Not to toot my own horn, but I think it's time to bust out this quote again:
White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it.
Real talk, I hope that wherever AALewis is, he's doing well. Yeah, his infamous quote was extremely cringe, but he was 14 at the time, and 14 year olds can have a little cringe as a treat.
If y'all knew the kind of shit I was saying at 14 I'd be not only banned, I'd be first in the pit. That's probably true for many of us here. Kids grow and change fast if given the opportunity to
I did not know this! 14 year olds are super cringe it's the thing they're best known for. I defy anyone to look at their 14 year old self and not think "cringe tryhard"
This so perfectly encapsulates what I have seen/felt since the terrorist pager attacks. Like, I always knew white folks were pretty racist towards Arab peoples. But man, the last month or so has really shone a light on it. The black hole analogy is spot on. There’s so much obvious racism and hatred in comments like “well sure a bunch of innocent hospital workers lost their hands/eyes but they deserved it for helping TERRORISTS!” type stuff. But the single greatest offense you can commit towards a white person is to accuse them of racism - even if it’s not conscious. So we all have to go along with their fiction that it’s not about racism but about FIGHTING TERRORISM.

You know what's stupidly hypocritical about yanks?
They demand others see them with the nuance that they never give.
All Muslims and Arabs are terrorists with a backwards culture!
All Chinese are hive minded and worry about "face" and honor.
All Russians are drunk barbarians who want to destroy the west.
But God forbid you call all americans racist, violent, stupid, and arrogant. Each yank will insist it's just a few of them and that not all of them are the loathsome white supremacists that everyone can see. If you bring up the genocides they've committed and the fact that trump really is the face of the nation, then they'll cry up and down about how that's not true and that trump is just a temporary thing!
Nothing is genuine with those people. Everyone of them is a hypocrite.
The irony isn't just lost, it never existed for them. It's so pathetic that I actually wish euros were doing more to denigrate Americans online. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

It's a good quote, I'd call it repeating yourself instead of a quote tho. Quoting yourself is kinda like giving yourself a nickname.e

And then in the next breath those yanks will casually talk of nuking X middle eastern country or some other place they don't like.

It's a baller line that explains many things with few words.
Thank you
