You know, you keep saying this, but until you directly attacked my character, I was completely unmoved by your comment. I didn't give a shit about you and was just lightly disagreeing with you in my original comment. Maybe you should go back and re-read this full comment chain because I literally have zero fucking clue where you're getting this idea from. I'd like to see you point out, with the full context, where I acted defensive before you actually attacked me personally.
Correct.
Did I say that? Are you actually obtuse or did you just miss the bit where I said this:
Anyway, maybe you should stop calling me racist just because I'm white. That is, quite literally, racist.
Again, I do not give a shit about my skin color. I REPEAT, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT BEING WHITE. I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU THINK I DO. Seriously, for the love of god, pull your dick out of your mouth and take a deep breath. I think the lack of oxygen going to your brain is getting to you. And then maybe you can actually try listening to me. The thing that I took as an attack was you heavily implying that I'm racist. You know, an attack. Go ahead though, keep ignoring me when I tell you this. That dick ain't gonna suck itself.
Which part of...
...are you having a hard time understanding? White supremacism has nothing to do with your character, genius.
We literally have a term for this, you know... it's called having a reactionary fit. And yours is going no different than all the others I've witnessed over the years. I've witnessed it so many times that I do believe it's unavoidable.
Why? Why is it such a terrible thing to admit that white supremacism is bigger than you and your personal feels about it? Why is it so difficult to admit that literally growing up in a fundamentally white supremacist society has, by design, not equipped you to view the world through a lens that isn't white supremacist?
"Do better" at what? Being a "good white?" There's no such thing... there is just white. Caucasity. It all flows from the same place - the whole point of white is white supremacism. It serves absolutely no purpose otherwise.
And how are you "doing better" when you get all reactionary when somene asks you to explain why you even have all this privilege in the first place? It's almost as if you don't really want to know... perhaps because the whole reason you have it is actually closely linked to the very reason the Rittenhouses of this world act the way they do?
Appealing to "reverse racism" is not going to work for you here - that only works on liberals.
Then prove it. Detach yourself from whiteness long enough so that you can actually observe what it is we are talking about from the outside. You know... the exact opposite from what you've been doing up until now?
