      It exists. It has no systemic power. That’s why it’s not meaningful.

      Pretend I’m a Black person who hates white people. What power do I have over you? Maybe I can refuse service at a store or business. Now think of the power of the State. Shit, they can lock you up, restrict your ability to vote, etc.

      It’s like stupid christians who complain that they’re persecuted for living in a christian society. It’s utterly facetious.

      Miss North Carolina USA said she lost her crown due to her faith. Then the racist posts surfaced.

      This act is papering over a racially segregated classroom instead of addressing the underlying social mechanisms through which this was accomplished historically and is maintained today. You, *you specifically*, need to learn to see things from other perspectives.
