I want better for everyone and this is the only way to do it

Foaming at the mouth when poc mention cultural appropriation or any other form of racism that they, as a white person, don't think "counts" or doesn't matter. Also refusing to listen to poc about why things are racist even if they, a white person, dont think it is

Using mock ebonics to be "funny"

Acting as if poc are inherently more bigoted or more reactionary.

The constant bad faith interpretations of poc pointing out the double standards for whites vs poc

Responding to poc discussing how being marginalized doesn't prevent white people from being racist by claiming theyre "putting 'white' in front of blatantly (insert bigotry here) statements to avoid criticism" when the statement is referring to specific behaviors belonging to white marginalized people. ex: white women tears in response to being called out for racism or poc not tolerating their microagressions, white trans people claiming that trans poc are actually being transphobic because they won't let racist "jokes" slide just because theyre from a trans person, white disabled people refusing to acknowledge that disabled poc face more hurdles due to systemic racism in Healthcare and the history of segregation like in deaf schools (which led to Black people having to create their own forms of sign language), etc etc

Bringing up Candace Owens when poc say to listen to them about issues that effect their communities

Centering discussions of USAmerican vets around the white man's ptsd from committing murder and raping poc overseas

My partner is Black and I've told them to not bother joining the site even though I know they'd provide a unique perspective. Its one thing to argue with out right racists who are open about their bigotry but another to see people making fun of white libs and conservatives for their racism and then do their own white leftist dogwhistles like I dont fucking know what they're doing

I was raised by white adopters so I can tolerate white bs better than most poc but still I regularly need to leave the site for a couple of months because its exhausting

I want it to be different but half the time it isn't worth pushing back against the casual or overt racism here because its 90% white and whites just don't fucking care about actually dismantling white supremacy

The radical poc leave this site because it is a lot to deal with especially seeing the double standard there is for transphobia vs racism

I'm genuinely convinced this site will never allow that.

Half my reports for racism are ignored and the white people on this site are not interested in listening to poc, they are the exact same as the radlibs who get their politics from posts and refuse to read any theory or educate themselves on racism while laughing at the libs who do the same for communism

Thank you

My adoptive parents bought me so my adoptive mother would have control over my wedding/baby shower and what children I have and she wouldn't risk being alone on holidays when her biological children (all sons) get married.

They've been so much worse to me after I told them I'm not having kids because now they wasted money on buying and raising me

I had a "friend" in high school who had a phase where he'd ask you "whats the manliness song in the world 'random song' or 'material girl by madonna'"

It was always material girl

He also read loli in class

So pretty 😍
