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.

    I am also sorry. Usually your posts are good. I'll be waiting for your next one, assuming this is the low bar.

      ...thanks? i don't get how this is the low bar. this is something that i found weird and performative and i was trying to bring up a discussion about it to hopefully make things better on this site.

        Well, your title didnt seem to be fostering debate. I didn't find your words inside much better, it seemed more like you were inciting a struggle session or something hurtful.

        I tossed my comment in cuz you said 'feel free to dunk'

        But i just skimmed thru some of the comments your post did foster and i guess it's just me that thought that way. so i take it back. Take it easy.
