After her take down of the BET awards for what she described as anenshrinement of black victimhood and racism, Tomi Lahren caught significant flak. But shes not backing down.

Here it goes again, I call out a race bait and Im black Twitter public enemy No. 1. Oh,bring it on, Lahren began. Half-white Jesse Williams stands up at the BET awards and bashes white people for being white and Im the racist? OK, sure. If hes half white is he half racist?

Im not pressed or angry black people gettin woke, Im all for it, Lahren said, quoting some of her dissenters. But youre telling me it takes a stupid BET award speech or a Super Bowl performance by entertainers to empower you? And what exactly are you getting woke to do? Thats what I dont get.

Lahren went on to claim she understands some racism does exist, but believes it will not resolve itself so long as our leaders continue to exploit the divide for their advantage.

Listen, I know racism exists and its not going to stop when our leaders keep exploiting the divide, she said. Some in the black entertainment community, like Jesse Williams, believe the only way to empower is to pit black Americans against white Americans in some kind of a dominance battle, a melanin showdown. I dont want any part of that.

I talk about race and race baiting because, quite frankly, most white people are afraid to. They dont want to say something wrong and offend anyone, or heaven forbid be labeled a racist. I dont play that game.

Lahren saidshe believes black Americans are just as proud and capable as everyone else, but added that gold stars or special treatment for the color of your skin is ultimately insulting.

I dont think black Americans are weak, I dont think youre victims. I think youre strong proud and free Americans, just like the rest of the people in this country, she said. I dont think you need special treatment or gold stars for your existence. Thats insulting to you as individuals.
