Comment on Another great advert from Threads. Not really looking like my kind of place.

Looks like a couple of white supremacists from here would feel more at home there though (hey lurkers - from kbin we can see you upvoting the racist blowing their dog whistle, you can't hide)..

In a vacuum, saying “it’s okay to be white” is fine.
Statements are never made in a vacuum, they’re made within society. They’re thus accompanied by context and realities, a ton of little nuances which all affect meaning.
In society, posting (or agreeing with someone posting) “it’s okay to be white” repeated multiple times is racist.
As per your last paragraph, who says we can only deal with one source of racism at a time? How does calling out racist dogwhistles negatively impact Jewish people or residents of Gaza?

But living life with the presupposition that everyone has full context is ridiculous. Someone who throws up the “OK” hand sign being confronted as a racist is as absurd as saying someone who agrees with those statements is as well. Not everyone has the same wealth of knowledge and to assume people are doing it as a dog whistle or out of malice is as harmful to the people fighting Nazis because to the layman they look like over sensitive kids hunting for problems where none exist.
‘Quiet racism’ is ambiguous, cascading grays that need a wealth of context to address properly. Why focus energy into needles in a haystack when there is a needle factory right next door? We have ‘Loud racism’ right there. We should prioritize it.

Making up shit that never happens to illustrate a point is not convincing

I'm calling people racists for being racists.
The fact that you care more about being called a racist than the actual racism being discussed says it all.
If being called a racist bothers you that much, just stop being one.

The problem is you’re so concerned with racism you’re willing to go the complete opposite direction. The type of person to say “black people can’t be racist to white people!” while saying the most racist shit possible. The type to be so overly concerned with the outcome you’ve boxed in your definitions so you can feel like a hero to the oppressed when in reality you’re just changing which class of people get oppressed. The Jews feel like they can’t possibly be as bad as the Nazis because they were victims as they now slaughter children taking shelter in hospitals.
I used them as a ‘debate tool’ to illustrate how an oppressed class can become the oppressors and you still let it soar over your head.

You are so fucking obvious. We all know exactly what you are trying to do and you keep exposing yourself as a racist while trying to concern troll. Just stop. You are ridiculous.

There’s one problem, some people conflate humanitarian sentiment for Palestinians as antisemitism. Is that part of what you’re calling racist? I haven’t seen racism on lemmy.world at least, so I am confused.

Not one educated person sees your plausible deniability and says “they got me. I can’t touch them!”
RealFknNito@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You’re right, because it’s shoot first and if we feel like it we can ask questions! They looked like a nazi after all, that’s their fault.

Wait, what? Since when is Kbin racist?
DessertStorms@kbin.social 8 months ago
I think you have misunderstood? Or have I missed a joke?
Either way - I'm on kbin, where votes are transparent, so I can see the who the people that are staying quiet but upvoting racists are, and am letting them know it (and blocking them while I'm at it). I hope that clears things up?AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Off the subject, but is there a good kbin mobile app?
Sheeple@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Okay you misunderstood. To explain. EVERY action on federated services is public and viewable on KBin. Your upvote, downvotes, etc.
That means we can see racists while (we) are using KBin
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Phew, I was about to be really disappointed because I like Kbin’s interface a lot.
