Don’t ever go on tiktok lives. I never really fully understood how many white people actually genuinely think that black people in the U.S just made “bad choices.” It goes something like this. I’ve been in 100s of lives at this point with 100s of white guests in the box.

Topic: White people are racist.

Host: How do you feel about the topic?

White man # 600: I’ve experienced more racism from black people.

Host: You didn’t experience racism you experienced prejudice

White man#700: What about black on black crime?

Host: There is no such thing

White man #895: It’s because of the culture of rap why black people can’t succeed

Host: No it’s because of white privilege

White man #2895: Where’s my white privilege I grew up poor

Host: You didn’t grow up poor because of your skin color, that’s classism you experienced

White man #8,745: If you people would keep your family structure together you’d be doing as well as you were in the 1960s.

Host: Are you dumb as rocks the 1960s?

Topic: White women shouldn’t wear box braids

White women# 155: Why can’t I wear box braids the Vikings wore them?

Host: They were a different style of braids and Viking is an occupation

White woman#564: I just want you to know I’m not racist because my husband is black

Host: Tokenizing your husband doesn’t absolve you from racism

White woman#895: If we can’t wear black hairstyles then black women can’t wear Blonde wigs and straighten their hair.

Host: Some black people have naturally straight hair did you know that?

White woman#1800: How?

Host: Did you know that sometimes white women dye their hair blonde and straighten it as well?

White woman #2654: Why are you guys all ganging up on me I feel attacked!

Host : We are just giving you facts no one is bullying you

White woman#34500: I have a biracial child and blacks have always been the most racist

Me in the comments literally terrified for her black child and the psychological trauma it is about to endure.
