@RichardDoom@mastodon.social @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @pixelatedbrat @EndlessWario Of course, as a fellow PoC of COURSE your opinion matters. It would also matter if you were white, but only so long as you arent being rude and using race to try to invalidate someone else.
@freemo @RichardDoom @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario Saying that there is no "white culture" is in no way harmful to white people, it's just true. Literally the only thing that ties whites together in the US is white privilege born out of white supremacy.
@pixelatedbrat @RichardDoom@mastodon.social @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario I never claimed it was harmful to white people. I only claimed it is a false statement.
@freemo @RichardDoom @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario I'm beginning to think you're not a real doctor.
@pixelatedbrat @RichardDoom@mastodon.social @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario What my fediverse credentials arent convncing.?
By the way for the record this is how I and other admins (you know the racists you keep talking about) have greeted every single minority or LGBT person who has joined us (and we have a HUGE community here of both).

@freemo @RichardDoom @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario No, it was your apparent problem with reading comprehension, not your credentials. I never called anyone a racist at all.
@pixelatedbrat @RichardDoom@mastodon.social @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario I am not refering to you specifically, only the crowd of people with pitch forks. You have apparently taken sides with that collective.
@freemo @RichardDoom @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario I'm not calling anyone racist, I'm just saying you're wrong. There is no overarching "white culture" except white supremacy. White ppl in the US have individual ethnic inheritances that make it possible to celebrate their family backgrounds, unlike the descendants of the enslaved and colonized populations.
@pixelatedbrat @RichardDoom@mastodon.social @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario Now if your argument is simply that ht eblack community has a STRONGER cultural bond than white people due to their very sad and difficult history. Then I'd say that is certainly a fair assessment. But to claim that white people lack any sense of culture just because their cultural bond is less than blacks would be untrue.
@pixelatedbrat @RichardDoom@mastodon.social @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario when I said "any sense of culture" I was talking about their collective culture. Their evident shared cultural practices that are due to thousands of years of changing borders and intermingling due to close geographic proximity. Just as asians have a collective culture (as well as more localized cultures), and southern americans have their own as well.
I would even go so far as to say that there are different levels of cultures at every scale. There
is, for example a human culture that is world wide (which wouldnt really be worth mentioning unless aliens visited us one day).
Culture is not limited to borders or even to how you identify. It is developed through shares experiences over time. Put people close to each other over time and a shared culture will emerge with just a few generations. Hell there is even a "south philly italian" culture despite it being just a few generations old in many places.
@pixelatedbrat no way, a german and a european-american automatically become best friends when they meat because White
@skrrt_vonnegut I know, all Europeans love white Americans. It's great. There are never any cultural misunderstandings there.
@freemo @RichardDoom @Jurassicnps @bluepurplerain @EndlessWario I absolutely didnt say not imply that white people don't have "any sense of culture." I have literally said and reiterated that there is no such thing as "white culture."
