bari, it is a pleasure to pay to see real anti-racist content like this.

I just dislike the way it's a condemnation of the person, down to the marrow. I do think we all engage in dumb racist behavior, mostly knee-jerk stuff done without thinking, from time to time. But that's a far cry from saying we ARE racists. There's a huge gap between doing wrong and BEING inherently wrong. Only the former allows for redemption.

It also prevents things from getting better because once you immediately electrocute people for every transgression no matter how minor, people will not do the self-examination needed to unlearn what's behind unthinking knee-jerk behaviors. You need openness, lack of judgment, and calm to talk about this stuff, and wokeism is the opposite of that.
