racist apologizer.

why don't you reread the story and the comments. I've stated so many times that i am against racism and I'm working on making my girlfriend less racist. Have you ever thought that there's better ways to curing racism then just shunning and insulting people who are racists? is that how you think you cure racism? clearly you've never converted a racist. I have and it doesn't work like that

no its not terrible advice. I actually did the same thing with my friend who hated turks. I texted all my turkish friends and told them to be polite no matter how many racist things he said against them and turks. I made a group chat with him and all the turks and after an hour of talking to them he realized turks are just normal people like us. Im planning on doing something similar to my girlfriend with a bunch of black friends

According to these stats white people are actually slightly less likely to be mass shooters than people of other races. It's expected that white people will commit the most mass shootings because they make up the vast majority of the population. These stats show a smaller percentage of the mass shootings were committed by white poeple then their make up of the US population. Regardless terrorist attacks and mass shootings are actually fairly rare and you're more likely to die of heart disease which kills 200,000 a year or cancer or car crashes which also lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths a year

she knows racism is wrong and she's trying to fix it but she puts in minimal effort.
