How did you guess?
Look you’ve been shot down so many times by so many people, but ‘they’re all wrong and I’m right’ is your take away?
I’m beginning to think troll rather than misguided.
I’ll say it loud so those at the back can hear too:
YOU CAN’T FIGHT RACISM WITH MORE RACISM!
It really is quite simple.
Blocking you seems like the best idea in this thread so far.
Absolutely we all have blind spots, I just think OP’s blind spot is addressing ‘white people’ like none of us live with, and around many cultures, not just races.
If someone were to address my local Polish or Bangladeshi or Muslim or whatever community the same way OP is addressing ‘white people’ in this post I would call it borderline racist and in fact it would fit in OP’s original ‘don’t do’ list.
I appreciate it probably comes from good intentions, but generalizing how entire groups of people should change to suit another group of people is a slippery slope.
No, but the things they are saying, maybe inadvertently, are starting to seem that way.
Swap ‘black’ and ‘white’ in their do not do list. Does it sound racist now?
As you say, all racism isn’t obvious. A quick look at their post history shows 7 or 8 race related posts recently.
Repeatedly stating white people should do or not do specific things.
This seems to me like the definition of racism at it’s roots.
There’s currently only 1 user that I’ve noticed that keeps bringing race up.
To be fair, that is true!
We are each in our own simulated ‘reality’ of whats going on out there.
Perhaps it wold be nice if people could ‘re-calibrate’ their ‘realities’ sometimes?
It’s strange isn’t it? It ‘seems obvious’ but there’s such resistance, and not just from those who benefit from the status quo.
Aww thanks! Love you too!
“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”
Honestly, sometimes yes.
I genuinely can’t understand ‘peoples’ need to hate on each other. All the time.
But I feel like the tin foil hat wearing loony when I share this sentiment with most people.
It’s a disappointing masterpiece!
Grave of the Fireflies. Not the same type of fucked up, but I don’t want to watch it again!
Martyrs was brilliant as well, not just fucked up like a lot in this thread!
“Fuck 'em! Fuck 'em all!”
