LOL, yo, what is it with white people trying to compare marginalized groups defending themselves with FASCISM?
Are white people so threatened by the idea of us defending ourself from their hate, that they feel the very act 'oppresses' them?
Whiteness is some SHIT, bro...
@Are0h they can't (won't, refuse to…) see the existing violence, because it's not directed against them and/or they often benefit from it.
So when they see people defending themselves, that looks to them like the first aggression, not like a defense reaction.
I have no idea how to get them to see the original violence though. This (willful or not) blind spot baffles me every single time. It's entirely resistant to any argument. 😓
@mathieu Recognizing the humanity it other people is a slippery slope when your culture teaches dehumanization.
People will willfully deny the violence constantly thrown at us because to do so would mean they would have to recognize the history of it and, most importantly, their role in allowing it continue.
And white people simply do not want to take responsibility for the violence that they still benefit from.
That's why even alleged left leaning white people still have room for racism.
