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.

well it's only funny if a white person says it

the comedic value being that they're so impossible that even "their own kind" are sick of them

Sorry if that struck anyone as racist, but white people told me that I'm not physically capable of being racist, and who am I to argue with lord cracker

I don't get the joke.
A white person saying "kill all white people" seems like a cry for help, they're asking to be killed. What's the joke?

They're not being serious, obviously. It's like when people on youtube comments say "please kill me right now" after seeing something really weird

It seems like quite a few on here mean it.
I guess I just don't see the comedy in ironic calls for genocide. Nor any real critique of anything.
