Just because you have no life, a demonstrable inferiority complex and are only capable of expressing it through hate and ignorance does not mean you get to spend all day harassing someone clearly better than you in every way.

Silence is compliance. Being comfortable with your white privilege is like taking blood money, it’s a deliberate “fuck you” to the people whose lives were pushed down for your sake.
That comment is basically white people. Their empathy doesn’t extend 5 feet outside of themselves, so of course they’d be incapable of sacrifice for the greater good of everyone. All they care about is soothing their own souls (or the lack thereof). I don’t know if it’s more pathetic that this “person” said it…
In order for nonwhites to band together, nonblack PoC need to address the colorism/racism in their communities that creates such a lingering divide between them and Black people. Asian and Latinx communities both share the fact that they are economically and politically weaponised against the Black…
Exactly. Funny how that works, isn’t it? Sorta akes you wonder if anime would be as popular as it is if the characters didn’t look so white.
Whether they “look” Japanese or Asian is irrelevant, because anime is tied to Japanese culture by location, language, culture and most importantly, creative control. If you want to raise that point, blame the Japanese for fawning over whiteness and white features. That’s a problem within the Asian community as a…
No, somewhat and somewhat—though the second question is for the most part too large a scope for this particular article. Addressing the first, I said that Emmett Till is more or less known to virtually everyone in America, very few haven’t heard of him. My main focus is that third question.
We don’t have to presume, boo.
When something personal to a mother who lost her child to racist violence while the entire Black community that mourned with her is repackaged in a way that decenters it from the genocidal racial injustices that precipitated it, then that shows the artist is either not fully capable of understanding or willingly…
That was... fast...
This one’s so pitiful. It only took one word to kill this one.
Anime.
White women: having their cake and eating it too since... ever.
White privilege at its finest, everybody! And boy does she look good while showing it! Who’s with me?
White magic: the best way to make any sense of nuance in a discussion, disappear!
The North is not immune to racist hatred and violence. Neither is Europe. Using those to escape the conviction of the current scope is a pretty pathetic strawman.
Are not what? Based on good or neutral intentions? I’ll assume that’s what you meant. I don’t need to be omniscient to analyse this situation within the fullness of its scope, nor is my reasoning based in malice.
Not malicious intent, just the tone-deafness that comes with a neutralized stance on something that is not. Elimination of nuance is the first step to appropriation, because you either do not or choose not to understand the greater meaning of a particular action or practice. Such happened in this case, and if you read…
We have to accept that seeing virtually any white woman as the victim in any situation is the norm around here.
