no, JFC. Again, show me the white supremacy part. I'm not being sarcastic, I really want to know where you see that. Because as a rule I think humans suck, and the idea that any of us is "superior" makes me almost physically ill. IDGAF about the clowns in this thread, but I do care about that.
Every single white person in America, myself included, is complicit in upholding white supremacy. Until and unless we reckon with that, nothing will change for the better. Gavin Newsom is a bigot and a phony. A woman of color runs his socials, those aren’t even his jokes. Why do you support him?
I don't know Gavin except for his stupid Covid fuckups and his meme team is absolutely knocking it out, that's all. I am thoroughly sick of the tossing out of the good while we wait for perfect. Otherwise, yeah, you're right, IMO. I get wary around "every single person", as exceptions do occur.
I’d encourage you to get to know him. Dig a little deeper. Listen to the people calling you out instead of getting defensive.
- and I do appreciate you taking the time to chat.
Sure thing. It’s what ALL white people should be doing. Instead of coming up with the cutest signs to wave at the next 50501 party, we need to be amplifying the voices of the oppressed.
After I'm called a nazi, I'm gonna be defensive. I'm a lot of things, some of them nasty, but a fucking white supremacist is not one of them. As an idiot in a hurry, I see two men fighting, Newsom & Trump, so I picked Newsom. As good Dem reps fail purity tests, GOP gives no shits and here we are.
I see two men fighting, so I picked the more digestible one. How about, I see two white men fighting to preserve a system built on white supremacy, so I pick the one who makes me less uncomfortable with my own biases and blind spots.
A white supremacist is anyone who actively benefits from the same systems and institutions that oppress and kill propel of color. Defensiveness doesn’t serve anyone.
No. A white supremacist is one who believes the white race is superior to all others. By your definition, anyone with a smartphone or a computer or probably even shelter, is a white supremacist. "Defensiveness doesn't serve anyone" you say in between attacking me and defending yourself.
We are either actively dismantling systems of oppression or we are actively benefiting from them. There’s no in-between.
I haven’t attacked you. And I’m not defensive. I know my position is correct, I’ve no reason to defend it to a stranger on the internet who worships Gavin Newsom
And how has voting for the lesser of two evils worked out for us thus far? If Kamala had won, white liberals would have felt more comfortable ignoring genocide. We’d have gone back to feeling like the govt had our backs. We’d go back to ignoring the systemic failures enacted by white supremacy.
You’re a democrat. You’re touting Gavin Newsom. These things lead me to believe that You don’t want actual change, you want to get back to the status quo as quickly as possible and you think electing democrats is going to do that. Am I close?
No, not a dem, Ind, and there is no going back IMO. but that was a legit good try on your part. Gavin's team is fighting back successfully in the meme space and I applaud it. And that's not white supremacy. Again, for the 3rd time, if you can, show me where I'm supporting white power theory. Thx
Fighting back successfully in the meme space. The meme space? The what??
The fact that you’re applauding a white man for doing literally NOTHING but hiring a woman of color to run his socials IS an example of white supremacy.
