I gotta log off so my response was half-baked. Here’s the link if you wanna dunk: https://hexbear.net/comment/3876915
I am white so I hereby officially give every hexbear user permission to use the words cracker, mayo and gammon, as well as to say anything you want about white people. If questioned about it please refer them back to this post where I am officially giving you the mayo-pass.
There is earnestly no such thing as racism against whites
White people really do think that racism is just interpersonal dislike of other cultures and not some giant labyrinth of exploitation and colonialism. Every time it comes up shit just blows my mind.
@DoiDoi It’s exactly how it was taught to them. “Thinking other races aren’t as good as yours,” legitimizing both race & false equivalency in a breath, was explicitly taught in every formal setting basically through college for me. Often no countermessaging until teens or later, though I hope (& think the right wing panic about perhaps credits) the internet offers some hope that they’ll get more stories than the “official” status-quo-serving properly-racist one at younger ages.
Racism was invented by Trotsky to silence white people from being racist.
hexbear called me a KKKracker and it made me scream and fucking scream
