hot take, feel free to dunk but holy shit, all the posts from white people being like "let's kill all the white people" is insufferable "i'm one of the good ones!" nonsense and it really should stop (hexbear.net)

saying something this edgy does not absolve you of bigotry

edit: for anyone stumbling into the drama, i probably should have elaborated on this post. I am not saying you can't make fun of white people not being able to eat spicy food or anything, but at some point it becomes self-flagellating. to quote comrade RedQuestionAsker:

It's good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It's certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.

It's another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It's not revolutionary, and it's probably not good for you.

that is all. comrades just know i dont hate any of you. i'm not trying to start a slapfight. i just saw this as weird performative behavior and wanted to call it out.

Libs from other instances waltz in and report the "I hate white people" post for being racist, gets summoned into the comments and getting dunked on even further.

Hilarious. goading racist white people into being banned and dunked on is good to me, and it's why i make "kill all whitey" posts or whatever. It is definitely not to win brownie points from POC members. I'm just a shit stirrer and hate racists, and it's quite easy to troll them by just using the same language they use to be racist against the people in power instead. Suddenly they have a problem with language like that if it's used to punch up instead of down.

IMO in a white supremacist culture you can't even be racist to white people. Baised against maybe, but you can't actually be structurally racist.
