John Boyega tweets “I hate racists.” Kumail Nanjiani tweets “Fuck white supremacy.” Both sentiments, which should not be controversial, receive overwhelming backlash.

The same people claiming we’re “post-racial” and “dOn’T sEe CoLoR” are upset when anyone declares racism is bad.

Racism is bad. White supremacy is bad. They are part of the greatest evils that humankind has to reckon with. This should not be controversial. It is bad to hate. It is bad to oppress. It is bad to subjugate. All of it is BAD. And what’s more it wrong.

If you look in the mirror and are upset by what you see, don’t blame the mirror or the person holding it.
