My friend of 25 years has a 20 year old daughter who posted how she never felt unsafe around a black person or gay person, but has around white men. My husband pointed our that the post is racist. She got all offended that my husband called her a racist and all hell has broken loose. They have all unfriended my husband. They are very left, we are very right leaning. I defended that my husband is struggling with all the anti white male sentiment, but no...you can't be racist against white people. The daughter did nothing wrong, is trying to find her voice. I am devastated that this friendship is crumbling, but I'm going to stand up for my husband. Anyone dealt with this?

They all want to pretend like white males are out there just beating people down for fun. They put this kind of crap online so other people see it and give them likes.
Then when they get in an elevator and a ganster looking black guy gets on - they clutch their purse tighter.
This kind of crap is mostly performative and they have been trained to think its acceptable for them to hate the evil group everyone is supposed to vilify. I doubt the friendship is worth much if they cannot even examine how their racist statements impact other people.
