Here’s just a portion of the nonsense. If you want to give them clicks, the rest is here. But believe me, you don’t need to, this portion is enough.

Via Salon:
The future of life on the planet depends on bringing the 500-year rampage of the white man to a halt. For five centuries his ever more destructive weaponry has become far too common. His widespread and better systems of exploiting other humans and nature dominate the globe.
The time for replacing white supremacy with new values is now. And just as some whites played a part in ending slavery, colonialism, Jim Crow segregation, and South African apartheid, there is surely a role whites can play in restraining other whites in this era. Beneath the sound and fury generated by GOP presidential candidates, Fox News, website trolls, police unions and others, white people are becoming aware as never before of past and present racism.
Admittedly, this encouraging development is hardly the dominant view. To the contrary, given the possibility that Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson or one of their ilk might become president, white supremacist ideology seems to be digging in harder than ever.
I don’t take this lightly. Once upon a time I foolishly thought that there was no way that Ronald Reagan could get elected president. Lesson learned. Now is the time to start contingency planning for intensified resistance to mass deportations of immigrants, atrocities against Muslims and extreme danger to African Americans.
How many things are historically wrong with this stupidity? That ‘white men’ in the last 500 years were not operating as a unified group, but individual nations or states. That the past 500 years have brought some of the greatest advantages in freedom for all mankind. That it was people of color who sold other people of color into slavery. That slavery was common across all nations of people of color and still is in many, it is hardly a ‘white sin’, etc.
But in the effort to talk about the evil racism of the white man, how racist can they be in attributing all the evils of the world not on actions of nations or individuals, but on white skin?
