Part 2 in my multipart series of :stormfront: melting down after being exposed to a conversation about race that doesn't begin and end with "I don't see race"
r*ddit really is just a horribly racist site full of the whiniest crackers. if you listen to them, the only racism is against white people
The replies 100% validate the views of the school board member it’s really funny. They are completely lacking in self awareness.
Zero capacity for introspection
The one good school board member in the entire country. In my personal experience, the typical school board consists of lib labor aristocrats and fash petite bourgeois parents who have only one goal: lower property taxes. The fash these days also want to exterminate trans folks while the libs want only to compromise with and crack jokes alongside the fash.
They also want to minimize slavery, eliminate any mention of BIPOC people being oppressed and institute more "patriotism" into history.
This is a state legislature not a school board but still gives you an idea of where things are going.
The school board member in question seems to be completely reasonable and correct, but oh dang she pronounced the word 'ask' like she grew up in a black neighborhood so :anti-cracker-aktion: has opinions about her
:england-cool: used aks/ax/axe for a millennium before colonising the US. They were in use in :amerikkka: up until the 19th century when white people started saying and spelling “ask” instead. Then proceeded to berate people for “saying it wrong”. “Ask” is relatively new.
Wasp used to be waps.
Butterfly used to be flutterby.

well this makes a lot more sense, they do just flutter by :is-this:
Holy shit, the Reddit OP's account is just open hostility towards black people. Part of me is just shocked that this is allowed to exist.
Reddit had a popular sub with a really bad racial slur in the name until like 2017 or so.
idk how :reddit-logo: found a way to be racist about "drinking more water", but they sure did
We might be talking about a different sub, I'm talking about the one that used the c-word slur for black folks.
Removedtown vs waterremoved. The latter eventually moved to hydrohomies and got pretty good by reddit standards
Although it did create a nice "filter" where the successor sub excludes all of the people who decided to die on the "I want to keep the racist name" hill. similar thing happened to an anime memes sub when they banned a certain word and all the people who demanded to be able to use it went elsewhere.
Man, PublicFreakout is probably the only subreddit more racist than ThatsInsane.
:so-true: what if we replaced the word 'white' with 'black'. Still racist??

Whiteness is also an imaginary concept and a figment of the racist imagination, of course, but that doesn’t make it any less real, or deadly; whiteness is a thing because people insist that it is, and use force and violence to make it so. Whiteness is a thing because white supremacists needed a name for their violent subjugation of others, and so they gave it one. In this way, whiteness is a uniquely virulent and pathological form of social identity. It cannot survive its loss of supremacy; it cannot abide competition or mixture or “impurity.” Created by racial slavery and given a second wind by European imperialism, whiteness depends on the violent subordination of all others. Celebrate your Irish heritage if you must, or your Pennsylvania Dutch grandparents; that has nothing to do with the whiteness that names me, now, but which (partially) excluded my Irish and German ancestors when they came to this nation. Irish and Pennsylvania Dutch can and will survive incorporation into a multi-ethnic nation, but it is the sine qua non of whiteness that it cannot and will not. Inextricable from racial subordination, whiteness has no other content at all: whiteness is what’s left in the melting pot after everything else has been burned away. Without that xenophobic fire, it has no meaning, no substance, no fundamental.
This is why “white genocide” actually does have a meaning beyond “racial integration.” If you take away a white person’s ability to live as the undisputed master of the universe—to take his own experience as normal and privileged, and to presume all others to be debased copies of his own primary existence—then you take away his whiteness.

I always ask :cracker: 's define "whiteness" in a way that doesn't harken to the history of white supremacy
Ya, I totally expected everyone to be cheering her. Why did I think that :deeper-sadness:
i may have expressed this before in recent days/weeks but i cwnt recall a specific incidence. but i would be inclined to agree eith her. especially after witnessing the majority (vast, vast majority) white-led genocide campaign against :flag-trans-pride: it really made me look into that kind of concept a lot harder and contrmplate that shit. because of jjst how white all of those freaks are. people like Chapelle are just actual anomalies at least from what ive seen.
idk. of course some part of that is the fact that a large number are politicians and what not . (however many arent) and politicians in amerika =old white male bastards most of the time, of course. but still
Black people are way more likely to recognize prejudice against queer people because they've experienced similar prejudice. It's a complete myth that Black people are more homophobic and transphobic than whites. NBA player Duane Wade has a trans kid and he and his wife have been the perfect parents in how they've handled her transition.

:comfy-cool:
there definitely are black terfs, but they're typically in perpetually traumatized internet radfem scenes on tumblr, not the movement conservatives who are only "feminists" insomuch as they maintain "protecting women" as an excuse.
Well, so far it's shaken a few reactionaries loose from just lurking this forum
hell yes.
I want to see the whole statement she read. In the little clip she mentions "policies created by the white majority", so I would bet that she made a very salient point about structural racism and how "whiteness" didn't exist until it was constructed explicitly for the purpose of white supremacy an and that the :reddit-logo:ers are being obtuse about that and conflating it with personal bigotry against European-descended people.
