David, a member of the community, told Sky News, “It wouldn’t be controversial for any other racial group to do the same thing.” Similarly, Niki, said people have a “large misunderstanding” about the community, claiming it’s “a loving movement.”
Exclusion is all about love. Didn’t you know? I love you so much that I don’t want you near me.
Csere also accepted that some would call him and the group racist saying, “I don’t really know or care if that term applies to me or not.”
The only people who don’t care if they’re called racist are racists. I care if I’m called racist. I know that much.
Let’s ask him if he knows or if he cares if the term pedophile is applied to him and see how he reacts. Bet he won’t care one bit!
I could see someone trying to spin black etc. only community as “excluding the oppressors” or saying that people are rightfully threatened and stuff like that. And that it isn’t racist since it targets whites and racism is only when white people do it.
I’ve seen some of that in a more wacky communities but would be pretty bold to try that out irl instead of some online community
you mentioned it would be bold for a Black-only community to try to exist IRL, and that’s accurate - those communities even when just majority Black without exclusion policies have historically been oppressed and met with physical violence… Same with indigenous communities and so on, turns out white settler-colonial culture is intolerant and violent.
ah, didn’t realize you meant “racism” as meaning anti-white. To be honest I do think the relevant aspect of what makes something racist is the direction of the flow of power.
When a marginalized group is persecuted or oppressed by a dominant group, it’s the oppression and power difference that is relevant even more than the narrow sense in which group categories are used to make decisions. This is why affirmative action is not racist, for example.
yes, I’m somewhat reiterating a view you were originally criticizing - though I’m doing that because you pointed it out, not sure a “yes, actually” is really a “called it” moment, but sure - let’s go with that anyway, it’s almost Friday 😄

there are also white people love to call other POC more racist than they are too.
To be fair, when have CIS white men ever had power in this country? They’re just fighting to get a fair shot, which they’ve never had. /s
We should just call all right-wingers pedophiles. And whenever they voice an opinion, just say “shut the fuck up, pedophile!”
The Lovings are turning in their graves. This is more of a Virginia movement.

angry white people have been attacking communities of color for a long time in this country

Right but what does that have to do with what I said

No I mentioned it would be bold to try to excuse the racism with the mentioned stuff

Oof, called this in my first comment
