Leftist Minstrel Show: Self-abasing protestors mostly white, and blacks are starting to laugh

Monica Showalter   "Anti-racism protests, which form the backdrop of the violence, desecration and looting going on around the U.S., are starting to look just a little bit strange to some black people." . . .
Referring to actions such as "changing names, toppling statues, [and] firing professors because they said all lives matter," Johnson explained that "it just shows to me that white America is continually ... incapable of recognizing that black people have their own ideas and thought about what's in their best interests."He suggested that black people should be consulted before people take actions like tearing down statues or firing someone for a comment they have made."Give us the belief that you respect our opinion. You go out and do something and destroy something, fire somebody because you think it hurts us. Why don't you ask us first if it hurts us before you go and say 'Oh, I gotta do something for the negroes to make them feel better.' Well ask us if we want you to do that to make us feel better," he said.

. . . "Call it a minstrel show of whites, designed to win redemption from blacks, but in reality, ending up entertaining blacks, or at least making them laugh. 
"He points out that it's actually its own form of racism." . . .
What does "racism" even mean anymore?

Dear White People Parodies Hollywood's 'I Take Responsibility' Video With a Pitch-Perfect Clapback  
..."The original PSA showed a bunch of white celebrities including Sarah Paulson, Debra Messing, and Aaron Paul making somber platitudes to do...something about racism that's not entirely clear and  was swiftly mocked online for being cringey and melodramatic. "...
The white students of Winchester also want to take responsibility. We tried to stop them. #DearUsPeople
