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.
Whites have a racism gene and lobe, if they dont do at least 20 racisms they explode. So they need to do a racisms against themselves, truly sad
I think it's more like it's uncomfortable to just sit there and digest that you're part of the Bad People, and say nothing about it, and then also say nothing about it when other people affirm that you're part of the Bad People, so you sort of have to just passively sit there if you don't join in on hating the Bad People as well (which is why people do it). I theorize white-on-white racism is a coping mechanism developed to prevent awareness of systemic racism from developing into a form of genuine self-hatred due to awareness of one's own complicity in it. While normally the obvious solution would just be to stop being complicit in it, people are not very rational beings and might perceive themselves as still being complicit even when they actively aren't, leading to continued usage of the "Death to All Crackers" shibboleth as a kind of OCD ritual to affirm oneself of their own purity in front of Communist God (ironically, an urge probably primarily spread and codified by white people). I do not mean this in a pop culture sense of OCD, I mean in the genuine sense of it being fuelled by a pure-O compulsion loop.
