Is Facebook Racist?

Iposted an ad on Facebook a couple of months ago that was targeted to Black women. A white woman jumped into my comments to tell me I was racist. It was remarkable and unremarkable at the same time. Reverse racism isn’t a real thing, but she didn’t know that. I am a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) speaker and trainer. My first thought was to educate the woman, and I tried but it was a waste of time. Her goal wasn’t to learn. Our exchange made that clear. There is virtually no education on race and racism in the United States, a country that was built on those very concepts. We need that education desperately. Our very survival as a nation is at risk.Iposted an ad on Facebook a couple of months ago that was targeted to Black women. A white woman jumped into my comments to tell me I was racist.
