    all i said is, you’re different from your parents

    You forgot the “bitch” part.

    and i’ve apparently become guilty of thought crimes.

    Don’t worry. You’re not on trial here. Implying that racism has been defeated (and so easily) is what has drawn the negative attention.

    i take an enormous amount of pleasure knowing you have zero power in the real world

    What is this? Are you trying out an insult? Okay. I’ll let you have that one.

        Have you switched positions? Your original comment was in opposition to a quote advising that we exist in the context of what came before us (systemic racism).

        And in context of the comment you seemed to rebuke (with insult) it appeared your position was that of the modern racist who claims racism no longer exists.

        I’m glad to hear you acknowledge the continued existence of the problem of racism. When I transpose your insulting comment to the text you quoted above, it seems congruent with your current line of reasoning. Perhaps your original insulting reply was intended to address that top comment you quoted instead of the Einstein quote your reply was attached to. In which case, this entire exchange is based on a simple clerical error.

        Either way, the insults did not help in deciphering the intent of your comments as they made it seem like you were an asshole looking to insult progressives.
