A University of Florida student won an academic honor after he argued in a school paper that the Constitution applies only to white people. The student also made statements against Jews.

The granting of the award set off months of turmoil on the law school campus.

Trade offs, I suppose. I don't think people should be beholden to what there ancestors did. You can't change the past but you can make the future. Let's be good ancestors.

Being white doesn't make you racist.

I didn't say that. But this man is proud of all the genocide and human rights infringements. That's like a 9.5/10 on the racism scale. There's standing by and doing nothing, as much of America (and the world) does. There's trying to fight for equality. Then there's making a conscious decision to fight for your group to be on the top. That last one is fucked up in every fight it's involved in. The KKK, the NOI, JK Rowling, Neo-Nazis, the Heritage Foundation. Tgis guy went out of his way to purposefully try and hurt others, seemingly without remorse. It's not being white that's racist. It's all the racism he's actively doing.
