Your average Hexbear looking in the mirror :hesitation-1: :hesitation-2:
Lol white people be like "don't be all 'white people be like,' white people."
Tangential, but for some reason this reminds me of when I was a kid and a teacher got mad at me for saying "honky." I'm white, motherfucker! How do I not get h-word privilege?!?
I recognise that white supremacy is toxic and work to deconstruct it.
I did just buy my dog a Soviet medal for his birthday.
people can have white skin, but there is not such thing as a white race
t there is not such thing as a white race
Counterpoint: NASCAR
"White people" are, on average,
20% European
60% Middle Eastern
20% "Siberian" or "Ancient North Eurasian"What people call "European" today is just the mix of Aboriginal Europeans + migrants and conquerors from the Middle East and Siberia.
It's like when people always say "Hispanic/Latinos isn't a race". It's the same thing for "White" or "European" (at least 'European' in the modern sense, you could certainly say that Aboriginal Europeans from 6000 years ago were somewhat "pure" in an essentialist sort of way)
this is why ben franklin only considered br*tish truly hwite
cw, extremely racist even by 1700s standards
[W]hy should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion. Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.this is why ben franklin only considered br*tish truly hwite
it's actually not, that breakdown I posted is literally for the british. Franklin was just flying by skin color, but skin color is not ancestry.
It depends on the extent of the parasocial relationship with the dog. There's certainly a threshold beyond which someone becomes white and I own one of my dog's flags.
false, in fact, the dog owns you and therefore himself and his flag and any soviet medals bestowed upon him
He keeps saying things like this but I think it's enabling his sense of grandiosity and need to sublimate his anxiety.
You're using parasocial incredibly wrongly. You and the dog both know each other and invest similar amounts into the relationship. Parasocial is when one member only vaguely knows of the other but the other has deep knowledge of relationship with the one.
Wouldn't it be parasocial in this sense? He knows I exist but he doesn't know that I've built an elaborate fantasy world around him. The relationship exists on those two separate levels and the latter is unreciprocated.
Your favorite youtuber doesn't actually know you, and you see an act they put on for you. Your dog knows you and you both see the real you, even if you interpret that reality differently.
It's that secondary relationship which is unknown to my dog. It'd be like if I stalked my favourite youtuber who knows they have an audience but not the extent of my devotion to them. Making a fantasy world around an extra relationship to them that they don't participate in would be parasocial.
Your dog knows you feed them and pick up their poop and take them to the vet. How does your dog not know how you feel about them?
He knows that relationship exists. The youtuber knows they have an audience who contributes to their patreon. They're both aware of one level of social relationship and it's a transactional one even if they like the idea of their audience or he likes his owner. The parasociality is when there's a one-sided fantasy relationship built on top of that which the other side either doesn't know about or doesn't accept. Sasha knows he's Sasha but he doesn't know he's the Marshal of the Democratic People's Republic of Sashatown. That only exists for my benefit because I'm pathologically white, and his participation in it is the same as if I screenshotted that youtuber doing one thing and photoshopped them into doing something else.
Oh I get it! You in particular are weird because most people just have dogs and think of them as dogs.
Precisely. That weirdness is what we call the white race. I can tell you whether someone is white or not just by looking at them and seeing if they have a dog dressed in some sort of elaborate outfit.
Etsy has a few vendors selling reproduction Order of Lenin medals. They're not for dogs specifically but he's my special boy.
making fun of honkys is funny and everyone should do it because it upsets nazi perverts
white people: "white people be like"
hexbear users: "liberals be like" :blob-no-thoughts:
Ugh, I see this dude posted on :reddit-logo: a lot, and I can't stand this overacting shit
I agree with the video, but :cringe:
