What’s up with these unfounded accusations? Stop rationalizing your point of view and try to use logic. That statement is mere cope.
You are literally just trying to be a contrarian here. The historical context of the meme is American history if you didn’t notice. Therefore, my definitions are correct in the economical and historical context. You are literally just trying to move the conversation away from the actual issue. I am not playing that game. You can go and troll elsewhere.
Capitalism needs always growing and expanding markets in order to keep giving the owners of capital with surplus value; therefore, it colonized inhabited lands to tap on new markets and uses the population of over exploited countries as slave labor for maximum profits. It uses race and racism as a convenient story to justify why the slaves are in the position of slaves and why the native people were genocided to take their land. This is why imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and racism is a tool of capitalism. To learn more about this please read
I have posted some of those in the past, and still get downvoted to oblivion haha.
This meme is great, but I am very surprised that it hasn’t been downvoted to oblivion with the massive amount of libs that scroll around this community.
White people who don’t do shit are not allies. They literally just keep the status quo that benefits them.
People like you just “support” from the sidelines to suit your ego. You are the friendly face of white supremacy. Your white complacency keeps white supremacy going strong.
Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism and racism is one expression of it
> What exactly do you want me, the average white guy to do?
To join socialist organizations that try to destroy capitalism and end white supremacy, and to learn critical race theory and stop this bullshit victim complex that you have whenever anyone calls out the privilege of your group and how your group just fucks everyone else.
> I acknowledge they were assholes and they built a system that fucks you over.
Not just that. They keep upgrading that system to makes it worse and worse for non-whites. white people benefit from white supremacy which they enforce with systematic racism, hold almost all of the wealth of the country, hold the vast majority of the positions of power, are the least likely to be incarcerated unjustly while are the most likely to incarcerate black and brown people unjustly and tend to vote right wing and right wing policies against marginalized groups. Also they own the most amount of stolen land from native people and refuse to give it back. They are the ones who vote against constructing affordable housing in their neighborhoods to keep marginalized groups away, while they keep enjoying the land that they stole. They refuse to give reparations to marginalized groups. They refuse to give the descendants of slaves the plantation land that they worked on. And they recently voted against ending prison slavery.
Hang myself in the street because my ancestors were assholes?
This is literally the most bullshit thing reactionary say to avoid any fucking accountability. You don’t hang yourself. You join Marxist organizations that work towards ending white supremacy, work towards giving the land back to native Americans and to give reparations to black people. But that is hard so you of course won’t do it. It is just so easy to whine that minorities just hate you and do nothing for them because that is the path of least resistance and you can keep benefiting of your white supremacy.
Why don’t you say: I know that my ancestors were demons so I work on orgs to prevent immigrants from being deported, that prevent black people to be unjustly incarcerated, that work for indigenous rights and tries to get rid of white supremacy by destroying capitalism
You won’t because it is so easy to throw a tantrum and complain from your position of privilege saying that you vote Democrat like if the democrats give a shit about anything while they make a genocide, and you call it a day.
That is just typical white complacency and that just does nothing more than to suit your ego for you to have peace of mind while you keep your privilege that your ancestors gave you with war crimes and your group currently maintains with immense violence and oppression against marginalized groups.
What criticism?
That the white character is called a piece of shit for all that the character has done
And your entire joke only works if “all of white people” was one single entity, but they’re not. A white person is not responsible for other white people.
The point of the joke is to point out the history of oppression that white people have excerted to all those groups in the picture. Or all those groups just put as one entity as well?
And why should that one white person just shut up and take the punches for something they’re not responsible for?
The meme is about the oppression that white people have done, and how they are being called out on it, but acting like victims saying that being called out for it is oppression, when it is not.
If you didn’t notice the characters of the meme represent groups, not just one person. If they did represent just one person, then that one person did all of that and then deserves to be called for all of that, no?
But I will read CRT and get back to you one day. If it is based on science as you say
You desperately need to!! Your understanding is very very lacking.
Not it is super short. Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.
Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.
Your definition is literally useless and outdated because it doesn’t take into consideration neither power dynamics nor the global systematic racism created by white imperialist countries which has existed for hundreds of years by this point. That is why in critical race theory, which actually studies how race affects groups in a scientific manner, only the second updated definition is used.
You are literally helping the right so much by calling any criticism of the oppressor group as racist. This group literally created a system of oppression that keeps marginalized groups oppressed all over the world and constantly votes for policies that reinforce their supremacy in the system. That is pure right wing ideology.
Bro, you literally don’t understand anything and just keep repeating the same nonesense over and over. It is making my head hurt honestly. Please read on critical race theory and stop spewing nonesense. Once you get yourself educated on power dynamics reach back to me. But meanwhile, please don’t waste my time with ignorant smart ass remarks from someone who doesn’t obviously know anything.
You are literally the one cherry picking definitions when systematic racism is the system that we live on, which literally benefits white people. The definition that you are using is literally an outdated definition only used by right wing ideologues when they want to take away any programs or services that help close the gap between whites and non-whites like Affirmative Action because they are “racist”.
You sound like Trump in this video honestly

Criticizing white people as group for creating systematic racism and keeping it alive and voting against marginalized groups doesn’t hold your definition. People like you just hate when white people are called in their bullshit lmao.
I guess that Martin Luther King was a racist for criticizing White Liberals and Black Liberation people were racist for criticizing white people treatment of blacks.
But of course, oppressors always say that the oppressed are racist when they criticize their groups. Just see Zionists say that Arabs are racists for criticizing Israelis lmao.
So gladly remove your ignorant right wing ass from Lemmy. Your policing against minorities won’t be missed. Your bigotry against minority groups won’t be missed. White people will be criticized for the all the bullshit that they have done, do and will keep doing until white supremacy stops existing.
Your are literally only helping keep white supremacy stay alive with your argument.
You are so confidently wrong that is funny, honestly.
the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism
Edit: It is so funny that white people believe that they can be the victim of racism when they literally created a system that makes that impossible. The system created by them is done to screw all marginalized groups and keep their white asses on top of the global hierarchy
Tell me that you are a troll without telling me that you are a troll.
Tell me that you dont know shit about critical race theory without telling me that you don’t know shit about critical race theory. Lmao, you can’t be racist against white people because no other group has the means to actually oppress them.
Also, white people benefit from white supremacy which they enforce with systematic racism, hold almost all of the wealth of the country, hold the vast majority of the positions of power, are the least likely to be incarcerated unjustly while are the most likely to incarcerate black and brown people unjustly and tend to vote right wing and right wing policies against marginalized groups. Also they own the most amount of stolen land from native people and refuse to give it back. They are the ones who vote against constructing affordable housing in their neighborhoods to keep marginalized groups away, while they keep enjoying the land that they stole. They refuse to give reparations to marginalized groups. They refuse to give the descendants of slaves the plantation land that they worked on. And they recently voted against ending prison slavery.
Get away of here with you cracker ass reverse racism bullshit. White people as a group are horrible pieces of shit.
The USA is a bourgeois democracy. It is only a democracy for the rich.
What is the difference between good friends and core friends?
