Message for progressive woke white women from Michael Smith

Michael Smith, an oppressive, heteronormative, patriarchal male who lives in Utah has a message for "woke" white women.
"Dear Super-Woke Supercilious Progressive White Yentas, Here's Your New Year's Resolution(s):
1. Stop Treating Racial Minorities As Your Pets. 
Stop inducing them to do stupid pet tricks so you can use them to advance your progressive agenda. Progressives do more to dehumanize racial minorities than any other group. You aren't a member of a racial pet rescue group.
2. Stop Your Oppressive Helicopter Progressive Parenting Of POC's (People of Color).

You aren't their mommies and daddies. Minorities can speak for themselves, they don't need your smug asses stepping in to speak for them. Adopting a black orphan baby from the Sudan may be trendy - but it doesn't imbue you with a right to tell every other black person how to live, nor does it insulate you from criticism when you do. Every time you "woke" morons speak for a minority, you are minimizing them - treating them like a child who isn't old enough, smart enough or mature enough to speak for themselves. Stop it with your condescending patriarchy/matriarchy. Just. Stop.
3. Don't Make Every Situation The Combined Equivalent of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, The Great Flood And Whole Foods Running Out Of Organic, Free Range, Non-GMO, Locally Sourced Kale.
Stop treating every comment or action as if it was the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. Stop seeing everything - and I mean everything - through the lens of race. News flash, not everything is about race. Sometimes people (of color OR pallor) are just assholes - but that doesn't make all people of color or pallor assholes. I don't expect praise for common decency any more than I expect a nuclear holocaust if I use the wrong pronoun. Get. Over. Your. Self.
Respectfully submitted (without the permission of my wife)."
