If they’re referring to all the PoC who voted for Trump, is that not part of the problem?
Edit: Lemmy loves making MASSIVE logical leaps with very little ACTUAL context.
To anyone who will answer; are the intentions behind the down votes and silly leaps under this comment meant to imply that if you’re not white and you voted for Trump, it’s okay?
To me, it seemed like they were implying that it’s dumb to say PoC don’t have agency and aren’t just as to blame for Trump getting elected as the white people who voted for him.
Everyone who voted for Trump is to blame. Idgaf how much melanin they had, if they voted for him, it’s their fault too.
The post is talking about how poc have been treated by the government and the comment sounds exactly like people who say shit like “some people deserve to be slaves” or “who do you think sent the slaves to the new world.” If they wanted to say “don’t forget that some poc voted for the fascist” they could have just said that. It still would have been tone deaf, at best, but you wouldn’t sound like someone making excuses for a racist Internet stranger.
It’s always the one person who commits a crime but comes from a wealthy, stable family or the one person who’s actually ok with the pennies they get from welfare or the one LGBTQ person who does something heinous that ya’ll use to try to shit down every argument for treating people with basic respect and dignity(well, without them having to beg for it).
Nevermind the first person is probably a white boy who gets away with it or white-collar criminal, the second is the same person getting handouts and still laying off their working-class workforce so they can increase profits, and the last does just kinda suck but it’s also probably a priest who molests children and then preaches about how being gay is bad.
Oh and it didn’t work with my format but if someone doesn’t follow-through with their free education but ten other people get to earn degrees or other training that they normally wouldn’t have access to then that’s fine by me. Stop looking for excuses to be terrible to people and start looking for opportunities to help them.
Yeah dude, not a single PoC is part of the problem. Good call /s
Wtf lol. Haven’t seen such a stupid comment in a long time, thanks for the laugh

" - Yeah, but some are bad people probably, so you know, let’s not try to support slaves as a whole"
Gosh, people with that kind of logic definitely explain how the dark times of history happened.
Who made that logical leap in these comments? Definitely not on the thread I’m commenting on
That was the point of the root comment.
If you don’t see that, there’s a problem.
Damn I’m convinced. Some poc are pieces of shit so we should treat them all like pieces of shit. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways.
That’s not at all what the original comment was saying
Please enlighten me because the original comment sounds a lot like racism and yours sounds like a defense for being racist.

Fair enough. That’s definitely my bad.
