RE: https://mastodon.social/@mattsheffield/116332497422486698

this is digital blackface and racist as fuck.

whomever is doing this knows Black people are THE Culture; so how swell it is to make money off Black culture without Black people?

and don't get me started with the fact that automata are proxies for SLAVES.

don't hesitate to call out Alphabet/Google/Youtube for making money off Black digital slaves.

this isn't progress. this is still baldfaced racism.

@blogdiva It's not just racism. It's also machine-made slop. Both need to be fought against across the board.
@maniandthenonos @blogdiva Not trying to be mean, but you people will always say we need to fight against it, but you don't actually acknowledge the original problem because you're so brainwashed just like everyone on the left and right at this point in time (we'll, at every point in time actually, but you know). The actual problem is that definition, "race". It only causes problems in itself and it just claims to be classifying people who are different when it just results in violence.
@maniandthenonos @blogdiva Think of it this way: There's the U.S. and China, correct? These are both very patriotic/nationalist countries. These two will not actually be able to get along due to that. Why? Because of the way they both think. With race, it's kind of the same way. If you continue thinking you're different than someone else, then you're just subconsciously being "patriotic" about being different, it's just subconscious and you don't even realize it's an issue.
@Invector07 @blogdiva Blah blah blah, "you brainwashed" blah blah blah... what do you think this is? Seventh grade? The Boy Scouts of "I am smarter than you"? Who are you to call people who say we should always fight against racism names? Grow up.
@maniandthenonos @blogdiva See, this is exactly what I mean. You're not different than those on the far right who don't listen to anything that is told to them. You both are completely lost causes and I don't see how you think you're any different from each other. Please, just read and think about what was said. It's not that difficult.
@Invector07 @blogdiva I know one thing. I don't need to listen to you, 'Invector07". Go away, clanker. Blocked.

"you people"?

if you don't want me to block you, you better edit that out. am not here for you or anybody to disrespect me like that.

@Invector07 @maniandthenonos

@blogdiva @Invector07 I know, right? "You people"... "You're so brainwhashed"... The guy known as "Invector07" with zero followers comes here to tell "us people" how we should think. The Invector of free thinking. Laughable.
@blogdiva @maniandthenonos I did not say a single thing to offend you. I literally said nothing. You are just trying to be offended at this point. What I said was a little Disorganized because I happen to be quite disorgsnized with my thoughts, but I think it made sense enough for you to know what it meant. I would love to know why you don't like what I said.
@Invector07 don't "you people" me.
@blogdiva Okay, I won't. Yeah, that was rude. Sorry. Now, do you want to discuss? Please be open-minded about this.

Best case scenario “invector” is a racist stooge using AI to produce his slop, if not a bot entirely.

I’ve already blocked it. You are never going to be making a big mistake by blocking any account that shows up selling “racism isn’t a problem.”

@Invector07 @maniandthenonos @blogdiva

Invector may not have been very tactful but I agree with his point that the issue is having internalized the concept of "race" in humanity as opposed to having a spectrum of melanin concentration and many other spectrums of other variables. Race has become a fixed thing that people defend staunchly.
The real divide between Invector and the other group is one of perspective. Invector is idealist and mistaking the end goal with the struggle to get there.

@Invector07 @maniandthenonos @blogdiva

The struggle on a daily basis is real and needs to be acknowledged but you cant lose the ideal in the process otherwise it becomes a vain battle that keeps going in circles.
