I’m not sure of your point. Please expound.
If Utah has hang ups and latent issues, Utah can do something about it. Not sure how I can make that more clear.

He’s insinuating you’re a closet racist. That was pretty clear I thought.
I don’t agree with his insinuation.
I’ll let him speak for himself, and I’ll take serious offense if that’s the case.
You live in Spain, right?
That would explain things. Many non-Americans really may not be familiar with the racially charged contextual use of the word.

I have heard, read and watched the “you’re white” line used over and over to silence or dismiss “whites” on this subject. It’s a common tactic.
You told me to teach my kids to take their power and help give power to those who don't have it. To me, that's just garbage.
Everybody, at least in this country, has the power to improve their lives. Some do it through more adversity than others, but they still have the power to improve. They don't need people to give them power; they need people to treat them like equals. It is the responsibility of an individual to realize and acquire their own level of power.
All an individual can do is lead by example. Treat others how you want to be treated. That is how the world changes.
Again, perhaps a matter of interpretation? I would think you'd agree that it's not appropriate for a white person to tell a black person what the effects of racism are on black people. So, in that context, using "you're white" is shorthand for "this is an experience you can't fully understand unless you have lived your entire life in it".
I remember Boozer yelling "yeah boy" or "get that out of here boy" after an AK47 block. Did anyone back then think of it as a racial slur? I guess you have to be a super SJW these days to know all the terms.
Really? This happens all the time. Kevin Hart comes to mind recently? It's becoming a thing to dig up someones old tweets and destroy their life.
Yeah the governor of Virginia, who was seen as a champion of equal rights, now is being called on to resign when it came out he had used black face in the 80s.
I think being a patronizing SJW is wrongheaded.
I think you have to be staggeringly uninformed to be unaware how offensive it is to use address a black person as "boy", and deliberately obstructionary to pretend to not know the difference between calling someone "Boy" and a phrase such as "Yeah boy!".
By the way, for those who are staggeringly uninformed, I would not refer to an elderly black person as "uncle" or "auntie" unless you know them intimately, preferably with an actual blood/marriage relationship.
And many times it’s code for stfu. I’m telling your straight up. Its used repeatedly to silence dissenting opinions from whites.
It goes against the very nature of what the people using profess to want.
Now for your specific argument. It is foolish for a white person to tell a black person about the affects of racism on black people. And it’s foolish for blacks to sit there and silence whites and dismiss their opinions.
I’m not saying that there is any historical equivalence. Or even broad group based equivalence in today’s society. Their simply isn’t. One is clearly worse than the other.
But shutting people down will never lead to the end of racism. It’s about bringing everyone in. Not shutting people down. And far to often that’s the tactic used.
Well said, Aunt Jemima’s pancakes and Uncle Ben’s rice come to mind.
Ok. I’m done lol.
Time to drink so I can sleep nightmare free.
Maybe, just maybe people need to lighten up a bit on all sides?
I’ve had long conversations with a black friend of mine regarding this matter and we both agree that sometimes there is over exposure on people who don’t deserve any of it.
