"There are some things you just can’t Google, because it’s not so much a matter of mere facts or language as it is of context. So here’s some context...
Q: DON’T I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE MAD WHEN SOMEONE ACCUSES ME OF RACISM?
A: Sure. You have the right, but that doesn’t mean it’s productive. More often than not, when a person points out something racist you did, it is in an attempt to help you identify and reject it. Taking it as a condemnation of you as a person is counterproductive. See it instead as a learning opportunity.
TL:DR — Yes. But you could just listen instead."
