Examples Of Average Racism
Average Racism post
I too, have never heard the term “average racist”. I believe it is a term to remove accountability. Average is “in between”; it is the mean, not swaying one way or the other. So average is therefore neutral. Neutrality does not excuse responsibility. Bystanders have a responsibility to intervene . “Staying out of” an issue where this is injustice, is taking a side; it is giving legitimacy to the perpetrators. That is a simplified statement in reference to a very complicated time. I am still divided , as usual on Poe's view on slavery. On one hand he hardly ever wrote anything definitive one way or the other related to slavery. This was a man, in all circumstances literary, who was very bold in pronouncing his thought
