I know a lot of people get offended by how I talk about white people. It's cool. I say some pretty hard things about that culture. Ha a few even believe I am 'racist' against them, but I generally just look at that as a deflection to avoid dealing with the reality of the choices that culture makes.

I don't hate anyone. Hating people isn't my thing.

But, you cannot be a rational person and deny the overriding ethos of white America is racism.

@Are0h There is a difference i think in 'White Americans' which is a blanket statement and those who identify as 'White Americans' specifically.

I am white and was raised to believe we are all equal. Many of my ex's and most of my friends aren't white.

I've never gotten along with racists, in fact got into fights growing up because people used racist terms around me and i didn't like it.

I know there's a lot of crappy white people, but not all of us suck in unison.

@nonbinary No one said anything about all white people so your point of contention is fictional to begin with.

And, as the many links I posted show, I am not talking about your specific anecdotal experiences. I am talking about very well documented behaviors and trends.

I have not interest in assuaging your feelings about history. It just is what it is. If you don't like it, feel free to go elsewhere.

@Are0h #1. I've only come to Mastadon in the last 24 hours. I've zero clue about your links.

#2. You obviously aren't interested in talking about anything with white people given i'm probably a good example of one that is receptive enough to respond honestly being genuine and at least trying. But if that's the immediate response i can only wish you the best with your racist views.

@nonbinary 1. Then you're admitting you're speaking from ignorance. There is an easy way to alleviate that.

2. *shrugs* The many conversations I have on here shows that I am very open to talking to reasonable people. You're literally just making shit up.

And no, you're not a good example of one that is 'receptive'. I have many other examples of that on my timeline. You're the other thing.

You can believe whatever you like. History is still history.

@Are0h Sorry, i'm not here to waste my time with angry people of any color who dislike people of another color who come here to focus on that.

I sort of have a life beyond hate.

Again, wish you the best with whatever it is you're about. I guess i'm not interested in trying after your response(s).

@nonbinary Again, you can make up whatever you like. The only person angry here is you.

I laid out my thoughts very clearly in the thread you refuse to read because you'd rather concoct some narrative to validate your hurt feelings.

*shrugs* Then go away. No one is holding you here.
