his findings
1. white racists (like you “good” whites’ uncles, grandmas, neighbors, and friends) only change their behavior when they are confronted by other whites with more status.
2. when Black people confront the racists attacking us, they just pile on harder because they get a kick out of knowing they’ve gotten to us.
tl;dr – just like Black people have been telling you for decades, it’s up to whites to end racism and you can’t do it by remaining friends with your cousin and grandma who voted Trump because “fuck political correctness”.
This researcher programmed bots to fight racism on Twitter. It worked.
