And even if you don’t say racist things, growing up in the US, the pervasive, insidious racist ideas (e.g., myths, stereotypes, falsehoods) may have infected our thinking.
I think Dr. I. X. Kendi framed it right. It’s on each of us to understand what those racist ideas are, examine ourselves, and choose to fight against them not just in our own minds but everywhere.
Dude, who are you fooling, you expect me to Believe you never dropped an N bomb? What are u getting out of pretending you never said or engaged in racist behavior when we know profiling in the very least is a very ingrained primitive behavior. Keep living in your fantasy land.

I’ve never once dropped the hard n and I can’t think of anyone who has even my late racist dad. That term comes from a place of bigotry against black people.

Yes. Millions of people can say the same.
Sounds like maybe you are surrounded and raised by racists? That sucks man.
On the other hand, our whole culture has been steeped in racism, ever since Europeans first set foot on the continent. So probably not a lot of people can truly say they’ve never had a racist thought or held some racial bias or did some racist thing, whether unknowingly or not. Because there are lots of manifestations of racist ideas and if one is white, one is probably blind to at least some of it.
It’s a lot easier to never say a specific, disgusting slur.

I’ve never dropped an N bomb. Normal people don’t, and that is absolutely not what internalized or ingrained racism refers to. It refers to the more insidious subconscious racist tendencies, those which I do fall prey to and have to actively unlearn the same as anyone else. The kind of overt racism you’re describing is not the same, and has never been justifiable or explainable, it’s just disgusting and racist. If you truly think everyone else goes around using racial slurs, you absolutely need a reality check and probably some serious amends making, you fucking weirdo
Hes not racist, just made a racist remark like we all have at one point in our lives. He did bust a union though.
Making racists remarks is what makes you a racist. Assuming everyone else has is similarly troubling.
Totally agree.

Are you saying only white people can be blind to their racism? Lol
That’s a real roundabout way of admitting you’re a racist, dude
