That's because nobody says "I hate X" because they would, rightfully, be ignored. It's not a useful statement to try and publish and get to the top of Google. I just tried a few dogwhistle phrases and it's not hard to find people legitimately espousing these views.
Also: you can very easily find hate groups and where they hang out on the internet through Google. You'll also, correctly, find adequate warning that these groups are probably not places you want to be.
- at_a_remove 6y agoWeird. Hit Google and try "I hate men." Plenty of hits, from people expressing those views.
- Ntrails 6y agoHuh, weird. Resuming patrol.
- gremlinsinc 6y agoWhy do some whites, men, or white men, always want to be a victim when they're the cause of so much pain and suffering collectively? (I say this as a white man, but I don't presume that we haven't fucked up the lives of so many over the centuries). Maybe it's time for us to just STFU and let other minority groups take the lead and become our leaders because we don't know how to lead compassionately, maybe they can where we failed.

- jpd- 6y agoFor the same reason other groups complain when sweeping generalizations are made about them.
- gremlinsinc 6y agoThis one is kind of warranted. What color was Hitler? How many did columbus murder? Napoleon? Mussolini? How many have police murdered? How many times did blacks bomb an entire city of wealthy white people in America and get away w/ it? Okay what about the opposite? 0:1. Until we RIGHT the course, we ARE part of the problem.
- at_a_remove 6y agoLook up the Ruwandan Uprising: what color were they? Barbary Slave Trade: what color were they? Khmer Rouge: what color were they? People massacre one another at the drop of a hat, just learn some history. You have been taught to only fixate on the crimes of Caucasians and to ignore all others.
- gremlinsinc 6y agoI'm pretty sure the Ruwandan Uprising were different tribes of black people, so how does a internal conflict among people of the same race even weigh in to the conversation? That'd be more like the war w/ North and South Korea... I'm just fixating on the crimes of police, I could care less about other caucasians, I'm worried about police. Even blacks are more likely to kill blacks if they're wearing the blue uniform because of their indoctrination. The blue brotherhood becomes everything. What happens if a political ideology you don't agree w/ decides they want to be the police so they start getting jobs and become the police, maybe they start doing to white people what cops are doing to black people. What would you do if whites were treated 100% equal to blacks by police but not in a good way, still they sit on your neck, they just stop caring whether you're black or white. Get pulled over for speeding get out, and have a 50% chance of survival?
- at_a_remove 6y agoNah, you were talking about Hitler and stuff, now you switched topics because I pointed out a problem with your argument. If I point out crimes of police in other countries where whites are not the majority, you will just switch again. You've fixated on white people, white men, as being evil. That's your fixation, not the crimes of police. I will leave you to it.
- at_a_remove 6y agoBecause I am not about to be indoctrinated with relentless self-loathing on the basis of my skin color or sex, but most especially for past actions of other people over whom I had no control. To blame white men for the crimes of past white men, well, imagine if history worked like that everywhere. You could do the same with just about any particular group -- they've all exterminated or maltreated someone. And yet you have this focus on just the Caucasian ones (even ones with no history of colonialism in their regional past) ... who taught you to fixate on this? And whom does it benefit?
- gremlinsinc 6y agoI can be sympathetic and empathetic to blacks without hating my own skin color. It's called self-respect. I respect myself for not being a bigoted piece of shit like most cops are.
