hot take, feel free to dunk but holy shit, all the posts from white people being like "let's kill all the white people" is insufferable "i'm one of the good ones!" nonsense and it really should stop
saying something this edgy does not absolve you of bigotry
edit: for anyone stumbling into the drama, i probably should have elaborated on this post. I am not saying you can't make fun of white people not being able to eat spicy food or anything, but at some point it becomes self-flagellating. to quote comrade RedQuestionAsker:
It's good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It's certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.
It's another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It's not revolutionary, and it's probably not good for you.
that is all. comrades just know i dont hate any of you. i'm not trying to start a slapfight. i just saw this as weird performative behavior and wanted to call it out.
If she wants to betray her people that badly then she would be no daughter of mine. Any child of mine would be educated on the horrors of colonialism and racism so if they decide to fuck a discharge doggy after all of that then there's something wrong with them and I can't have that under my roof.
I'm was a lurker for a while after a discord friend told me about this place. I was aware of the subreddit before it got banned, but I was never active on Reddit at all. Also if you actually went through my post history you'd know that I'm not black. And fuck you for equating a brown person's critique of interracial relationships with 4chan white genocide shit which has actually lead to people like me being killed. Seriously eat shit.
They didn't say you were black, they said you took the vile shit 4chan says regarding black people, changed it to say "white" instead, then posted it. And you haven't offered a critique of interracial relationships, you've just declared that you'd shun your daughter if she dared to violate your wishes regarding who she becomes romantically involved with. "Betraying her people" is an extremely strong position to take regarding the human you've cared for and watched grow and learn for the past 20-odd years.
Either way they're still using the tired "what if the roles were reversed" argument that 4chan posters and fox news boomers use when POC talk about white people.

I could say that it'd be fucked up for them to do that to me after everything I did to raise them.

That's flirting with being abuser talk. I'm going to chalk it up to you not actually having kids in reality, but if you do become a parent, please try to avoid talking to your kids like that, and try to do some introspection on your ideas of what children and parents owe each other.
Alright, fair enough. I'll ask you to do some introspection of your own. I'm guessing you're not a cis het person by your pronouns, am I right? What if you became a parent and your kid grew up to become a massive bigot towards LGBTQ+ people? Would you just suck it up?
To an observer, I would be indistinguishable from cis het, but finding oneself can be a fuck, so let's call me a work in progress trending towards "not strongly identifying with or performing" my AGAB or another gender. Parent to plural children.
If they grow up to become bigots, it is my obligation to work to change that fact. The best chance I have to enact such change is to remain a part of their lives as much as they'll allow. Above all else, however, I have an obligation to look out for their well-being. It may break my heart to be around them, but I brought them into this world, and so long as I'm around they will have a roof and a meal should they require it.
For this analogy to work, you'd have to replace "became a massive bigot towards LGBTQ+ people" with "dated a straight person," or are you claiming that those two things are equivalent?
or are you claiming that those two things are equivalent?
No, because those are two completely different ballparks there, playboy. The struggles of LGBTQ+ people against heteronormative society are not equivalent to the struggle of POC vs white supremacy. And for you to conflate them like that mean either you don't know enough to be speaking in this conversation, or you're just arguing in bad faith. IDK which.
