It's still crazy to me that reactionaries think democrats were on BLM's side when many democrats somehow felt the need to speak up against BLM rather than do the easier thing of just shutting up
Interesting, allow me to point out two specific things I disagree with and derail the whole attempt
Ugh. There's two of those in the lemmygrad mirror of this post and god it's too early in the morning for me to be explaining to cacs why their stance is untrustworthy at best
I'm sorry but I hear "White Supremacy Pyramid" and all I can think is this
I tried to post this exact same God damn picture today, but the "external image" was removed.
How do you make this work?
Check out my comment history and you'll see that it would have been an absolute RIOT
Edit: because it was on Lemmy
Please, I just want the power to post! I'm begging! 
I want to know more about this magical place where racist jokes are considered socially unacceptable.
went looking for the violence matrix and found this gem instead
Oh no a time injury, those are the worst kind
Yeah, I mean, have you ever been assaulted by the concept of time itself?
That shit hurts!
The unrelenting progress of time is literally destroying my body.
violence matrix
I do all my violence in tha matrix
cause discord isn't encrypted
This is what I was after
Thank you for censoring this. It offended the eyes in several ways
God, time injuries are the worst. You know how hard it is to get in contact with Trunks?
Trunks is the actually busy one in the Time Patrol. Have you tried addressing a prayer to Chronoa yet?
I'm adding "Time Injury" to my vocabulary, cause I feel that in my core

Can anyone educate me on what Spiritual Bypassing is, and how it relates to White Supremacy? I'm from a quite secular place, so I can't say that I often experience people even being spiritual at all, so this is a blind spot for me. I Googled it, but could only find vague explanations on using Spiritualism to dismiss things. I'm aware of all the other concepts, so figure I might as well educate myself on the one I'm not aware of.
One example is plastic shamans, white people appropriating deep shamanistic/indigenous belief systems into a typically grifting and very shallow new age style framework. Another good example is what's happened with ayahuasca spiritual practices becoming mere vision tourism.
I'd add one more thing I've learned from Asian twitter accounts:
When intervening in an altercation between an Asian person and someone who isn't (usually white), the white person restrains the Asian person (even as they're still in the middle of being attacked) or only intervenes when the Asian person stands up for themselves.
I wasn't sure if I should mention this as it sounds close to white silence, but in the event of a fight where an Asian person is being restrained while they're still being attacked this is worse than merely being silent.
I am bit confused. How can someone in an argument in the comments be restrained?
For a second I thought that you were talking about an actual physical altercation.
For a second I thought that you were talking about an actual physical altercation.
I am talking about a physical altercation; there are videos uploaded of white people supposedly trying to break up fights but only holding back the Asian person while they're (the Asian person) being physically attacked.
That sounds like mobbing on someone to me. Shows how racist they are.
I am not Asian, but I am a person of color, and once a group of white people wanted to gang on me just because I was asking for help to a cash register lady about my order ticket.
The first white guy just came saying “She is not going to help you.” Mind you that the guy didn't work there.
Then another white guy came after him saying the same crap.
I didn't even know how to react. I was just shocked because who the hell does that. Like asking someone for help about a placement ticket is not a crime or rude as far as I know to warrant such reaction from random men.
The cash register lady had to intervene for them to leave me alone.
There are crazy white supremacists everywhere and they always gang up.
"there's one human race"
Genuine question, how is that racist? Or is it because it's a statement made from a "white privilege pov"?
I genuinely try to treat all people equal, but I realize I fail often due to unconscious biases etc.
The line has “all lives matter” energy which gives it the same problems i.e derails the conversation.
Racist in terms of context, when it's used to minimize the struggles of marginalized minorities when they are speaking up
A polite and snide way to say "Get over it will ya, we're all the same deep down" an example of bad faith rhetoric
The statement is fine after racism is abolished.
It's like George W Bush saying "I don't see race" as an obvious and transparent tactic to dismiss criticisms that he's racist
