A 67-year-old white woman recently lashed out at the vocal
white supremacy movement in America for proving they are “profound
losers” by aligning with the Confederacy and Nazi Germany.
In an op-ed published by The Salt Lake Tribune
last week, someone who described herself as a “67-year-old American
white woman” takes on what appears to be a growing strain of racism in
the U.S.
“What is wrong with you?” she asks. “People of European
heritage are doing just fine in the world. They run most of the world’s
institutions, hold much of the world’s wealth, replicate as frequently
as other humans. You’re not in any danger here.”
The writer acknowledges that “the world is changing,” but she asserts that it is not an excuse for racist behavior.
“Going forward, tackling corporate control and climate
change will need all of our attention, ideas and energy,” the woman
notes. “Put down your Tiki torches and trite flags and get involved in
some real work.”
