Don't be racist, plenty of white people care.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

The person who posted this is definitely white. As a white person myself, I find this post amusing. Do you know why? It's because you're trying to validate yourself. Accepting who you are is essential, and posting this type of content won't help with that.

Pretending to be the 'good guy' is simply foolish. We're all flawed, but I believe most people try not to be. History has occurred, and all you're doing is dredging up its worst aspects. Move on.

So you're not voting for Biden if he doesn't stop the Genocide right?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I have no idea where you pulled that information from. I just love how you completely disregarded my comment and immediately went to politics for your defense. I hope you find acceptance from within.

[+] [email protected] -15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (4 children)

White people is used as a mass. The majority barely care about the Genocide because Palestinians are brown.

They were instantly up in arms for Ukraine when Putin killed civilians 20 times slower than israel. Talked all day about how horrible of a man Putin was and his constituents should assassinate him. Now their own governments are supporting actual Genocide and they've been real quiet.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'm having a hard time following your logic. You're categorizing all white people as not giving a shit about brown people because of the way western governments & media responded to the two conflicts? I'm not saying you're not correct to say racism played a role in the way these conflicts are unfolding but seem to be making massive leaps in logic.

Having the opinion that people should not vote for Biden if he "doesn't stop the Genocide" is naive and moronic to the extreme. If you care about Palestinians you should be making sure Biden is in the white house next election because Trump and the GOP is absolutely not going to improve the situation. And I fucking hate that it's obligatory to say this but that does not mean you cannot criticize Biden or think he's a shitty president.

Fucking christ people cannot grasp the concept of nuance.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

It's not even nuance. Trump, ONSTAGE AND IN FRONT OF MICROPHONES, said that Israel should "finish the job".

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago

Bidens spokesperson just said israel isn't even committing any war crimes.

The white moderate strikes again

Bait

You know what solves racism?

More racism.

/s, because it seems like you might unironically agree.

"Could it be that people were up in arms about Ukraine because Russia's invasion was almost completely unprovoked, and they were fighting for their independence from a far superior military power, calling to mind for many people America's own revolutionary war, combined with strong anti-Russian sentiment from both sides of the American political aisle? Could it be that the majority of Americans are hesitant to speak out now since the power that Netanyahu claims to be fighting against really is as despicable as he says it is and deserves to be wiped off the map, just not with hundreds of thousands of Palestinian casualties, and mainstream media that refuses to acknowledge the civilian casualties at all isn't helping matters?"

"..."

"Nah, must be that all white people are racist."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Palestinians randomly attacked those people that colonized their land and put them in a concentration camp. It was completely unprovoked.

Thank you for proving my point that you are literally incapable of empathy with brown people

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Dammit. Again. First sentence. When dealing with leftists, I have to remember they only read the first sentence.

All of the nuance of the situation aside, for someone who hates stereotypes it seems awfully hypocritical to paint all those people with the same brush.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The post was written by a white dude. Nuance his sentence a little.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What does this comment even mean, genuinely? Do you mean the post you are ardently defending, which, by virtue of having been written by a white person, disproves the point you are trying to make?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It means that the poster has experienced disappointment in the lack of empathy of people surrounding him which ancestry has not experienced the hardships of oppression.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nuance his sentence a little.

Bro. I did. You just saw someone criticising one of your opinions and got so angry you forgot how to read.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You're quoting the wrong comment

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's just a fancy way of saying "I don't want to discuss that anymore. Talk about this other thing instead."

Well neither do I. Have a nice day. Or don't. I'm not your dad.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why would you encourage people to vote for Trump?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

oh damn. i've never met a troll this brazen about putting words in my mouth.

i would say i never said that, but that would mean continuing talking to you for a nanosecond longer than necessary, so whatever, sure. i do that because i'm a terrible person and secretly working for the russian government. go tell all your friends the conspiracy theories you believe are real and leave me the fuck alone.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh nice. Here we see the OP's true intention with this post. A rare occasion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

do you think that not voting will make neither candidate win

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Low quality race bait

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Racist baiting tweeting shared across multiple sites. Yet I'm sure this is totally organic activity.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Only pro israel content is organic right

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago
