    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]
