White people being shocked at other white people's ignorance to signal that they themselves are down with Black people instead of coming to terms with whiteness, which they also participate in & must old other whites accountable to, doesn't impress Black folks at all. @hellhouse501c3.bsky.social

Just a thought, maybe if the Dems didn’t insist on ratfucking progressives & leftists for the last 8yrs & hadn’t prioritized installing the least likable neoliberal ghouls over all else, we wouldn’t be in a position where a sundowning genocidaire was on track to lose to the dumbest fucking fascist.

Zero Black Americans find racism surprising. There is no one living as a Black person who's not slammed by antiblackness constantly in this country, even the coons. The rest of y'all are either being racist to us, or you don't know any of us, so whatever happens to us is shocking news to you.

Exactly. Actual minorities in this country don’t get to laugh off bigoted jokes about us because they actually hurt, because we’re actually marginalized. Spicy whites do get to laugh them off because they are white in our society. And I won’t entertain them trying to shove off being white.

You don't get to say, my entire society perceives me as white, but I'm not white. Black people don't get that deal unless they're white passing, & if they're ethical white passing, they always make their Blackness known. If we can't relinquish being Black, y'all can't relinquish being white.

I guarantee you the conclusion centrists and Carville-esque liberals are going to take from the recent European elections is “OK well we tried but it’s time to throw the immigrants under the bus, there’s no other way to survive.” Some of them have already landed there and the rest are en route.
