Hello All,
On a episode (88) of the Coffee Convos Podcast dated July 18, 2019 Kailyn Lowry stated that while she believes racism exists she doesn’t believe it should be combated with “reverse racism.” Lindsie Chrisley also commented that she doesn’t have a “bi-racial child.” Though Lindsey does have a bi-racial niece who her father, Todd Chrisley recently defended online due to a racist comment pertaining to inter-racial marriage and bi-racial children.
“Reverse racism” is the conservative belief that the very programs set in place to protect ethnic people from being discriminated against are a form of “anti-white racism.” People who believe this concept assume that the social and economic progress of ethnic people threaten the advancement of Whites in America.
There is no real evidence to prove this notion as ethnics do not have the power to threaten the interests of Whites. However, where progress has been made in diminishing White Supremacy the belief is prevalent.
Those who believe in “reverse racism” feel threatened by the growth of specifically Blacks. It is, in fact, a White Supremacist belief.
Kailyn Lowry believes that the very programs (affirmative action and various other color conscious programs) that will protect her bi-racial children and their fathers from being discriminated against are a threat to her White advancement.
So while Kailyn believes there is racial inequality she is against the programs that aim to reduce it.
This is alarming for many reasons.
Kailyn graduated from a historically Black College! (University of Delaware)
Witnessing the blatant racism and racial profiling of ethnic men in the United States how can Kailyn be against the very programs her son’s and their fathers can benefit from; programs that can protect their interests, that can help to prevent them from being discriminated against.
Once again and as per usual Kailyn is using her platform to spread popular beliefs among racists.
While Kailyn and Lindsie have stated they aren’t “racist”....it is understood now more than ever that one needs to be anti-racist to truly not be racist. You cannot hold White Supremacy beliefs and indifferently state “I’m not a racist.” .....Especially while having ethnic family members who can quite possible be negatively affected by racism and discrimination.
Coffee Convos podcast is a platform that has been used to push a racist ideal. One time is too many...
