#1 whiteness "does not simply refer to skin color[,] but [to] an ideology based on beliefs, values, behaviors, habits, and attitudes, which result in the unequal distribution of power and privilege based on skin color."

So, blackness is not about pigment
But ideological figment:
Bad habits, behaviors,
And race-baiting "saviors"
That keep you dependent and ign'ant.

#6 I'm hoping I run into one of these clowns soon - I'm gonna grab his / her phone, yell 'Alexander Graham Bell was a white Christian male - who owned slaves!' and chuck it as far as I can, hopefully into a nearby stream.

#7 Yet somehow they have the effrontery to post these messages in English, on the internet, all generated by an electronic keyboard device. They should strictly limit their communications to an oral mode, and only using non-Indo-European language.
