Wow, what a load. We have to assume that Dr. Rivers is a human, as opposed to an AI bot, as no bot would publish such a display of weird analogies, cliches, and false comparisons to prove a ridiculous point. We've got fish out of water, cancer and alcoholism, glass houses, Spaceship Earth, rising tides lifting boats, ancient mariner sayings. All playing off of each other in ways that make you want to say "huh"?
Marley K. says all White people are racist. Dr. Rivers expands that to include all humans. Which makes her racist, no?
Sorry, Dr. Rivers, but Marley K. and Catherine Pugh have already made your points. They, too, like to pepper their diatribes with clever phrases, word games, and an entirely new made-up lexicon designed to make White (Caucasian) people feel guilty. But they did it first.
