@msquebanh We ignore all of the years leading up to the abolition of slavery, that's the past, we aren't responsible for that (& other Fairy Tales), the money paid out to the owners of slaves! That money has pretty much set up the entirety of the Capitalist system of exploitation, which every white person benefits from to this day, whether they want it to or not.

@msquebanh I'm Whitey McWhitey, I couldn't possibly know what it's been like for you. I have some understanding about being in a minority, but it's not the same.

@msquebanh Unless your job is to educate people, I wasn't poo-pooing teachers 😀

@msquebanh Yeah, it's that "picking your batlles" thing. A lot of people are repeating things they've heard, most have been part of the majority thinking for so long, it's hard for them to get out of it & some are just funts. Some can be saved & change their thinking though, it's a question of whether you personally have the energy at that moment to do it? If not, it's not your effing job to educate people.

@msquebanh Ask them where they came from from?

@leif5000 Time to get out of this house!

@bavcreampuff No, but it was bloody quick.

@scattermutant @[email protected] @tess @andycymro This is why I'd like Independence for Cymru. We're the perfect size to do the same & we desperately need another model with a lot more socialism baked into it.
