I’m blown away though at just how much more of it, and how deeply rooted it is.
Same. Same. I’m feeling like I must live in a bubble (nobody around me is like that) and also that it was also always there, they’re just more comfortable taking their masks off right now. It’s depressing.
On the flip side though the people I have around me are mostly family and my kids. I have zero social time beyond that at the moment. Two of my kids besties are not white so I’m at least absolutely sure I’m raising my kids to not be racist pieces of shit. It’s something.
I genuinely expected that tweet to be a “you had me in the first half”. Like the naggers scene in south park. Fuck that guy. Absolute filth.
Blatant racism is a thing, especially online and in gaming. They are literally building a whites-only town in Arkansas.
The areas of the US that mainly were oppressing Native Americans have colorblindness as their main mode of racism, bc they were trying to genocide Natives. So never allowing talk of race and forcing assimilation is what colorblindness is.
The areas of the US that had more black slaves have more explicit blatant racism, because the entire point in the past was to grow the black slave population and keep them in their place.

They are making shit up. There’s a whites only town being made in Arkansas right now and the legal system is allowing it there. There is actively a racist genocide happening of Latinos by this government. Kids and adults both yell the nword in games and even on a hacked Roomba. This one guy refusing to believe in racism is just his own racism, don’t buy into it.
It’s not as bad as social media makes out. I’ve seen more racism in Manhattan and Chicago than down here.
When I moved to the South, black people often gave me the evil eye. Never had that happen before! Really woke to how angry they must feel when hit with random, senseless racism.

Nah, blatant racism isn’t much a thing anymore. It’s the systemic racism that is turning out sticky.
I’m in the South and haven’t heard N, or any other slur, in ages. Confederate flags are rare enough to make my blood boil when I see one.
You’re not where I am in the South then. Lots of flags here. Not sure why people don’t get asses kicked over it like in other places.

I’m also in the South and have a very different experience.
Well that’s heartening. Thanks.

Anyway, haven’t felt that in almost 20-years.
