edit: for anyone stumbling into the drama, i probably should have elaborated on this post. I am not saying you can't make fun of white people not being able to eat spicy food or anything, but at some point it becomes self-flagellating. to quote comrade RedQuestionAsker:

It's good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It's certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.

It's another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It's not revolutionary, and it's probably not good for you.

that is all. comrades just know i dont hate any of you. i'm not trying to start a slapfight. i just saw this as weird performative behavior and wanted to call it out.

“white” people don’t exist and if you think they do you’re tainted by white supremacy

i wish i could remember who exactly it was, but i remember a few accounts of black panthers leaving the united states - possibly on a trip to mecca, and being like "these white people aren't really white" because they were "brothers in islam" and weren't actually behaving like crackkkers in america do, and were instead being respectful and kind. So actually yeah, the black panthers did understand that whtieness is political and a social construct

Ah, looks it was literally Malcom X himself

"We were truly all the same (brothers)--because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior, and the white from their attitude."

i know you're making a joke, but i want to point out that this thread is about white people joking about hurting white people is bad, but somehow a joke about black activists not understanding basic critical race theory and jumping to being violent to white people is okay. I don't really get that. i feel like joking that black activists will hurt white people because they don't understand their own theory is far more racist than white people saying "kill all mayos"
