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.

Okay, but hear me out: what if I'm not one of the good ones?

It makes me cringe really hard but if people think it's funny or whatever it doesn't really hurt anyone.

I guess i don't see it much differently than calling for the genocide of colonizers or xi-plz . Like it's not that deep. It's fun to dunk on people who take anti-whiteness seriously. But i'm sorry it makes you feel uncomfortable and like mayos are trying to absolve themselves of their mayoness. I guess i just see it as white people rejecting white supremacy and punching up at white people who believe in white supremacy or race """science""", which seems harmless to me. But thanks for sharing your point of view.

idk, where else can we say that? Like if we say that anywhere else we're just gonna be shouted at by a bunch of liberals and accused of reverse racism. The charge that it's trying to absolve oneself of their own complicity in the racial hierarchy is a valid one, but it also is a genuine sentiment among white people especially on the left, and even among those apolitical people who have yet to realize that what they mean when they complain about "the man" or "society" is white bourgeois society and values. It's a wholly emotional statement, and obviously "fuck white people" isn't a basis for organizing or political action, but this is a shitposting site at heart and I think it's fine if white people want to vent about their fellow hwhytes every now and again.

(I say this as a white person)

Maybe white people don’t need to say everything that’s on our minds

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

the post that I assume this is referring to had an edgy title, but really it was just complaining about white people on reddit calling for the extermination of homeless people, as is so common on reddit-logo. Seems fine to say fuck white people in response to that.
