I fucking hate white people
(hexbear.net)
Group of black teens attacks a guy. Minor injuries. What's the reddit thread filled with?
"carry a gun" "cops on every corner" "animals"
what gets downvoted? me mentioning generational poverty.
death to the whites.
Edit: came back, didn't think this would blow up the way it did, but it has been hilarious how many bad takes are from people with an @ in their username. This hilarity is why i love HexBear.
I guess thanks for this, everyone else seems to be funny about it but I honestly don't understand this place, maybe I'm too new to it and am missing alot of context.
Still don't understand the rudeness in all of this tho, but then again maybe I shouldn't discuss anything if I don't understand the context I guess.
It is funny to see all the pigshit on balls. Not the most impressive insult, if it even is one, but made me chuckle.
I think honestly many of the people who are throwing the insults the most are just feeling white guilt. They're compensating for the privilege they feel. In my opinion, it's not useful to be like that and is ironically pretty "white." My opinion.
I think there is a place for it especially for people who aren't white and are under the boot of the white, colonial, capitalist system but I dont think using it as the main tool of expressing your anti-colonial and anti-racist sentiment is a good idea.
I think it's fine to ask questions, just don't respond to hostility with hostility and try to be the bigger person when someone wants to argue.
The rudeness is a knee jerk reaction to the type of people we get coming here with bad intentions.
Pigpoopballs is an old meme that we've beaten to death, I'm glad you got something out of it. The old chapo subreddit got a trump guy to post his dick once which is funny.
I think mayocide and self hating whiteness are a very small overall part of hexbear posting. it’s inevitable to see more of it in a thread like this when people from across the lemmyverse are gut reacting to some real tepid “death to white people” shit posting and trying to report it like they’re on Reddit where the Admins will just coup any mod who doesn’t capitulate to their “rules based order”.
And the rudeness honestly has some real world utility here. We aren’t like and don’t aspire to be like Reddit where horrible evil can be defended and advocated for as long as you strike the right respectful tone, and if we can sus out and turn away people who value tone above material reality that’s useful. It isn’t the conscious reason for the way we are but it does play a small role.
I dont try to silence anyone for that reason but I do bring the sentiment up just for ones own awareness up.
I don't have white guilt I hate the concept of whiteness. I don't like being perceived as white and all the privilege that comes with it but I don't feel guilty about it. I didn't choose to be "white".
I think it's important. I have come to a conclusion that is internally consistent to me and not self loathing. Like the patriarchy, I can hate the power structure even if it benefits me without hating who I am.
Thanks,
Trying not to be hostile... Although obviously people who get a rise out of it do try hard, to make someone react that way...
Lemmy is a confusing place sometimes.
Consider the position of hexbear as a openly gay and socialist and why people make act that way
You're welcome here to hang out as long as you're not trying to disrupt anyones peace, theres not a lot of spaces for some of our most vulnerable users
Take a break, read this, fix the space at the end of your username "luminocta_@lemm.ee", come back again.
Stfu cracker you don’t deserve to live
ppb isn't an insult, it's more "bad take" than "you suck". it does mean you're going to get insults if you keep going down that path, though. redirecting - like you've done - will change the kind of responses you get. "post hog" is the actual insult and it means you've left the plane of human compassion.
