I’m not sure what world you’re living in, but it clearly can’t be the one myself and 7 billion other people inhabit. If you haven’t noticed, it IS us against them. Neo-nazis and white supremacists aren’t just regular people… They’re racists. Hateful. Violent. Threatening. They are the type of people to run over dozens of people over a statue (that symbolizes hate). They are the type to threaten to “burn” out all of the minorities in the country (have you seen the Univision interview with a KKK leader?) Your oversimplified idea of how we’re going to cure racism and come together is quite laughable. Racism in America is not a scab that heals itself over time. If it was, don’t you think 50+ years has been long enough? “Stop picking at the scab”? Do you not realize that the RACISTS are the ones who won’t let the legacy of hate and separation die out? What the hell would blacks, Latinxs, Jews, etc. be complaining about if racists weren’t constantly trying to oppress and hurt us? Racism in America is a tumor that has to be cut out, and we do that by being aware and confronting it head on. No one is race baiting: when people are shooting up black churches, hitting people with cars, and constantly using racist, hateful (and to use your own word) DIVISIVE language towards others, well I think there’s an actual reason to be concerned. If you, as a black male, think that calling other whites to action in order to confront and eradicate the racist and dangerous ideologies held by people in this country, is RACE BAITING and divisive… Well, sir, I think you’ve already made it off the deep end.
