In the very near future everything done/said by whites will be considered racist until after passing numerous tests to detect possible nasty, racist acts/words.
Nevertheless, all whites will still be considered racists or possible racists and subject to constant scrutiny in case they revert back to their KKK hood-wearing days.  All whites will be judged to have been Klan members even if they can prove they weren't. Because they can't prove they weren't.
 Of course, non-whites acts/words will be excused because as we all know non-whites cannot be racists i.e. haters.   Because you have to have power to be a racist.
And you know multi billionaire Oprah Winfrey has no power while some white hillbilly struggling to feed his family in the Appalachians has lots of power.

Why doesn't he get a black boyfriend and leave the rest of us alone?  Oh that's right ... he is just scamming for grant money, like his colleagues in the science dept.

I think it's racist that a white guy is talking about racism.

In the very near future everything white people do or have done will be considered racist until proven otherwise. Even then they'll probably be racist. Get ready to try to prove a negative.
This is what our progressive overlords have in store for heretics to the progressive future.

Well thank goodness someone finally pointed this out.  Things like this are exactly what is going to save our society from the ever-tightening spiral downward into chaos.
 

Honestly, I think some of these SJW types have WAY too much time on their hands.
