Yeah it's a platform for racists and friends of racists (also racists).

Meta is even worse.

Even people who were/are on the right are noticing it.

Tom Segura isn't a great guy, but I saw a clip of one of his podcasts where they were talking about Instagram. Any post anyway related to a Black person is just gonna be filled with comments saying the n word.

As fucked up as it is, TikTok appears to be the only big one that's removed hate speech for a while now. It's just become incredibly normalized which is why the wealthy keep gobbling up social media.

They want a race war, a culture war, anything to stop 99% of the population from figuring out the 1% have been fighting a class war for decades.

It's all a distraction to stop people from talking about why billionaires are fucking over everyone else and we're not stopping it.

Bro really wants to steal Truth Social's userbase for more money. He found out that the left is a lot harder to scam.

Anti-black? Is that a substitute for “racist” to avoid censorship?

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

To be fair, it’s far more precise, being a subset of racism, especially given the context of some racist slurs being filtered while others aren’t, depending on the targeted race.

In today’s fucked up world, it wouldn’t surprise me if anti-white and anti-black slurs were filtered but anti-hispanic and anti-asian slurs weren’t, for instance, maybe to drive nationalism regardless of race. I appreciate the additional clarity.

No. There was racism flung both ways. Only when the black person was racist was it censored.

Anti-black

The weirdest thing here to me is that people call twitter an app. Not a site/community/whatever.

Why do people even get offended by cracker lmaooo. That's such a whack front.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 63 points 2 days ago

Being able to disregard being called "cracker" is itself a form of white privilege. As a white guy, I don't have to care if some black person expresses hatred against me because I have power that they do not (e.g. they're not likely to act on their hatred because if the police are called they're likely to take my side, etc.). The implied threat is not credible.

In contrast, black people do not have the freedom to ignore white people calling them the n-word, because historically that has been accompanied by a real risk of attack. The likelihood may have waned over the years, but that implied threat remains credible. (That goes double for the fact that, as casual/mainstream use of the word has fallen out of favor, those still willing to use it are all the more extreme/violent-tempered.)

As another lifelong beneficiary of white privilege, thank you for pointing this out. I never considered this perspective.
