Shutout to all the white people on the site. All the hate your have received is being countered in exact equal opposite by the mass of love I'm sending you via these words and DMs once I work up the..
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.
The only thing better than the self-loathing cracker posting is the imminent threads by Posters of Color being absolutely weirded out by the self-flagellation of the self-loathing cracker posting. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Happens everytime.
Hahaha fuck you! By the virtue of being Polish I'm the Schrodinger's White™! I'm white or not white depending on the mood fascists have! So most probably both at the same time! :sicko-yes:
I feel we need a PSA on how white is a constructed term to reinforce white supremacy (a common tool of imperialism and capital) and is in itself a horrid way to group people (as it is also employed to destroy cultures of people as they are subsumed into the "white" category) but also that white is a self embraced title by many in America as a way to get into the in group and avoid out group status even on a subconscious level as well as reinforced in many American cultural aspects.
This comes from a mayo that really fucking hates the term white and would rather be refereed to as anything else.
I am old enough to remember Jerry Springer. He would always have these bizarre shows of the most outrageous guests, usually getting into a physical altercation at some point. But the funniest thing about the show was at the end, after the final commercial segment, Springer would have this segment called “Final Thought”, where he would look straight into the camera and attempt to say something insightful via monologue, like “we all might like to have a laugh at the adult who wears diapers for sexual satisfaction, but how would you feel if someone was laughing at you”. Just the most inane, smooth-brained, basic-ass thoughts.
We need something like that so we can end some of these multi-post struggle sessions. Maybe we can train some deepfake AI to make our own Jerry Springer “Final Thought” videos. Feed the posts into the AI and have fake AI Jerry Springer say something that attempts to bring everyone together, and we just leave it at that.
No, I am half Irish and half German descent. I spent my first 32 years in Minnesota and I plan to spend 32 years in New York in which I will perish. My headstone will read, 'Here lies @FactuallyUnscrupulou@hexbear.net, an Irish German Minnesotan New Yorker.' If you call me white you will be haunted by a poltergeist that smells like stale cigarettes and rumplemintz.
It's about character, not race, like MLK Jr. said... just don't do any reactionary wacky-west shit to my ass that you were indoctrinated with... and all's fine...
One of Paulo Friere's theses is that to the oppressor, moves toward equality feel like oppression.
While it is always good to be ruthlessly critical of everything, rather than just merely being "white people making it about them," or self-hating whiteness (a reactionary trope in virtually every other context) or even just toxic and cringe, when you have a large group of whites saying, "yes I deserve it, violently oppress me based on my skin color," assuming it isn't some awful kink, it really could be an authentic way for white people to say that we truly desire equality.
We need to stand against hate, and frankly racism is divisive. I also stand with my white comrades, and to combat the rise in anti-white hatred, I will psychically transmit messages of positivity their way. I have high visuospatial prowess, and remote sensing intuition, so I will envision large bowls of ranch dip, sweet pineapple "chutney", and Friends reruns--it was indeed a copy of Living Single, but it had a charm all its own.
And lest you call this mental exercise lazy, I will also get real "vanilla" with it in my physical life. In honor of this ordeal, I will be wearing my shoes inside all day tomorrow--yes even on my bed.
My relationship with my parents is normally great, but I can afford to yell at them for not allowing me to go to that rock concert when I was 18--not that I ever wanted to go, or that they ever explicitly disallowed me, but it's the principle that counts.
I could also go for my La Mian noodles slathered in a bit of mayonnaise. I find that it gives it a very gloppy, greaselike texture (in a good way of course!) It really is a vibrant culture!
I'm sorry but several people have dedicated their lives to my death this week, so your DM might be reaching a corpse. Soon I will be the spectre haunting Hexbear.
