    You can’t just drop links and racism and pretend that’s an argument. Your post talked about administrators, I explained why that’s wrong. That goal post stays where it is.

      Errr parent comment was troubling, but your claiming that calling out whiteness is “racism” is even more troubling. I don’t know a single place on earth where anti-white racism is a thing, despite fascists claiming that. To be clear, some anti-white resentment does exist in white-supremacist regions, but resentment is not racism or rather is a small subset of racism and not the actual problem that we more precisely call “structural racism”. (see also the wikipedia pages on those topics :))

        resentment is not racism

        I left Ruqqus for the stupid racism there, didn’t expect to find it on Lemmy

        That aside, I agree with most of what you said. My post was just to call out CriticalResist for running behind text walls after posting patently false info

          Yea i agree the original comment was inappropriate, but please be careful when using such a loaded word as “racism” just because someone spelled “white” or “black” :P

          I also strongly recommend you read the wikipedia page on reverse racism, aka anti-white racism. Have a good day!

              WTF? Are you suggesting anti-white racism is a thing? Funny idea for someone who likes to think of themself as anti-imperialist… If you’re instead suggesting that i said anti-white racism is a thing please read the comments again i was saying the exact opposite.

                  The joke’s on you who haven’t even read the wikipedia page i linked to. Quoting the literally second paragraph:

                  Belief in reverse racism is widespread in the United States; however, there is little to no empirical evidence that white Americans suffer systemic discrimination.[Note 1] Racial and ethnic minorities generally lack the power to damage the interests of whites, who remain the dominant group in the U.S.[6] Claims of reverse racism tend to ignore such disparities in the exercise of power and authority, which scholars argue constitute an essential component of racism.[1][2][4]
