    Woah wait a minute, I didn’t see this. It doesn’t say that reading and writing is white supremacy. It doesn’t say that at all.

      Exactly. But the right still a needs a boogeyman, which is why the above post exists.

    That worksheet looks like it backs up tue article. What do you mean, “cant be honest”?

      The actually way its worded:

      Worship of the written word (one of nine core traits if white supremacy) = honoring only what is written and even then only what is written to a narrow standard, full of misinformation and lies. An erasure of the wide range of ways we communicate with each other.

      The way the article frames it:

      white supremacy = love of reading and writing

  Came to say I highly doubt it. @PizzaMan obviated the need, but I’m still saying something.

      A quick reading of the actual material is all it takes to show this article to be full of shit.

    Just because you morons don’t like the truth it doesn’t mean it stops being truth.

  Crazy stuff.

  Meanwhile in America, police kill black people on a regular basis. While the black population of America is about 13%, in the prison system black people make roughly 37% of the population (prison policy.org) and the average Black and Latino households earn about half as much as the average White household and own only about 15 to 20 percent as much net wealth. (www.federalreserve.gov) So it seems equally ridiculous to me to insist (and I have heard ppl say this) there’s no more racism in America, that everyone has equal opportunity and everyone can prosper if they blah blah bootstraps and freedom and liberty. What’s funny is that it’s purveyors of bullshit pointing out someone else’s bullshit in such a bullshitty way.

    It doesn’t help when you tell black kids that reading and writing is white people stuff.

      Except that no one is saying that.

      Even so, if you are suggesting that black people would be murdered less by police, incarcerated less by the corrupt criminal justice system and have higher incomes if they would simply read and write more is still wrong: Breonna Taylor was a honor roll student in highschool and a graduate of the University of Kentucky. She was gainfully employed as a emergency room tech when she was murdered in her own home by police. So presumably she could read and write and show up for work on time but that didn’t help her did it?

      So in this thread I see: 1. deliberate misrepresentation of info about white supremacy and 2. blaming nonwhite people for the effects of white supremacy.
