I’ll start

This is embarrassing but I cried when SHillary lost to Trump.

    It doesn’t have to “lead to liberation”, christ. If people of colour wanna take the piss out of their oppressors after hundreds of years, who the fuck are you to stop them? Given how bad a hand they’ve been dealt by a white supremacist society, it should make you stop and think about why someone would be so angry at whitey. Relatedly, I ain’t gonna stop calling people “cissies”, because lmao.

    Yes exactly, all of the historical racism(and intertwined imperialism) we’re talking about still happens today, just by different means. We still live in a white supremacist society, sadly, even with the progress that the civil rights movement for example made.

    YOU are pure cringe cringe Who are you, from your position of privilege (i.e. being white) to dictate how those experiencing oppression at the hands of white people should behave? What kind of tone-policing bs is that???

      TBH it sounds to me exactly like “These children’s parents were beheaded, let them throw rocks to cars”.

      We do indeed. Let’s remember that we agree at least on this topic.

      YOU are pure cringe

      Shame. I genuinely think that I’m missing something on this topic like I did when there was Trans / Black lives matter vs All lives matter.

        You are. But we gave you concise and easy to digest answers as well as links to full blown literature if you need a more thorough look at the topic to understand it, which it seems like you do. Read Settlers.

        Idk what the fuck you’re talking about but, sure. Why are you people so intent on non-sequiturs? POC saying they hate white people is never going to hurt you as much as a rock is, though.

        Yeah you must be, even though several people have laid it out in detail throughout this thread, like: You don’t get to be a white person and tut-tut at POC for being angry at white people given all the shit white people have caused and are causing. POC are right to be mad, and hating white people is the expected outcome.
