saying something this edgy does not absolve you of bigotry

    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

      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

      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)
