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.

Dale Cannon I know- just trying to better understand their viewpoint. Trouble is, The Root hates white people (wypipo,) as they refer to us- and so do most of their commenters.
We can’t look at them, smile at them, acknowledge them and we’re Racist,, and if we do we are racist.. Let’s give them their on Country in Africa and see if that will make them happy….
Robin probably typed ridiculous and it autocorrected to redundant. Yes, Robin it’s is absolutely garbage.
Knowing that is even more reason

I feel like I’ve awakened in the twilight zone based on a world inspired by Jerry Springer. Not even calgon can take me away.
