Two questions. What the heck is a racist microaggression and why would a white smiling at a black indicate that racism is in progress?
The lunatics have indeed taken over the asylum, or at the very least, Portland College. During their “Whiteness History Month”, the term term “White Guy Smile” was coined.
When did being congenial and smiling at another human become a form of racism? Manners once were taught, even demanded in educational settings, but now, God forbid a white co-ed smile in the direction of a black student! And eye contact? Beware, this too is beyond offensive.
This is another ludicrous example of “white guilt” and indoctrinated college kids must make apologies for the skin color that they did not pick nor had any control over! Thus this “white guy smile” is a result of white guilt and the fear that even a friendly gesture, like a smile, would be deemed as offensive.

Happy friendly people smile so get over it don’t be trying to steal some ones joy just because you have a chip on your shoulder in God we trust in America
Itz called white guilt perpetuated upon them by their best friends as described in Malcolm X’s Coming Home to Roost. Many ithers have stated similar observations even centuries past n to date…it’s still the same.
I guess , this people has a lot of time in their hands, get a life
Let them figure it out Tom Compolo we are obviously not doing a good enough job now. There comes a time in every relationship where sometimes it’s more mature to go separate ways as opposed to causing each other any more pain. They have a good solid idea of what they want it seems, and the rest of us are incapable of providing it. Si like the rest of us usually do, we go try to make it for ourselves. Time to toss them from the nest and see if they can fly. We’ve tried to give them every possible lesson.
Good God people get over it already.$#%&!@*is stupid
This has gone way too far. Anyone who sees a smile as a form of aggression is a stupid$#%&!@*looking for something to be angry about.
But yet there is over 100 of you commenting on this, if you stop it will go away !
Many ppl I serve during the day are black who come from every area of town. Where O used to ignore them..along with any other (white) stranger) I now smile n greet cuz they would more easily remember me then I them as I am one of the very few white ‘girls’ where they go. If I ignore them, I’d be racist or unfriendly…but according to this I’m racist.
Troy*** In simpler terms, there is no way for a white person to appease a black person!
Really?….that’s BS! … you can call anything racist or aggressive. ..azzholes don’t know nothing. …don’t care how you stupid people take it…you are the ones with the problem!…Eff off!
