My favorite account on Twitter is LibsofTikTok. Not for their content, but because they are so hated and called out for spewing hate by the left. All they do is, literally, post things people on the left post. Yet somehow that makes the people on the left who made the content victims, and LibsofTikTok an outlet of hate. Someone make it make sense.

Anyway, here's today's example of black people can't be racist...

Oh, and I just saw another video of her dancing around in the surf in a bikini (she should NOT be wearing) with her white boyfriend... WTF?

Really? Is it?

I mean, I guess for them it is, since they are white.

They may be right, and this sentiment is not exclusive to Trump voters. Polls have been showing that more and more white people from both sides of the aisle are getting fed up with constantly being told they're the bad guy.

Whitey definitely holds more power positions, by a lot, which makes the upward climb harder for other races (although Asians don't seem to be having any issues...). However, it also very socially acceptable to be openly racist towards only one race, and that's whitey. Whitey also has the fewest legal protections based on their skin color. Black people also kill and/or commit violent acts towards white people far more than vice versa, and considering the population percentages, it's quite concerning.

Ultimately, I would have asked back, "Why are we ok with ANY racism? Racism is not exclusively anti-black nor is it only something whitey is behind."

The U.S. is the most diverse country in the world and racism will naturally be an issue because humans are fucking dumb. But, and this will be a controversial take, we're better at diversity than anyone else. Sorry, but just because your country treats its .05% of minorities well doesn't mean shit. Call me when their population is large enough to influence elections. Right France, England, Netherlands, South Africa, etc.?

"why are we ok with any racism" is negated by the conventional wisdom that it is impossible to be racist against white people.

A lot of people believe this.

Sadly, this is true.

I have been learning that a shockingly large amount of people think only white people ever enslaved anyone, only black people were enslaved, slavery only existed here in the U.S., that white people went to Africa to capture Africans, and so on. When confronted with the actual facts, the most frustrating response, because it is so self-serving, has been "But the U.S. was worse to its slaves than anyone else."

People just want to be victims. It's so much easier to wake up every day and thinking the world is against you, than to wake up knowing you're the reason you haven't succeeded in life.

Hollywood and corporate America are abandoning DEI.

You already know what those in favor of DEI are saying. What they don't understand is business. If a company isn't raking in the cash and one department isn't critical to operations or bringing in revenue, it's expendable. That department is even more of a liability if it is at least partially responsible for the company's revenues being down.

....... does that mean if he approaches a white person, that white person is allowed to just start shooting, and call it self defense?

Boondocks had an episode like that. It was impossible for Huey to offend the old white people, because old white people knew their lives were great and just didn't care what his opinion was. "Ronald Reagan was the Devil." "You're so well spoken."

That meme is hilarious, but also pretty racist.

There have to be non-white people pissed off about it.

Black supremacist teacher is fired.

She's proud to be racist? Doesn't she realize black people can't be racist? :roll:

Agreed. Attractive, but a horrible human being.
