Without ANY attempt to offend anyone, (since I respect this linked writer) I was told just today that, as a white person, I am either 1) a racist, or 2) a white person who has TRANSITIONED from racism, and 3) .... apparently there is NO third option.

And I was hurt by this racism against me, as a white man. True, no one is shooting me dead (yet, and most likely never), and racism against me is hardy of the degree or type experienced by Black Americans, but is that enough reason for me to ignore even microagressive racism against me as a white southern male?:

I am hurt and confused at being the WHITE victim of racism (however mild and non-violent it may be in the midst of very real and very violent racism, most often at the hands of deeply evil white people) after actively fighting racism most of my 62 years. (But mostly I am just really confused.)

Truly, I just want the hate and violent against innocent people to stop. Especially against children and young people. And if there is some price I can pay, or some effort I can make (beyond what I am already doing) I won’t have to be asked twice.

Thank you, with upmost respect.
