38. I just never understood why they think racism is advantageous.

I Know. I sound stupid. But it’s always been so stupid. Why would anyone think there is an advantage to white supremacy when there are so many obviously stupid white people? Why do they want to be in league with such morons? I’m white and I know a whole lot of white people that are dumb as a bucket of rocks. I know stupidity can come in all colors, so where is the advantage to choosing white supremacy over some other color or ANY color? It’s never made sense to me.
