Caveat Emptor

Denial is not Just a River in Egypt

I read some of the responses, especially from self-declared priveliged white (w0)men one of whom I previously blocked for her (his?) belligerent denial that racism exists in the openly xenophobic country where I live.

People confide their racist views to me all the time in this country, anticipating that I will be sympathetic.

“The greatest trick of the devil was to pretend he didn’t exist.”

How much more evidence do people need?

How is it possible that this denial exists?

I fully sympathize with you and I support your (probably routine by now) rebuttal of their attempt to deny your reality and undermine your experience.

I am outraged that a priveliged white (wo)man is attempting to condescendingly explain to you what racism is not.

Caveat Emptor.

All is not what it seems.

It would be naïve to imagine that there are not paid shills on Medium who have an agenda.

I am not here to contend with them.

Good luck.
