saying something this edgy does not absolve you of bigotry
They’re not particularly valuable posts
If hexbears wanna express their frustrations with racism or white supremacy I think it’s fair to give them a platform to vent, but self-flagellation doesn’t really do anything
They hated him because he spoke the truth
If telling people to stop posting worked, we wouldn’t be here
The grass cannot consent to being touched.
Wake up babe new site tagline just dropped
On a non edgy note, being white but having class consciousness and being anti racist in cracker town USA sucks. The shit white people say to you that they think is acceptable is insane. It’s like the power and privilege just poisons their souls. Whiteness as an institution/class, whatever it is, legit needs to be destroyed.
I agree, it’s incredibly self serving and you’re not fooling anybody
I bet many other POC feel the same as me but I rarely even complain about white people here because I know it’s like 90% white so it’s just an audience that could never empathize with what I’m saying
I bet many other POC feel the same
I don’t, I enjoy making white jokes
I don’t straight up advocate violence though (but I will always upvote a white comrade doing it to themselves, because it’s funny)
most people HERE specifically are probably doing it to signify either that it’s funny, or that they aren’t silently brooding, or to make fun of the lemmy people taking it seriously. It’s more like a “har har” than going doe-eyed and slowly nodding like “yeah no, I know, I know, actually my partner and I decided against having children because white supremacy is…”
ymmv for other groups of people
Personally, I would like to see some of that energy being used for more productive anti-racist actions
But then again, this a website for little goofy people sometimes and that means that people will be little and goofy sometimes
As a poc I hate seeing these jokes because I worry that the poster thinks this is what poc actually want and are “aligning” in some misguided way with us, which just feeds into the “hur hur what if whites were a minority they would be treated just as badly as today’s minorities” nonsense from the chuds
Did that paragraph make any sense I just woke up
this made plenty of sense.
let’s kill the structures of white supremacy so that “white” isn’t really a thing
