Group of black teens attacks a guy. Minor injuries. What’s the reddit thread filled with?

“carry a gun” “cops on every corner” “animals”

what gets downvoted? me mentioning generational poverty.

death to the whites.

Edit: came back, didn’t think this would blow up the way it did, but it has been hilarious how many bad takes are from people with an @ in their username. This hilarity is why i love HexBear.

    I don’t know, I think theres quite a gap bewteen actively shitting on white nationalist tropes and concepts and screaming “im one of the good ones!” at every poc who walks by

    And reducing that spectrum to “because you hate yourself or your parents or whatever” is ironically enough, also cringe

    Hate to point out the obvious, but white supremacy won’t dissappear unless “white people” actaully talk about it and I’ve read enough Thanksgiving posts on this site to know alot of you patsy mfs got some white citizens council-ass family members who need a good talking to

      No I agree, I think it’s good to point that out. I just feel like a lot of the responses here are “I’m white but it’s okay because I hate myself”.
      Yeah my reduction is cringe too. I tried to keep the tone joking, so it wouldn’t come off as too serious, but I can see how I messed that up.

      Honestly, talking achieves nothing. I really don’t think theres much point in trying to do outreach to people who aren’t in the right material position to be reached to. You’re essentially wall-talk

      People don’t change till shit changes. The most charismatic commie motherfucker ain’t gonna move his racist uncle an inch if that racist uncle had incentives to stay the way he is. So starting a struggle session over the turkey is just a waste of energy.
