Well, all you’ve done here is show yourself to be a clueless, privileged white person.
The examples of blatant racist behavior toward successful black people come in daily. From the woman who called the police on a black bird watcher in Central Park, to Derek Bell being harassed in a routine traffic stop, to the common problems of “banking while black” recently experienced by Ryan Coogler, these are only the most high profile of countless examples of how blacks in America — whether wealth, poor or middle class — continue to be treated unfairly due to the color of their skin.
Your claim that this is an “outdated viewpoint” is either willfully blind or intentionally false. In either case, it is clueless.
There is a deep-seated, visceral racism problem in the USA. Your rant is a perfect example. Denying there is a problem with racism is racist, bud. I say that as a privileged, wealthy, white, cis male.
One does not have to deny racism exists in order to also believe that the wealthy oppress the poor. The two problems can co-exist. So why do you claim otherwise?
The wealthy have oppressed the poor since time immemorial. That’s pretty much a fundamental building block of all human communities. There are leaders and followers, privileged and oppressed, wealthy and poor. There are also conflicts between blacks and whites, Asians and blacks, Muslims and Christians, and in the words of Tom Leherer … “and everybody hates the Jews.” https://youtu.be/aIlJ8ZCs4jY
Your essay says nothing new about society but it reveals a lot about you.
Your denial that discrimination against white people even exists is a classic example of what I'm talking about. In order to avoid being hated for your undeserved wealth (as you should be), you try to turn the mob against ME, telling people I'm racist simply for pointing something out that everybody already knows. After all, people can't attack you (as you richly deserve) if they're busy scrutinizing me over your false accusations of racism.
You ARE one of the evil oppressors I talked about who deserves to be punished, and you're trying to evade your comeuppance by pointing the finger at me. As the saying goes, "a hit dog hollers."
Interesting that you don’t believe the problem is racism and yet you accuse me of racism? You just can’t hold it together can you? Everyone’s out to get you, you poor, sad little victim.
"Everyone’s out to get you, you poor, sad little victim."
This is what you SHOULD have said to Jussie Smollett, but because you're an evil bigot, you would never say something like that to a black person. You only express bigotry against white people because that's what our society has normalized. Well, guess what - it's not acceptable anymore. People are pushing back against it, and we don't need to tolerate the existence of human garbage like you, who think that it's okay to express bigotry against certain people more than others.
I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of this societal standard, so that the general public can be inspired to act against hypocritical bigots like you and give you the punishment you deserve.

People did say that to Jussie. Just (heh) not directly, since that would be in poor taste.

I have almost 100 subscribers and my blog has had just under 11000 unique visitors in the 14 months that it has been active. Most blogs take a lot longer to reach this level of engagement so I'm doing pretty well.

What mob? You bragged about a 700% increase in subscribers—so that's, what, six new people reading your blog?
