"I am really tired of white women's tears." This is a plainly racist comment.

  Justification is "it's okay to punch up, just not punch down"
  • User23 6y ago
    One might argue that pragmatically being a member of a group that it's unacceptable to punch is superior to being a member of one that it is. For example historically in pretty much every culture the persons of civil and religious officials have been inviolate. The modern USA culture of contempt for leadership is clearly unsustainable and thus it will end. A Chinese colleague told me a joke a few years ago. "An American asked a Chinese, 'how does it feel to not be able to publicly criticize your President?' And the Chinese replied, 'How does it feel to not be able to publicly support yours?'"

      > A Chinese colleague told me a joke a few years ago. "An American asked a Chinese, 'how does it feel to not be able to publicly criticize your President?' And the Chinese replied, 'How does it feel to not be able to publicly support yours?'" Gonna put on my pedantic buzzkill hat for a second. I do actually find that joke to be funny, but it hides potential discussion of real differences behind a pithy comment. Being jailed for criticizing your president is much much worse than suffering social backlash for supporting a president that your chosen community has judged to be bad. Depriving someone of their freedom through legal force is not the same thing as people getting mad at you on the internet (even if that anger causes you to get fired). > The modern USA culture of contempt for leadership Give me leaders who aren't contemptuous and then we'll talk. They do exist, on both sides of the aisle, even though they sometimes seem to be in short supply these days.

    Whites are on track to becoming a minority in basically every Western White nation within 50 years. USA will be much sooner than that. The government, media, Hollywood, academia etc are openly racist in their denigration of Whites, hiring policies favouring non-Whites, public spending programs (500bn for blacks just announced), etc. By many metrics, Whites are down. Many anti-Whites are happily aware of that. Are you sure this is a precedent you want to set? Already I'm seeing many Whites champing at the bit to pull on their gloves and start punching up; and there will be no room for moral condemnation when they do.

  Eh. Its pointing out the concept of victimhood by the privileged class. I don't take it to be a blanket statement against all white women.

  Individual racism is far different from systemic and systematic racism.
  • ad_hominem 6y ago
    A Brahmin Indian immigrant like Sojwal is a pretty good contender for least-oppressed group in America. Top of the charts in income by ethnicity, college admissions, low crime rates. White people falling far behind east asians in practically every measurement shows what a crock of crap "systemic racism" is.

    Which one is the good kind of racism?
• oyouareatubeo 6y ago
  It's not possible to be racist to white people. It's not racist by definition.

    It's not possible to be racist to black people. It's not racist by definition. (For context, this is a response to the now-removed parent that said this of Whites.)

        Be happy! You're not oppressed. Quite the opposite, in fact.

    Next it won't be a crime to assault white people or take their property

        What if I go to Ghana and call for genocide of the N-words? Punching up, right? Not racist, right?
