For the white people who still don’t get it:

Look, if you see a post where someone is questioning why white people do racist shit and the only damn thing you can think to say is “but I’m not like that”, you’re part of the god damn problem. Why? Because you have just successfully derailed the conversation and made it all about you and your feelings. By saying “but I’m not like that” and declaring how “hurt” your feelings are, you’re signifying that your feelings are more important than the whole race of people who are hurt and degraded by white people who choose to do racist ass shit. Instead of saying “do I do that” or “hey, maybe I should take this as a warning not to do that”, you chose to launch into a diatribe about how hurt you are and how that completely invalidates the original post. That is fucked up and it makes you part of the problem.
