you’re the guy who said that we can’t say the police is a racist organization because there are black cops. I wouldn’t be too involved in race conversations if I were you tbh.
I know. It is also bigoted to say you’re not surprised by a white South African being racist. That’s like saying you’re not surprised by a black African American being a criminal.
Oh, so the oppressed aren’t allowed to dismantle their oppressors? They must rise above and be civil? They are the ones that must be kind and courteous to those who would subjugate them further?
I’m a white guy from Indiana. And if Elon Musk was from Indiana and someone said, “a guy from Indiana made his app anti-black? Shocking.” I’d be like, “I know, right? This state is full of racist as fuck white people.” I wouldn’t be offended.
But he’s not from Indiana though. The point I’m trying to make is that the commenter posed an unfair stereotype which suggested that white South Africans are proclived to racism even though there are no facts to support that argument. There is however evidence to suggest that Indianans or Idahoans or whatever other white inhabitants of famously racist US states are proclived to racism.
You’re right, he’s from an even more racist place. So I’m not sure why you think that’s an unfair stereotype when it is a fair one for a U.S. state that never had apartheid or slavery.
A guy from South Africa made his app anti-black? Shocking.
The white guy who is only rich because of black oppression in South Africa, in fact.
Does this comment/joke assume all white South Africans are racist?
No. It simply states that it’s not surprising when one is.
That’s kinda bigoted

I admit that one might have been a bad take in hindsight, but my stance is unshakeable on this issue
It’s bigoted to invade a county and extort them for labor because you believe the native population to be inferior.

No it fucking isn’t
Yes it is. You’re making a judgement about both groups based on the colour of their skin
If it makes you feel any better, I’m pre-judging Musk based on his bank account.
Wow …no you’re not. Jesus, where did you learn logic???
Oh no. White people being the target of bigotry? Welcome to the fucking club that they started.
Are you being serious lol
Yes.
Just calling out the double standard man. We don’t have to continue a bad practice.
Sir, you are bringing logic to a Lemmy thread where only emotion matters. It doesn’t seem to be going well for you frankly.
I don’t know why i still bother honestly; only to be labelled a fascist/Nazi once they’re done with the downvote bombing. It’s disgusting.
It’s flawed logic. Being kind and civil to one’s oppressors is literally further oppression.
Were you one of those people bitching about the 2020 George Floyd protests, too?
Oh, so the oppressed aren’t allowed to dismantle their oppressors? They must rise above and be civil? They are the ones that must be kind and courteous to those who would subjugate them further?
What kind of bootlicker are you?
Are you fucking dumb?
No.
You, on the other hand…

Do you see my point?

🙆
Interesting how eager you were for me to see your point, and when I responded to it, all you did was troll.
I guess I shouldn’t have expected any better.
