I lived in the south for a little while and the way other white people just assume you're totally cool with racism is nuts. I was getting something out of a cabinet with a heavy glass sliding door for a customer at work once, and the door rattled loudly when I closed it. The guy and his friend were like "Don't be so loud, you'll scare the monkeys!" referring to the Vietnamese restaurant on the other side of the wall. Like, what the gently caress?

Yeah, it's amazing how many white people will drop some rascist-rear end poo poo when they think no one who would reject is around.

But a friend of 15 years, who assuming had otherwise dropped no other hints... that's a trip.

there was my college roommate's mom, an elementary school teacher in Orange County, telling me about her objections to the brown kids. (did she say brown? I don't remember, that guy was a tool anyway)

and there was the old hippy running the bead shop in a high-end north bay suburb complaining about how the Mexicans ruined my hometown, some hours away in the valley

I had the same experience, but while in Boston. It's not like the Midwest isn't chock full of both individual and systemic racism, but the sheer number of times someone would turn to me as a total stranger and say something horrific was just nuts.

i think gettin buttoned up with a racist in a taxi or something is a common experience for white people. for every person that is uncomfortable with it, i wonder how many people respond positively and then you just have 15 minutes of them workshopping racist jokes.

A normal-sized guy can still suckerpunch you or smash a bottle over your head, then I imagine you'll change your tune most ricky-tick.

Nobody's saying don't stand up to skinheads, but I think the idea that "they're all pussies" isn't exactly accurate. Their ideology is violence, it goes without saying that a good portion of them won't shy away from expressing that.

I can tell you that skinheads where I'm from used to be a big presence who would rove around doing violence wherever they pleased. You don't see them that much anymore but I still wouldn't bank on a dyed-in-the-wool skin backing down unless outnumbered. Unfortunately there's really no way to prove this one way or the other, it's all anecdotal. I guess we could gather some data by going out and fighting skinheads though.

Best way to take on a skinhead is to sucker punch them from behind while screaming like an angry gorilla. If they fall over start stomping and then run away before their friends jump in, if they don't fall over keep swinging until their friends jump in and then hope your guys back you up and you don't get stabbed.

Generally speaking you should always hit someone when they can't see you coming and be ready to run for it if it looks like you're going to get your rear end beat. Getting stomped sucks.

you gotta be like the communist party's lawyer in the movie network where he shows up to the meeting with the T.V. studio, and he's this old labor lawyer guy with an appalachian accent and a mustache and smoking a pipe who's like "when a national television network comes to me... and says they want to put the ongoing struggle of the oppressed masses on primetime television, i have to regard this askance!"

Whenever I see a post like that, I wonder about sympathy for the nazi’s victims. If this stunt had gone the way he wanted, he would have opened innocent people, including kids, up to violence. When a nazi dies, I mostly think about how many people are now safe from them.

In this case, I think about the traumatised train engineer.

the SHARPs i've seen around dallas tend to be working-class white guys who work manual labor jobs so the majority of their coworkers are black and judging by the size of some of these motherfuckers the local neo-nazi clown car guys would get absolutely wrecked if they crossed paths. it's not like the 1980s.

me, at a bar, see a dude who looks like the social distortion guy (big dude in his 30s... just... like... very meaty... lots of meat on his bones) with the sideburns and one of those... it's like a sailor's cap? skinheads and ska punks wear them. and there's a crossed out swastika button on the cap. go "hey, i like your button." and he's like, oh yeah. and i mention i'd seen some guys wearing SHARP patches around.

he says, well i never considered myself a skinhead, but... *takes off cap*

and he's bald, but like, he went bald. and then he winked at me. and then goes "but boots and braces don't make a racist" then gave me a friendly jab. which felt like a solid punch because this dude was pretty big. swell guy.

We were always very similar in our political beliefs. Other than the one time he got mad about Greta Thunberg (sp?), he never showed any outward signs that he had repugnant beliefs. Hell, in 2012 when Obama won a second term, his wife laid in his yard and cried and he actually backed me up in roasting her about it. Something something the duality of man.
