Remember: you know better than another person whether that person is racist or not!

"I am not racist" -racists

"Why are you calling me racist for no reason?" -fragile white racists

"I'm only telling you I have black friends specifically because you just called me a racist." -mega racist

give me an example of a time you were unjustly called a racist. i've never had that problem so im honestly curious

Uh ok one time I said a lot of palestinians have shockingly intolerant attitudes toward gays and religious minorities. And pretty much instantly was accused of "virulent anti-palestinian racism". Because... I honestly don't know. I can't parse how that is racist, I just can't.

The extra black and latino voters that helped sweep Obama into office, helped ensure those coastal counties pretty heavily went "yes on 8."

Wait but i thought only white people can hate gays? Or like, it only matters when white people hate gays, or something.

You see; power structures.

Yeah holding people of color to a higher standard than white people on minority issues is like Racism in the USA 101.

edit: or like one of those classes that starts with a 0. 001.

lol no, its holding them to the same standard.

Reserving a special, more pristine moral standard only for white people and modifying your principles when the skin color changes is being a racist progressive in the USA 101

And no, I'm not saying it's racist towards whites to hold them to a higher standard; it's racist toward non-whites.

I'm a racist ethnic minority ama

how do you feel about nobody giving a poo poo when you are super racist because you're oppressed also? as if they are holding you to a lower moral standard due to your race, thus robbing you of any agency to make your own moral choices?

It is very important that when a black person says "I loving want to kill all whites" that we call it "racial prejudice" instead of "racism" because nuance and power structures. This will move us forward swiftly.

I already expect all white people to consider me as subhuman or something to exploit for their benefit so the behavior of rich urban white liberals doesn't really surprise me any more than the poor rural ones

I feel like I can respect the poor rural ones a little more, at least they aren't pretending to be your friend.

If anyone brings up the real, persistent effects of structural racism we should playfully act like all racism is equally deleterious to the human condition.

lol, i did not say that at all. i said that when somebody is super racist to a white person its still racism

and sure, feel free to tell me what people or laws or institutions are still racist, specifically. dont just say the prison system.

So what? White people run poo poo. That's a fact. It's not as good as it used to be but it's still pretty good.


You are actively hostile to the idea so that doesn't sound like a very fun conversation for me.

No not really, I just think that you, like most people, can't actually name any specific examples of ongoing institutional racism when you bring it up as an issue. Then it pivots to the "ongoing effects" of past institutional racism, which literally nobody denies is a problem, but still no specific examples emerge.

And no, white people do not run poo poo. In many majority white nations they do, unsurprisingly, yes, but you're kind of making GBS threads all over minorities who *have* achieved a lot by saying that white people "run poo poo". You're kind of being a white supremacist from the other direction, so to speak.
