This tells you everything you need to know about the sort of people who put up these posters.
At this point, what isn't white supremacy? "I got a bad beat while playing poker, this is white supremacy manifest!"

- i8comments 3y agoTo play devil's advocate, and very lax with what they might have meant, if you replace the term "white supremacy" with the also commonly misused term "fascism", and assume that by "fascism" they very loosely meant "an excess of law and order to the point that it is suffocating and damaging", and assume that they value greater personal freedom and less than balanced order like anarchism... Wait, I see now where this goes, and they still don't have a point. My bad.

- whatindaheck 3y agoThis struck me as weird too but I didn’t want to bring it up. There is a lot of racism associated with how drugs are viewed and handled in the US today. That needs taken into account. We need to keep that information alive. At the same time, we’re in the middle of an opioid crisis. Meth seems to keep rising in popularity (my opinion, no data). Black, white, yellow, or pink it doesn’t matter. People are dying left and right. Context is important to understand how we got here and how to get out. But what we equally need is working together towards a solution. Screw those racist white dudes. However, if we spend all our time complaining about dead racists instead of working to overcome it…We get nowhere. I’d be more than happy to listen to other viewpoints. We all have blind spots. This country needs to do more to eradicate racism. But this campaign ain’t it.
