Unconscious bias is THE grey area for racism.

It’s not. It’s you defending racism.

This is a fun merry go round. I’m getting off here though. Have a good day.

Your first mistake was defending racism. Your second mistake was defending it with me. I don’t support that fuckery in any form, you apologist.

If you aren’t open to discussion about racism, you won’t make any progress in changing attitudes towards it. Call me whatever names you want, but I’m open to a frank discussion.

It’s not my job to change anyone’s mind on racism. It’s my job to tell them how stupid they are. Generally people with low IQs are racist and I don’t waste my time on stupid people.

I’d argue that it’s all of our jobs to fight racism and therefore to have productive discussions on race that lead to less racism in our society. Calling people stupid is counterproductive, even though racism and low IQ are indeed strongly correlated.

Calling people exactly what you they are is very productive to me. People lack self awareness.

Calling a spade a spade is called for at times. But the OP admitted to racist feelings that he doesnt like having. Telling him he’s stupid doesn’t help him process those feelings. He needs to be told these feelings are understandable given the trauma. But those feelings shouldn’t be directed to a whole group of people. His attackers could have easily been any color or group. They happened to be black because of the whole history of systemic racism. His anger shouldn’t be directed to group of disadvantaged people, but at the system that created this situation he was put in. He should be able to run in any neighborhood without fear.
