I'm just learning about Mr. Watson's darker side, here

His wiki page says:

In a BBC documentary that year [2007], Watson said that he did not see himself as a racist.

/smh They never see themselves as racist, but that usually means they are.

And, for anyone thinking "well. I'm not racist..." Remember, you DEFINITELY have some internalized biases. I've got them. I acknowledge them. I try to overcome them. If you aren't, you should too! Also, being antiracist in general.

If someone ever finds themselves in a situation where they feel the need to say that they don't see themselves as a racist...

You see, it's not racism if it's based on ~~real, empirical data~~ a stubborn intuition driven bigotry based on thoroughly debunked science.

If someone says stuff like that you can bet they're extremely racist.

See and I keep telling people I'm racist and people don't believe me despite my words clearly showing I am. I think I confuse people because the ex-wife is Jewish and my girlfriend is African lol

NB. Words are stupid. Actions define a man.
