Wear a sheet then they won't know your eyes are closed while you nap.

Make sure you give the OK hand sign.

(Was listening to a podcast the other day.  They knew full well that it was a 4chan troll, but argued that it was now in fact a rassis symbol, because the rassiss folks picked up on it.)

On that last part, how did that person know?

I keep thinking someone needs to turn it around and wear white face, then ask for a raise.  Probably wouldn't go over well.

The vibe I got listening to it was lefty and smug.  NPR level smug.  So, they just know.

I got to go through it... Twice!

Once at my regular job, and once for the college where I teach evenings.  The one for my regular day job was much more lengthy and involved.

I've always held the opinion that race doesn't matter to me.  We're all humans.  I'll work with anyone, and have made friends with all kinds of folks.

I have now learned that this is wrong.  That by choosing to not acknowledge race, I am diminishing other races as I do not see them for who they are, apparently.  So, I guess I should try to recognize the racial differences between people in an effort to not be racist?

2020 man, I don't even know anymore.

Be good, now.  No snide looks, eyebrow-raising, eye-rolling.  No remarks about the old-time Dem party.

Practice muttering "Right on" and nodding in agreement.

Save your glory for where it will be effective.

Admitting you're white is the first step in admitting you're racist and ashamed of it

Just tell them you feel inside that you're really a black male lesbian trans man.

Be sure you work this into the "discussion":

"Abraham Lincoln once said, 'If you're a racist, I will attack you with the North,' and those are the principles I carry with me in the workplace."

Acknowledging race is to differentiate by race, and is by definition, racist.

The real definition, not the libtard version.
