The know it alls, failure to read critically and sometimes to just shut the hell up.

I'm a white woman, I don't dare pretend I know at all what is like to grow up as a minority or face discrimination or be worried I'm gonna get shot by the cops walking down the street. The hair thread was beyond disgusting. And any poster that discusses "white culture" without the use of sarcasm is...well not something I can say out loud.

I really wonder if these people live and work in some white enclave and have never had friends of color?
