This is white supremacist?


https://www.timesherald.com/2022/01/17/lower-merion-officials-community-groups-report-signs-promoting-racism-and-white-supremacy-found-in-ardmore/

Saying Marxism or being anti-white is bad is "rACiSt"? I saw this on the news not an hour ago. None of the signs/stickers they showed said anything derogatory about minorities. Yet the people in the article describe them as "hateful" and "reprehensible".

Now, don't get me wrong, I do think there's a very good chance there are racist white people in the group that posted these messages. Maybe even all of them. But as is? These messages are not hateful. At all. you can sat BLM, but not WLM? Now, THAT'S racist.

Bump.

The issue is "WLM" only exists as a response to "BLM" so any mention of WLM gets thrown into the racism bin,

Blindly saying all black lives "matter".... nothing.

Bilindly saying "white lives matter"... WaHist!

I have no clue what you're whining about.

He is pointing out the complete idiocy of two statements that say the exact same thing, (except about different groups) being judged differently.


reply

more like his own idiocy for not understanding the issues people have with it.

reply

We understand that other people have "issues" with it. We also understand that you are unable to articulate what those issues are, in a way that does not look absurd. Which is why you hesitate to even try.

reply

No, you're just too stupid to understand the issues which is why I tried but got tired of idiots only repeating "but but what about thisism"

reply

I like that you know you can't defend your stupid claims.

reply

Of course you don't.

reply

How do you know that? At a BLM rally the other summer they were shouting “shoot the white folk”, clearly there are situations where White Lives don’t matter.

Me personally I prefer to say All Lives Matter, it’s far more inclusive than BLM or WLM.

reply

It's okay to be white.

reply

Not anymore.

The racists in charge will be on the wrong side of history.

I've never understood why people like you, OP, even bother to wade into politics if you are incapable of understanding such basic arguments. So, much like I would with a child, let me explain it to you via allegory

---

Let us say that you are a dog owner. And now let us pretend that there is a crazy person that likes to go around killing stray dogs. Your neighborhood becomes aware of the problem of a serial dog killer, so as a response you put up posters around the neighborhood saying "PLEASE, DO NOT KILL DOGS"

Now, a cranky neighbor who owns a bunch of cats and dislikes dogs comes along and tells you "Hey! What about my fucking cats?! So it's only wrong to kill dogs, but you're not putting up posters saying not to kill cats? That's discrimination against cats!"

Now you tell the neighbor "No, you're missing the point. We put up these signs because somebody is killing dogs!"

And your neighbor responds "But killing cats is also wrong!"

And you say "I never said it wasn't wrong! I'm just putting up signs about dogs because those are the the animals that the serial killer is targeting!"

And your neighbor says "Fuck you! Cat hating piece of shit! Take down your signs because they imply that cats don't matter!"

Now let us say that you identify the serial killer as that grumpy neighbor. However, he isn't WRONG that cats should also not be murdered, so some people who own cats begin to echo his rhetoric. They aren't dog killers, but they take his statements at face value: if cats should not be killed then how come there are only signs that say that dogs should not be killed? The dog owner victims must only care about dogs, and they don't care if cats die or not. It isn't wrong to say that cats also matter, right?

It isn't, obviously. The only problem is that the person who made that argument did so to deflect attention from his crimes

reply

You think this post would make sense to a child?

reply

Mebbe 😏

reply

Are you surprised people are actually saying this post is too difficult for them to understand?

reply

Nah, not at all. It's willful ignorance. Most people approach political issues with their minds already made up. It doesn't matter how you break down an argument, they'll just ignore it, misrepresent it, or try to explain it away

reply

It would, the problem is that adults are dumber than a 5th grader as proven by the reality TV show.

reply

....and you are a shining example of that.

reply

A white father not wanting his child to hate him for slavery from hundreds of years ago is RACIST.

Breathing, if it's a white man, is RACIST.

reply

If someone drove an actual, electrified Bradly tank that said "White Lives Matter" through a black neighborhood, it would be destroyed and anyone inside would be killed, whereas a Prius that said "Black Lives Matter" would go unnoticed, driving through a white neighborhood.

reply

If you drove that prius through a Trump neighborhood it would be reduced to rubble.

reply

No. Idiot.

FKN WOW
