I can't tell if your other comment is just making fun of classic liberal strategies for this but I mean...the way people are saluting this fuckin beardo dude on the street does make me think "we are fucked" which I guess I already know but sometimes I just can't stand it

no i was being 100% serious. i think those three things should be the cornerstone of any attempt to deal with racism in this country.

not shutting up and ignoring them in a passive way, just not concentrating on them full stop. there's times and places to challenge people like that (as individuals and groups) but not constantly, because that's when 'asshole as a spoiler tactic' becomes a success.

Oh exactly, I was referring to people who just kind of shut down and ALWAYS prefer to ignore it and let it go. There are appropriate times where racists assholes should and need to be challenged. But you are correct, there are times where that does more harm than good.
