The reality is the civil rights movement is both about increasing the social power of non-white citizens AND decreasing the social power of white citizens.
The former is what usually feels okay for white citizens, but the latter tends to be what white folks call “reverse racism”. It doesn’t feel great losing the social power tied to your caste, but it’s necessary to create an equal opportunity society.
Reverse racism?
I can’t believe there are idiots still using this word like it means anything other than calling attention to how stupid you are
“Racism is ok but reverse racism whoa nelly hold your horses”.
