    Racist highways, racist voter ID laws, racist viruses, racist policing, racist policies that make black people shoot each other and have kids out of wedlock, racist cross walks, racist credit scores, racist standardized tests, environmental racism. Racist national parks (too few blacks attend) racist camping (too few blacks camp)
    racist Hollywood (too few blacks in movies) racist mortgages because of the racist credit scores, racist criminal justice system (too many blacks in jail)

    I know that there’s a lot of conversation out there about work to be done on I-45 in Houston is being called out due to its planned displacement of about 1,000 households that are primarily people of color

    You'll be shocked to learn this but when they build highways, or waste disposal plants, or rail lines, rarely do they ever build them where rich people live.

    Near where I live they have a refinery. It's in Richmond, California. The refinery has been there for over 100 years. When it was first built there were few if any people living there. During the war thousands and thousands of people moved to Richmond to work in the shipyards. They moved to where the refinery was. The refinery didn't come to them. After the war the shipyards closed and many of the people who moved to Richmond stayed there. Now the people of Richmond scream "environmental racism" because there is a refinery where they live.

    The list of racist things far outnumbers non-racist things at this point.

    We should just keep a list of the 11 or 12 things left in America that aren't racist, and conclude everything else is racist. Way easier. .

    You forgot time. The very concept of time is a racist construct.
    Library fines and due dates are racist now, too

    11 or 12? Maybe 1 or 2 things that aren't racist. Maybe.

    It’s only racist if there is an expectation that you should be on time. Time loses its racist power otherwise

    Probably the most racist one of all tbh

    Expecting black people to show up places is the root of all evil

    Diets are to that loudmouth pig what homework is to kids who hate standardized tests.
