I never, ever use the term "reverse racism". But I will be accused of it.
This picture shows that these people are creating a silo where they only allow the politically correct party line.

@dietrich
Seems like an okay request to make, offhand?

@ceoln By itself. But that mentality is spiralling. And they egg each other on into victimhood etc etc. Then they want reparations.

Mention all the times you as a white person were subject to violent crime/POC perps, you'd be lucky if it was just crickets.

But no then that makes YOU are racist.

@dietrich
I'm not sure who "they" is, here? Could be that there are just some people you don't want to engage with. That's true of everyone. :)

@ceoln they-those who post "blacks/poc only" threads which are full of falsities and diss on white people and overgeneralize and the woke white people who parrot what they are being told and say you are a racist if you don't toe the line.

Wish I could engage but they are like body-snatchers luring otherwise-interesting people into their cult of whatever the party line happens to be. It is necessary to be able to engage these folks to get any kind of coalition going unless you prefer to engage with QAnon crazies on the other side of the political fence.

@dietrich I would definitely not engage in "blacks/poc only" threads if you aren't black/poc. I mean, how could that possibly end well? :)

That isn't how coalition-building happens. Engage with potential allies in the ways and places where they are open to engagement.

@ceoln OK so then do you think that it will ever be acceptable to have "whites/caucasians only" threads?

@dietrich Probably not within our lifetimes. The situations of an oppressed group and a not-oppressed group are different, and different things are appropriate / acceptable for each.
