I can’t even imagine what it must be like to be that frightened and insecure.
I imagine it’s quite frightening
And insecure
that’s one thing I never truly understood about grievance culture — they are the one group of people who can ignore all this and just piss away the days doing whatever they want, whenever they want to, and instead, they spend their lives destroying their bodies with cortisol.
if I had the confidence of a mediocre white man, I’d be famous.
My assumption is simply that they’re such complete losers - such an awful combination of ignorant, angry and stupid - that being white and heterosexual are literally the only things they have going for them - that they have nothing of any actual value to offer to anyone.
And that’s why they rage against “DEI” and “woke” and “race theory” and so on - because if they were to lose the built-in cachet that comes from being white and heterosexual, they’d have nothing at all.
Because yes - if they had anything at all of any value to offer anyone, they could focus on that instead, and pursue it with the built-in advantages of being white and heterosexual. That they don’t pretty strongly indicates that they can’t.
my personal experience agrees. I think this is what is powering Qanon as well — a deep, wrestling anxiety over the thought that they might have enabled really terrible things happening around them.
Like, for God’s sake, this entire thing started with John Podesta supposedly emailing someone about a “cheese pizza,” which is a term that is probably, unfortunately, deeply familiar to anyone who had precocious levels of Internet access in the early 2000s.
Basically, it is not a code word that a 70 year old man would use in 2014, in public email, on the campaign trail. In fact, he was ordering, literally, a fucking pizza for his staff.
And meanwhile, their hero president is a rapist who was best friends with and a regular guest of the most high profile child sex abuser and procurer in American history.
I would think that much cognitive dissonance would actually be painful.
Maybe it is, and that helps explain their constant misdirected seething rage.
They just can’t handle anyone being happier than them.
TIL being gay gets your white card revoked
When my husband and I travel through certain towns in Northwest AR, one of us takes our matching wedding rings off, and we’re brothers, in case the car breaks down - you want to plan your story ahead.
That is sad that you have to do that to feel safe.
Imagine Traveling While Black™, and wondering if it’s safe to even stop for food or gas in whatever tiny little area you’re in.
It’s a lot harder to take off skin than it is a ring.
Now imagine you’re the first ever black female MP in the UK, who points out just what you’ve stated, and you get kicked out of your party for it.
Oh, wait, silly me, you don’t have to imagine. That happened.
I am Trans I am well aware of the struggles.
This reminds me - repulsively - of what Blacks went through in the mid-20th century. I’m sorry for you.
(And as an aside, “Lovecraft Country” by Matt Ruff is a fantastic supernatural horror set during Jim Crow laws.)

These never stopped being a thing. They’re called “Sundown” Towns; if you ain’t welcome you’d better be gone by sundown.
Wait, for real? That’s a thing? What happens at sundown?
Take a wild guess what a town full of racists would do to a non-white person under cover of darkness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching
like racist vampires.
They beat you and drive you out of town, if not just kill you. It was a real thing, probably still is in some places. I imagine they are making a come back since Trump

That’s not what it means in this case. Sundown towns get their name from their origin of not allowing black people to be there at night (after sundown)
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!
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.
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
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
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.
No I mentioned it would be bold to try to excuse the racism with the mentioned stuff
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.
Oof, called this in my first comment
Look, whoever gets filthy rich doing what I’m about to suggest doesn’t even have to pay me. Maybe name a street Octopus Ink Lane and I’ll know we have an understanding. That’s enough for me.
Here’s your money maker:
If there can be a city that isn’t going to allow nonwhites or queer folks, then there absofuckinglutely can be a city that doesn’t allow magas or registered Republicans.
And all but 77 million of us would love nothing more than to live in just such a city.
There you go, just remember the little folks when you are rolling around in your swimming pool full of cash.
Their town exists for one reason: to oppress others. The residents of that town will quickly learn that once there are no minorities, they will become the minority.
its like the liberterian experiment, they soon will find out they have no economy or public services going to the town.
banjos intensifying
The west African instrument? That’s getting confiscated
Eyes too close together. Dumbo ears sticking out. Losing his hair. Behold, the master race!!!
Dude looks like an GenAI image generator had a stroke during generation
Lol, Arkansas. It’ll implode within a year after someon in leadership finds out his sister’s baby isnt his.
Trump administration:
“We hear there’s a Wonderful Community starting up in Arkansas, really great stuff, it should be a model for the rest of the country! We’re denying all federal aid to any state that refuses to follow the lead of this Wonderful Community!”
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Based on the title it’s a “some whites only”
They keep saying ‘European ancestry’ like they don’t actually mean white only, but that describes a huge portion of people in the US who wouldn’t be considered and don’t consider themselves white. Three guesses on how quick that ‘European ancestry’ interest and solidarity evaporates around anyone who isn’t white, first two guesses don’t count.
are they even descended from the caucuses in Europe, im pretty sure white russians are. or they want to refer to northern white English or german descent of the UK.
Tell me about your dream mosque
They’re paying people to remove all spices from food
I had already seen the article and a video about It. Good let them stay there, then you trap them in their community with no way out. No outside world, no outside food, no outside other tyan their stupid community. See how they like it
Now they just need to build some tall fences. Not the inhabitants, the people outside the town. put up warning signs and lock the gates
This is how Farcry 5 started isn’t it??
Who will do the work they don’t want to do? I suspect they’ll find a societal preference there. How long will it take for Stamford like behavior towards these future "new blacks / Irish / Asians etc. in this phew-topia.
