What universe do you live in? Liberals are like this? 🤣
What exactly do you want me, the average white guy to do? Hang myself in the street because my ancestors were assholes? I acknowledge they were assholes and they built a system that fucks you over. I, a powerless cog in the machine, treat everyone with the same respect i expect for myself. I vote democrat because the alternative is worse for both of us, yet you still hate me. Okay.
> What exactly do you want me, the average white guy to do?
To join socialist organizations that try to destroy capitalism and end white supremacy, and to learn critical race theory and stop this bullshit victim complex that you have whenever anyone calls out the privilege of your group and how your group just fucks everyone else.
> I acknowledge they were assholes and they built a system that fucks you over.
Not just that. They keep upgrading that system to makes it worse and worse for non-whites. white people benefit from white supremacy which they enforce with systematic racism, hold almost all of the wealth of the country, hold the vast majority of the positions of power, are the least likely to be incarcerated unjustly while are the most likely to incarcerate black and brown people unjustly and tend to vote right wing and right wing policies against marginalized groups. Also they own the most amount of stolen land from native people and refuse to give it back. They are the ones who vote against constructing affordable housing in their neighborhoods to keep marginalized groups away, while they keep enjoying the land that they stole. They refuse to give reparations to marginalized groups. They refuse to give the descendants of slaves the plantation land that they worked on. And they recently voted against ending prison slavery.
Hang myself in the street because my ancestors were assholes?
This is literally the most bullshit thing reactionary say to avoid any fucking accountability. You don’t hang yourself. You join Marxist organizations that work towards ending white supremacy, work towards giving the land back to native Americans and to give reparations to black people. But that is hard so you of course won’t do it. It is just so easy to whine that minorities just hate you and do nothing for them because that is the path of least resistance and you can keep benefiting of your white supremacy.
Why don’t you say: I know that my ancestors were demons so I work on orgs to prevent immigrants from being deported, that prevent black people to be unjustly incarcerated, that work for indigenous rights and tries to get rid of white supremacy by destroying capitalism
You won’t because it is so easy to throw a tantrum and complain from your position of privilege saying that you vote Democrat like if the democrats give a shit about anything while they make a genocide, and you call it a day.
That is just typical white complacency and that just does nothing more than to suit your ego for you to have peace of mind while you keep your privilege that your ancestors gave you with war crimes and your group currently maintains with immense violence and oppression against marginalized groups.
So everyone that doesn't put their life on hold and join you in protest is your enemy. Got it. Enjoy having very few allies. That's not how you win people over or start any sort of movement. Sympathizers are valuable to your cause too. Maybe you'll notice that eventually.
We need a Lemmy dictionary so someone can finally clarify what people mean when they say “liberal”
Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.
Is this what passes for bait these days? Shoo, go on, git. Back to your imageboard.
Tell me that you are a troll without telling me that you are a troll.
Shoo! Don't make me get the broom!
Or, get this, every white person in this meme is a different person, and the last one is completely unrelated to the above ones.
The last white person has original sin because other white people were racist pieces of shits.
How about we stop fighting racism with racism, and instead try to unite against the elites?
Tell me that you dont know shit about critical race theory without telling me that you don’t know shit about critical race theory. Lmao, you can’t be racist against white people because no other group has the means to actually oppress them.
Also, white people benefit from white supremacy which they enforce with systematic racism, hold almost all of the wealth of the country, hold the vast majority of the positions of power, are the least likely to be incarcerated unjustly while are the most likely to incarcerate black and brown people unjustly and tend to vote right wing and right wing policies against marginalized groups.

Get away of here with you cracker ass reverse racism bullshit. White people as a group are horrible pieces of shit.
Nice racism, bro. The literal dictionary definition of racism includes against white people. Whether the target is a marginalized group is not relevant whatsoever.
You just wants to be racist but also think you are morally right to be so, and posts like yours only serve the right-wing. Kindly remove your bigot self from Lemmy.
That's a lot of words for just saying "I love being a racist".
You hate somebody because of their skin color equals being racist, simple as that.
Welp. This will be stupid.
Here's a few questions for you. And you don't have to answer, just something to consider; What does the everyday white person in this day and age have to do with any of that? Why are you letting a hateful rhetoric control your life? When is the last time you had a discussion with someone not on the internet?
