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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm not white and I think it's a good thing, because 90% of white people go
when you actually start talking about eurocentrism, physical material, and the fact that their special snowflake status didn't materialize out of thin air or the "superior quality of their spirit" or some other euromystical witchcraft shit dressed up as pseudoscience, but rather from the fact that they lucked out by finding two megacontinents of free shitIf a white person is unbothered by some racial self-flagellation it's a good indicator that they don't have a massive ego based on vicariously identifying with their race, AKA are "one of the good ones" (And let's be honest, there's a lot, a looooot of bad ones out there, some very bad hombres!)
Also, the entire rest of the english-speaking internet is filled with racist jokes about every other race EXCEPT white people, and you get censored/downvoted/banned if you ever do make such jokes about the crackers (even if they're really objectively funny, I got mass downvoted for making a joke about the "mayo clinic" for example)
so yes making fun of white people is good. I am not white.
making fun of white people is good.
I agree.
"Kill all white people" is a frequent refrain. Please explain the joke to me.well it's only funny if a white person says it
the comedic value being that they're so impossible that even "their own kind" are sick of them
Sorry if that struck anyone as racist, but white people told me that I'm not physically capable of being racist, and who am I to argue with lord cracker
I don't get the joke.
A white person saying "kill all white people" seems like a cry for help, they're asking to be killed. What's the joke?They're not being serious, obviously. It's like when people on youtube comments say "please kill me right now" after seeing something really weird
It seems like quite a few on here mean it.
I guess I just don't see the comedy in ironic calls for genocide. Nor any real critique of anything.

i agree in a lot of ways, but as comrade RedQuestionAsker said there's a line between making fun of the concept of whiteness, not identifying it, mocking people who do and sometimes people who dont. but that's entirely seperate from this imo. i think that "let's genocide all of the white people" crosses that line
but yeah you're right.
