Why the "get over it" argument is wrong

Whites are notorious for responding to an act of racism committed by a white person by saying "get over it".

The reason this is wrong is because not only does it excuse the racist act but it also is bascially saying "I don't want to deal with racism, you need to accept the racism directed at you and learn to love it, cause its not my problem and I don't want it to be".

We blacks can't just "get over it", not when racism has been such a major part of our lives. You may want us to accept the grim reality, but we don't. Its easy to dismiss what doesn't affect you.

By saying we should "get over it", you are saying we should be content with not getting hired becuase of our skin tone, for being singled out because of our skin tone.

Would you want someone to do the same to you?

Only an ignorant racist would say "get over it", instead of telling blacks to learn to be happy with racism, why not just admit that you don't care one bit about racism directed at someone not of your race. Stop copping out with the "get over it" line.
