Interview with Avery Brooks

[Maurice]

How about because we don't need it shoved down our throats every damn day?

I'm starting to think the real reason that racism still exists is because the people who were oppressed in the past or had ancestors who were oppressed for whatever reason don't want to let it go, and the white kids today go into overkill to prove how enlightened they are.

Okay, I've had my say, now let's see how I get dismissed as an evil racist, when all I did was express an opinion.

An ignorant, unsupportable, blame-the victims opinion. It's not racist. It's just profoundly stupid.

I don't know. Blaming the victims of racism for "bringing it on themselves" is a pretty classic racist talking point.

Then he brings up the "see, if you accuse me of being a racist it'll just prove my point about PC, mwahaha" crap that those who express racist views love to do, because they think it innoculates them against being accused of racism.
