Group of black teens attacks a guy. Minor injuries. What's the reddit thread filled with?

"carry a gun" "cops on every corner" "animals"

what gets downvoted? me mentioning generational poverty.

death to the whites.

Edit: came back, didn't think this would blow up the way it did, but it has been hilarious how many bad takes are from people with an @ in their username. This hilarity is why i love HexBear.

        White supremacy and imperialism are unsustainable, humanity is not. We are totally able to live on this earth sustainably as a species and have done so just fine. Capitalism is unsustainable, but it has nothing to do with humanity as a whole.

        Your comment is pretty (eco)fashy tbh.

          This comment is not just for you, I think. But I've read so much stuff here wtf.

          I am Dutch, as someone pointed out. Born here, had no say in it either. Also not completely Dutch either. Doesn't mean I'm white necessarily. And also not a supremacist. Could be true, won't matter.

          Definitely not a fascist. But hey, can't blame you if that's the label you want to give me, and it gives you a positive feeling. Maybe even superior, who am I to assume.

          I blame capitalism for many of the worse things people have to endure, and I am lucky to be born into a life in the working class, so to say. Working until I die I guess.

          All I see here is people trying to validate hatred and blaming someone else for it. Grow up for crying out loud, and do something about it. It's not like most of anyone here have better things to do right? Or is this also wrong to say? Probably.

          Instead of calling me out on whatever it is I am to you, I would like to see someone actually come with a solution or opinion that doesn't make me personally the/a villain instantly. Why not educate me, if many here are so good with words?

          Don't think for a second that I am what you assume because of a comment on the internet. Let's see who can be the human being that actually wants to solve anything instead of blaming each other.

            Whiteness is an idea just like captialism, its something that can shelf blame for horrible things. Your skin color doesn't actually matter in all of this. The cracker/mayo stuff is a vibe check to see if you digested this information.

              I guess thanks for this, everyone else seems to be funny about it but I honestly don't understand this place, maybe I'm too new to it and am missing alot of context.

              Still don't understand the rudeness in all of this tho, but then again maybe I shouldn't discuss anything if I don't understand the context I guess.

              It is funny to see all the pigshit on balls. Not the most impressive insult, if it even is one, but made me chuckle.

                I think honestly many of the people who are throwing the insults the most are just feeling white guilt. They're compensating for the privilege they feel. In my opinion, it's not useful to be like that and is ironically pretty "white." My opinion.

                I think there is a place for it especially for people who aren't white and are under the boot of the white, colonial, capitalist system but I dont think using it as the main tool of expressing your anti-colonial and anti-racist sentiment is a good idea.

                I think it's fine to ask questions, just don't respond to hostility with hostility and try to be the bigger person when someone wants to argue.

                The rudeness is a knee jerk reaction to the type of people we get coming here with bad intentions.

                Pigpoopballs is an old meme that we've beaten to death, I'm glad you got something out of it. The old chapo subreddit got a trump guy to post his dick once which is funny.

                  I think mayocide and self hating whiteness are a very small overall part of hexbear posting. it’s inevitable to see more of it in a thread like this when people from across the lemmyverse are gut reacting to some real tepid “death to white people” shit posting and trying to report it like they’re on Reddit where the Admins will just coup any mod who doesn’t capitulate to their “rules based order”.

                  And the rudeness honestly has some real world utility here. We aren’t like and don’t aspire to be like Reddit where horrible evil can be defended and advocated for as long as you strike the right respectful tone, and if we can sus out and turn away people who value tone above material reality that’s useful. It isn’t the conscious reason for the way we are but it does play a small role.

                  I don't have white guilt I hate the concept of whiteness. I don't like being perceived as white and all the privilege that comes with it but I don't feel guilty about it. I didn't choose to be "white".

                  I think it's important. I have come to a conclusion that is internally consistent to me and not self loathing. Like the patriarchy, I can hate the power structure even if it benefits me without hating who I am.

                ppb isn't an insult, it's more "bad take" than "you suck". it does mean you're going to get insults if you keep going down that path, though. redirecting - like you've done - will change the kind of responses you get. "post hog" is the actual insult and it means you've left the plane of human compassion.

            Like Mokey said, "whiteness" is not someone's nationality or race (see: honorary aryans), it's a concept used to justify colonialism and capitalism/imperialism and the wars and genocide that come with it.

            Your comment isn't much different from the "all lives matter" and "not all men" shit that conservatives (and hell, many liberals too) say.

      I can tolerate white people in limited doses and can work them, but I have my limits. I'm from a large South Asian family and if a young woman from my family came home with a crakkker male then we'd have to have what the eyetalians call a sit down and maybe my cousins and I would have to pay the white boy a little visit where nothing illegal at all would happen.

Sometimes it feels like it's a bunch of white people saying fuck whitey ironically until a POC comes a long and actually says something about white people, especially when it comes to sex.

      Hate to point out the obvious, but white supremacy won't dissappear unless "white people" actaully talk about it and I've read enough Thanksgiving posts on this site to know alot of you patsy mfs got some white citizens council-ass family members who need a good talking to
