Twitter is prime fishing grounds for baiting people because they as a group there are offended by literally everything.

no you didn't

For you.

You can go on twitter and find white moms talking about how they keep putting down their own sons to remind them of their own privilege. If you keep putting them down, especially the next generation, you'll end up with a demographic of folks who have no vested interest in society. This makes them prone to be completely disengaged or they'll lash out against society in violent ways.

If you want a successful and thriving society, you have to build up and support your fellow people. It's the heart of game theory. It's how the bitcoin network is so bloody successful, where everyone has an incentive to work together, it's how different groups and nations get ahead and create generational wealth. Even something as basic as games, groups that share information with one another and support each other collectively advance further than others. Telling people to "check their privilege" and constantly putting them down and making them feel left out doesn't help anyone and is detrimental to society.

"Ha ha I trolled you to get mad by pretending to be a white supremacist!"

---

social construct.

the English, Scottish, German, Irish and more ethnicities have been thrown together and had their cultures diluted for the sake of creating and expanding the social construct.

nothing questionable about Irish Pride, Welsh Pride, etc... it's when you choose to hop onto the social construct bandwagon and adopt that philosophy.

but whatever.

also, stop getting trolled by bots.

How do people go "How is #blahblah trending" without getting that they are making it trend with outrage.

Also It's pretty pathetic how easily people get baited with this.

Just go "ok" or even if you want to go "It's okay to be human" (because this whole thing is a spin on black lives matter) but getting legitimately angry over what is a accepted line makes you look terrible.

lol I put in "wight boy" on google and that shitty Tom Macdonald song came up.

lmao just saw this:
Ok but you can't be racist against white people so

is this the point in the topic where we talk about how you cant be racist against the majority as racism itself is inherently structural and systematic but you can most certainly be prejudiced and biased against the majority race, and those three terms arent fully interchangeable

What sort of weird ass definition of racism are people reading in the dictionary these days.

It is tho

Even though it's mostly trolling there, on Twitter it actually makes sense if you consider all the Anti-White Racism that is allowed to flow freely on that platform. It's not even subtle.

what the hell are you talking about

You most certainly can be biased against or prejudice towards a majority ethnicity, but as a societal whole it is not true racism.

In the case of the U.S, that majority is white.

point to a time where policies were actively put in place to oppress and suppress white people in U.S

reminding someone that they come from a position of privilege is not the same thing as putting them down. which are they doing?

it sounds like you're talking about isolated cases of parental abuse. either that or you're making stuff up.

true racism

are you actually gatekeeping racism?

People should just respond with #ItsOKToBeHuman or #AllLivesMatter

Kaiganeer posted...

I mean you can go full meme if you would like instead of trying to refute what I said but that doesnt change the fact racism towards a majority ethnicity, especially when it comes to whites people in the U.S, is not a thing, and what is being described is prejudice and bias.

---

Kaiganeer posted...

factually, racism is a systemic issue. discrimination at the individual level is only one part of it. if that's the only issue that someone faces due to their race, they are not facing racism.

you attempting to redefine the concept of racism in order to be racist is not worth refuting tho

while this is largely correct, I feel obligated to point out that racism as a systemic issue is not contingent on one race being the majority of the population. whites were not the majority in apartheid south africa, yet they were still the ones in power

Im not redefining what racism is. That is what racism is.

This is true though and I specifically meant in the context of the U.S but my wording was bad

I hope the mods close this stupid topic soon, we do not need this kind of bullshit up.

---

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in order for this to work wouldn't someone first have to say that It's not OK to be white? Like, did someone tell them it wasn't OK to be white?

Anyway, don't get trolled by 4chan memes.

The real problem is no one should be giving these twitter bait accounts attention. But both sides will play the victim there on twitter as they are here on CE. When the rational reaction to a tweet like that is a chuckle and move on.

There were allegedly tweets where people were saying "All I want for Christmas is a white genocide" and shit along those lines. But knowing the internet that could also be some 4chan trolls, too.

Agree.

White Power topics have way more longevity on these boards than they have any right to.

wat

The other topic was basically saying "How do we keep America white".

This one is just a link to a tag on Twitter and it's obviously spurred conversation / debate about what words mean, why this is trending, etc.

so...
how does anyone see any pro "white power" BS in this topic?

regardless of the intent and validity of the posts about white genocide, whites are not systemically disadvantaged. there is no historical precedent for a white genocide, and there is no chance of it actually happening.

How can you defend advocating the mass extermination of *any* racial/ethnic group? That's pretty sick, dude.

"It's OK to talk about killing all white people because it's not a realistic scenario".

You people really need to learn the difference between racism and institutional racism and try to understand that definitions of words dont change because some white guilt ridden loser at a university says they do.

They like, say mean things when white police officers kill black children and whatnot.

Its just so scary to be a white person in 2019. I hope 2020 is much better.

I never defended any posts or said they were ok. I was attempting to frame your post within its proper context

here's a previous post I did in this topic that is also part of the context:

As a minority I never got why that phrase got so much hate from mostly white people. I mean, is it not ok to be white? Is it a joke to mock white people?

---

Sad_Face posted...

I don't understand why people thought it was okay to say "Eff white people" and every other variant to the point where some kids growing up now don't think they have the right to be happy or to talk about their problems because they're white living in the US.

Pretty much this.

---

yeah agreed, not every white person is racist and hateful towards minorities/LGBTQ/etc. Just mindless generalizing

---

Spending time on social media and reading through discussions on phrases like that has taught me there are a whole lot of people who really relish being racist towards whites and get super defensive when you out them on it.

---

SH_expert44 posted...

I havent seen this one before

More proof that these people have never ventured into actual comedy. Pretty much every white comedian these days have bits about how they love being white. The thing is, they acknowledge that it's because the world is so unbalanced in their favor. And these people have fans from all backgrounds. These comedians just want to be white and victims as a double tip into privilege. Plus it keeps the attention on them and people distracted.
