We see a lot of media around why white people are racist, bad and immoral people.
That seems horribly racist. I personally haven't seen such dumb arguments even on the internet. I've seen plenty of arguments about why "the system" is racist (or not) but that's not the same.
Why don't we see that much media around how the wealthy class are greedy, bad and immoral?
I don't think many people think that way to begin with.
But there's plenty of class-based content on social networks. I cannot say I've ever seen them being deplatformed though.
- golergka 6y agoYou're right that it is horribly racist, but could you have not seen it? In left-leaning, democrat-favouring american media (which is most of it), it's everywhere.

A Critical Race Theory lecturer teaching that "All white people are racist" and "white people are born into not being human": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nupaP3IQwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nupaP3IQwM Critical Race Theory is not just on the internet but receives government funding and is taught in schools. It's interesting that "white people are not human" doesn't seem to violate any content moderation policies, or perhaps it's merely selective enforcement. This makes it very hard to believe that censorship is anything other than a power grab for political purposes. We're closer than we've ever been to an ideal of racial equality. The last thing we need is a New Racism that glorifies racial hatred and segregation.
