White people will raise hell for discrimination and brutality against Pitbulls but won’t blink twice at a black person getting choked to death by the police, 300 kidnapped Nigerian girls or innocent black people getting thrown in jail with a death sentence.
Not true. Stop generalizing the entire Caucasian race and assuming we have no care for anyone but ourselves.
Sooooooo basically you just proved my point.
Not all of us do that. He is sort of right, you arent being fair to the ‘white’ people that do raise hell for it, that do care. That ARE educated on things happening to the black community. You need to give us a bit more credit, kinda hard to support you guys when we try and support you throw us under the bus and think our agreeing with you isn’t valid.
If white people or anyone for that matter don’t know how to look at something and say “hmm I’m not one of those people so this doesn’t apply to me” and move along. Than you’re not helpful to anyone. I’m not giving you cookies for complaining.
at the same time the kinda have a point. i can see both sides.
At the same time no.
Tbh I dont trust white people who put ‘white’ in those damn scare quotes but not OTHER races. That alone raises a flag. Do better.
“I can see both sides,” says the person who can only see up their own ass
“white people don’t care about the brutality faced by dark skinned people globally, instead they focus on much smaller issues!”
white person: that’s not true and also I don’t like how you said “white people”
The melanin levels in my skin do not matter. Neither do yours. Same goes for what country or religion or accent any of us have.
If you see a horror. If you see an injustice. A prejudice or generalisation. And if you do not speak out, if you are not outraged then you are a piece of shit. It is that simple. I will always speak out and if capable act against any sort of racism, homophobia or fascism I encounter. On anyones behalf at any time. Far too many people ignore or pick and choose which injustices and which bigotry they care about. People of every colour are guilty of it in different ways at different times depending on the individuals in question. I care a thousand times more about BLM and ending racism than what people think about pitbulls. But I can still recognise an injustice when I see it.
Keep calling out people who put petty injustices above the genuinely lifechanging issues. Do it please. It is important work. But when you generalise “all white people are this” even if the vast majority of them are, your legitimate concerns are tarred with the same brush as anyone else who says “all ____ people are _____”.
Your complaints are legitimate, but the way you conduct your arguments detract from your message.
But as a white dude who has been pepper sprayed. Cut. Punched. Kicked. Bottled and god knows what else to stand in between criminal bigots and innocent PoC and LGBT communities don’t fucking lump me in with shitheads who have no basic human compassion.
“more revolutionary than you, dude”
this one is almost perfect for the brocial worker meme but it’s really a close cousin, the whitemanarchist, for whichever one of you wants to put that one together
in the meantime, another good thread for figuring out who to block! just drag that false equivalence “I don’t see melanin” bait through the murky white ally deep, they can’t resist
Fellow white people, please stop, you’re embarrassing me in front of my comrades.
Seriously running-through-ink your analysis is so bad I… You know I’d say I can’t but that wouldn’t express the degree to which I can not.
