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

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.
You're viewing a single thread.
For what it's worth, I'm part of a communist org that's about 1/3 POC, and nobody in our group says this kind of stuff and we'd probably find it extremely weird and off-putting if someone did.
100%. i just always find it really cringy that people are this self-hating and edgy
i want people to acknowledge that you can get people who do not have white cracker skin who are very white and have internalized whiteness. I was just somewhere where there were a lot of POC but there was a lot of whiteness to be found
