    These are (a carefully chosen subset of) the folks calling for Biden to quit (because he's kind of embarrassing, not because of any of his crimes [with the possible exception of Michael Moore]).

    Gosh, if there was only something they had in common... (Rich? White? Hollywood pedophile? You decide! I am too cowardly to defend my preferred old racist except through subtweets)

    This is every neoliberal thread on Reddit. They love talking about how leftists and right-wingers are all white and talk about poc in a way that always makes me feel uneasy.

    Liberals that treat poc like paragons of virtue make me uneasy. I can never tell if they secretly harbor racist thoughts about me or thinking of some weird fetish while talking to me. Maybe both.

      I posted this in the megathread today, and I can't stop thinking about what it implies that liberals think about the capabilities of black women.

      They talk about us like they talk about Jesus. A lot of emphasis on how he suffered on the cross; not a peep about him chasing money changers with a whip.

      I have the exact same feeling with liberal cishets talking about gay and trans people and liberal men talking about women, there's just something fundamentally dehumanizing in how they view marginalized people. They're playing a game of political football with us, and we're not on their team, we're the ball.

    My eyes somehow first recognized Rob Reiner and Jon Stewart and I was like, are there triple parentheses libs now? ohnoes

    then I saw it was just white guys and was like "Oh, ok."

        I will have no slander of The Stand on my post. That is one of my favorite apocalyptic fiction works. However, a much better and similar story is The Passage which is about a vampire apocalypse of a similar nature. Also The Strain by Del Toro is really great.

    This was me today, but I was calling out a dude for us-foreign-policy . And tbf, that fella I was dunking on might not have been white. That is a construct, after all, and complexion varies within many ethnic and cultural groups. But like, pretty sure smarter people than me could word this prattling better than I.
