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.

Yeah lemmy really needs a hide post feature like reddit-logo has. Sometimes you just get tired of seeing the same posts for days straight.

Thanks for articulating this. I've had the same reaction but I avoid engaging because I have this unhealthy mental thing where I (often, not always) actually get upset if online people yell at me.

I feel like I'm going crazy any time Americans talk about race.

This is the first ever post you’ve made about race/racism and it’s whining about poc hurting white peoples feelings. Boo fucking hoo.
