There’s one problem, some people conflate humanitarian sentiment for Palestinians as antisemitism. Is that part of what you’re calling racist? I haven’t seen racism on lemmy.world at least, so I am confused. Edit: nvm, I recall some racism now in a political thread.
The problem is you’re so concerned with racism you’re willing to go the complete opposite direction. The type of person to say “black people can’t be racist to white people!” while saying the most racist shit possible. The type to be so overly concerned with the outcome you’ve boxed in your definitions so you can feel like a hero to the oppressed when in reality you’re just changing which class of people get oppressed. The Jews feel like they can’t possibly be as bad as the Nazis because they were victims as they now slaughter children taking shelter in hospitals.
I used them as a ‘debate tool’ to illustrate how an oppressed class can become the oppressors and you still let it soar over your head.
Yeah I’m trying to get you to self reflect but you’re right, it’s a ridiculous notion. Hey there’s still a Target you can go burn down for attention, better get on it.
Did you want to expand on that or just keep me guessing?
Oh good, you expanded on it.
Ahhh the “white people aren’t a race” okay, black people aren’t a race then. Doesn’t make a whole lot of fucking sense does it? Breaking down definitions so you can build them back up to suit you is exactly what the ‘anti-racists’ do and it’s so god damn extra. Racism has absolutely nothing to do with power, oppression, none of that. I know, shocking. Racism is treating any race as inferior (regardless of their perceived power!) and you seem very strongly aligned with the dipshits who think you can shit on white people for being white and it not be racism because of some bullshit power dynamic you tack onto the end of the definition.
To be clear, white people were the first slaves. To be clear, Egypt even did it long after. The racism against black people is only the most recent. Not even the longest or the most brutal and your insistence to make it the biggest fucking deal to everyone around you is exhausting and plays counter to your entire side. You create the people you rally against because you go from “freeing the oppressed” to becoming the oppressors. You’ve gone from sticking up for people who couldn’t do it themselves to burning down buildings and blaming white people for not listening. You’re delusional and have become the thing you claim to be fighting against.
Fuck off and have the slightest bit of self reflection.
I’m calling people racists for being racists.
The fact that you care more about being called a racist than the actual racism being discussed says it all.
Trying to shift the discussion to people you probably don’t give two shits about beyond using them as a debate tool does too.
At the end of the day, if being called a racist bothers you that much, just stop being one.
