White people’s favourite pastime when discussing race on any social platform:

-Moving goalposts

-Bringing up black-on-black crime as if

    -a. they actually care about black on black crime

    -b. it’s relevant to the conversation (it’s usually not)

-Cherry-picking Martin Luther King Jr. quotes (it’s always the same 2 or 3)

-Comparing BLM to the KKK and neo-Nazis

– “If I’m so racist then how come [insert some form of bare minimum interaction with a black person in their daily lives]”

– “Why do you people always have to make everything about race”

– “If things are really that bad then why don’t you go back to where you came from?”

A few more off the top of my head:

– Presenting cherry-picked statistics with either shoddy methodology or stripped entirely of their original context and then falling back on “I’m not racist, I’m just stating the facts. Facts aren’t racist”

– *copy/pasting the Stormfront copypasta.* (you know the one)

– Bringing up welfare

– Accusing Affirmative Action of being racist
