jeffwKyle Rittenhouse Tells Native Americans They Can ‘Leave’ If They Hate America
guldukatThat level of irony should be illegal
Admiral PatrickSo should the accompanying level of stupidity.
Conservatives, they don't send their best and brightest.
Oh god, maybe they do.
snooggumsIt should be fatal.
As soon as you say some bullshit like that? Chair to the face.
It’s actually illegal to kill people and he got away with doing it twice. I’m not happy about it, but he’s not going to be touched for this comment, I promise you. The American “justice” system is a joke.
Is it not literally hate speech?
Is he gonna pay for the passport, flight ticket, housing, etc?
I’m partly Native American, I’d like to know…
FredselfishShit sign me up, long as we can go to one of those third world countries. You know the ones with free healthcare and a liveable wage.
Ah I see you like the idea of England then 🔥🔥 💯
Nah seriously though, if someone paid me off to GTF somewhere warm and slightly less comfortable, i’d be all over that like a cheap suit.
One of my grandmothers told me that if you know how you came from her, even if you only have a drop of her blood left in you
You are Lakota.
I think that applies for all the Native People of the Americas.
I’m part Cherokee and part Chocktaw. The first book I read was a survival manual, at age 5. I’m soon to be 42, not like it matters.
I hope that Cherokee, Chocktaw, and Lakota can generally agree these days, the government is fucked up…
I’m pretty sure most people other than those in government or corporations can agree the government is fucked up

Could be a lot worse but yeah it is often very disappointing.
Your link isn’t loading for me.
You don’t even need to be a tribe member to understand how it’s fucked up.
Indeed, the government is fucked up towards way more groups than that.
I’m not even a tribe member, from my understanding of my family heritage, I’m only about 23% Native American, which doesn’t qualify me to live on a reservation.
But I have enough Native American in my blood to be interested and keep up with matters that affect Native Americans, of any tribe.
I hear ya. I have family that has blood and could take advantage of it but they don’t.
I don’t even think of it as a one group vs another. It’s fucked up in many ways for many people. There plenty of fuckary spread around.
The kid couldn’t even finish middle school. Don’t worry about it.
I’d do a tradesies and go live in one of those commie European countries with universal healthcare and education
VulKendovIf it’s up to them, I’d assume it’d be to what they think your home country is, India.
Oh shit, I totally see what you did there.
Just take my upvote 👍
SusagaIf the British government is any example, it’d be Rwanda.
But setting aside the fact that a descendant of colonizers has the caucasity to tell the descendants of the colonized that they should “leave” the land they rightfully pointed out was stolen from them…
Oh, that’s good.
Definitely gotta add that one to the lexicon!
It’s a bit self-hating white person to be honest.
Nope. Hating the bigotry of people who have skin color or another trait in common with yourself does not equal hating yourself. Caucasity is not a trait inherent to all white people.
Contrary to the fantasies of bigots, white people are not one big team united against everyone else.
It’s not really a word.
It’s not really a word
Since it’s used to convey meaning using letters and people understand that meaning, it by any definition that matters IS a word.
Also it clearly implies something is inherent to “Caucasians”
No. “Particularly Caucasians” ≠ “all Caucasians”.
I can’t be bothered to do any clever wordplay on the other supposed racial categories
Good, because that would likely be punching down, unlike pointing out how audacious some white people are with their privilege.
but I suspect any equivalent puns might be considered a little problematic, what what?
No, they wouldn’t be equivalent. Pointing out white privilege and criticizing those that wield it as both a sword and a shield is not the same as making fun of less privileged people or even white people who are aware of and don’t exploit their privilege.
I don’t agree with you.
It’s not actually subjective. That’s just how bigotry and privilege works 🤷
Pretty caucasius of you.
I’m actually white, so the joke’s on you.
Nope. The only joke is you.
The only joke? That’s a sad state of affairs.
niftyI get where you’re coming from, but most people who talk about race based inequality aren’t racist against white people, nor do they use words like caucascity to attack all white people but only those who uphold race based power structures
So, racism bad, except against white people?
Lol no
So, racism bad, except against white people
Nope. Pointing out that someone is being racist isn’t itself racist.
I was referring to the whole “punching down” concept.
Still not racism against white people.
No? Isn’t the whole idea that it’s okay to say things about white people that it isn’t okay to say about other races?
Nope. The idea is that it’s okay to say things about white RACISTS that it would make no sense saying about any other people, white or not.
“White racist” isn’t any more a race than for example “black embezzler” or “Japanese bigamist”
Ok, so if I say “man these Black criminals are ruining our city”, then it’s alright to backpedal when confronted and say “oh obviously I only meant specific Black people”?
Or, different example in the same sphere. Is it okay for a Black person to be racist against white people?
I’ve had it with your ridiculous strawmen. I’ve told you what you need to know (that white people aren’t inherently racist and it’s therefore not racist to call out racism, including racism specific to white racists) and you keep trying to twist it into something it’s not.
I don’t know if you’re a racist yourself, if you’re just a pedant, or if you really believe that you have a valid and important point, but you don’t. Not even close.
I ask because, in the first example, that’s basically your use of “caucasity” but with a different race. The second example is a classic one that proponents of the “punching down” philosophy use - people have told me they believe it’s actually impossible for black people to be racist against whites, because that’s “punching up”.
It's OK to create racial epithets if it's punching the right people.
That’s not really the right line to draw.
Using it satirically to point out hypocrisy is one thing, and that’s fair (but you need to make it obvious). If people don’t get it’s a particular person’s actions you’re mocking then you’re doing it wrong
No need to mansplain it to me.

alephWhy are we giving this odious little oik the oxygen of publicity?
‘We’ as in the the public because humans are addicted to drama.
‘We’ as in the the media because drama brings clicks and clicks bring money.
‘We’ as in this community because the headline is fucking hilarious
And that thumbnail
It’s not a bad idea to keep tabs on what these assholes are up to. This little shit is out there everyday trying to convert people to his cause. Making him look like an idiot on social media might be a vaccination of sorts to keep other young people from falling into his trap.
Because as important as it is to deplatform these idiots, we also need to know what they’re doing. They’re still going to be out there actively radicalizing people and you can’t fight this shit if you don’t know it exists.
I learned something yesterday on Lemmy that completely fits here…
Do you ever look at someone and feel like punching them in the face? Well, Germans have a unique word for that face: a Backpfeifengesicht — a face that’s badly in need of a fist.
Word of the Week: Backpfeifengesicht - GermanyinUSA
Do you ever look at someone and feel like punching them in the face? Well, Germans have a unique word for that face: a Backpfeifengesicht -- a face that's badly in need of a fist. This is one of those strange words that's uniquely German with no English equivalent. The word Backpfeife means
Not quite correct. A Backpfeife is a slap with the open hand, not a punch with a fist. But it sure does apply to Kyle either way.
Aren’t words like this basically just German phrases concatenated together?
ZeroCoolI’ll just drop this here:
This dude isn’t just your run of the mill conservative idiot, he’s exceptionally stupid.
