If you’ve never heard of Josh Fox … don’t feel bad. You’re not missing much. His main claim to fame is making “Gasland,” a dubious anti-fracking documentary, and ginning up panic about climate change.
But as he demonstrated recently, he’s not just an expert when it comes to matters of science. He’s also got this whole racism thing figured out … and you’ll be shocked to find that this take is just as brilliant as all of his other ones:
Dear white people- let’s get this straight. You can’t be victims of racism. Racism means that the whole culture, society, economy and much of what is considered law is against you because of your race. All of those things support white people. So stop claiming it, ever. Period.

And don’t you dare try and tell him otherwise. If you do, prepare to be LIKE-shamed:

Bless his heart.
How do you have 58K “followers” and your posts don’t even get triple digit likes? Loser.

Dear JoshFox, let's get this straight. YOU don't have a clue who may or may not be victims of racism. There're people of ALL colors that DON'T experience racism where they live. There are people of ALL colors that DO. ANY color of person can be a minority, and victimized. Period.
