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.

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.

> Mistaking the end goal with the struggle to get there

This is a great way to describe it.

In an ideal world "race" would not exist but there are a lot of steps to fix the problems that concept has caused before getting anywhere near that point
