Preliminary observations from this weekend’s virtually all-white Moving Secularism Forward conference:

1.We are all Africans—so don’t you (people) know that race is just a social construct
People of color say this all the time to:

a. The white police officers who stop them, frisk them and/or beat the shit out of them because they (five foot two and dark skinned) look like the identical twin of some black or Latino (six feet and light skinned) person suspected of criminal activity in the area

b. The white salespeople who follow them around in stores or the host/hostess who seats them and their families in the back of restaurants
