I'M not a racist , but....

Over 70 million Americans said , I’m not a racist, but
I’m voting for a convicted felon and sex offender and the person responsible for January 6 because, well you know, she’s black.
I’m OK with Supreme Court justices openly taking bribes as long as they keep “those “
people in their place.
I’m not racist, I just don’t want my children to go to school with any of them, so if I can get tax money for my private school , that makes me happy.
I’m not racist, but allowing supremely qualified people to apply for jobs that might take work away from myself or other people I know who aren’t as qualified just isn’t right.
I’m not racist, but slaughtering children in schools isn’t quite as important to me as keeping my gun because you never know when “those “ people might come into my neighborhood.
I’m not a racist, but voting for people who are destroying the planet and who are getting rid of all the environmental laws is just the price I have to pay for being allowed to not having to live around “those” people.
I’m not a racist, but having my Social Security information and all my banking information in the hands of a foreign born racist just doesn’t bother me.
I’m not a racist, but having free speech literally being taken away from us doesn’t really bother me as long as I have the speech that allows me to denigrate “those “ people.
I’m not a racist and I love my country and I love my children. Just not as much as I love my guns , my tax breaks and my ability to not have to live around or have anything to do with “those “ people..
I’m not a racist, but healthcare corporations literally screwing us from here to the horizon doesn’t make me angry, but did you see that crime that was committed by one of “them” ? Something should be done!
I’m not a racist, but I will put a racist on a pedestal higher than that of all those who gave their lives in World War two, all the civil rights workers, and all the women suffragists.
I’m not a racist, but even though I know in some part of my brain that corporations and billionaires are using racism as a divide and conquer strategy. I’m OK with that because those people are white .
America is not a racist country. Keep telling yourself that . whatever helps you sleep at night..

That is something that we could change very quickly and completely.

But, we worship the rich, so that will never happen.

We worship greed as a positive trait, so that will never happen.

We prefer to believe the lie that we could get to their level of wealth, as opposed to understanding that they ahem already rigged things so that we can't do that, so that will never happen.

In short, it will never stop because enough of us don't want it to.

Because that is what he said.

Basically, that we can either keep on making babies until everyone is 'kind of coffee-ish', or we can just drop all the racial crap.

It is too bad that no one listened to him.
