A lot of people that claim that MLK jr was somehow loved by all and better than today's civil rights leaders, are just lying.

A lot of people claiming that "Black Lives Matter" or "Defund the Police" are bad marketing, and that they would support these movements if they were named something better like "Non-violent march," are just lying. It's not the phrase that these people object to. It's the underlying principle. They do not accept that current US policing is a negative on reducing crime.

They are really really good at the excuse game, they practice all the time.

Kids are pretty amazing, they can handle quite a lot. Racism has to be taught, it's not a natural state...

@mekkaokereke there are groups of white folks trying to squash teaching about slavery because it "makes kids feel bad", so it should be no surprise they want to whitewash and smooth over the legacy of Dr. King. It makes it easier for them to handle if he was a gentle non-violent, hat in hand kind of figure.

Anything else and they have to face their own and their families complicity in systemic racism. And that's a step too far for a lot of white folks. :(

I was taught from an early age to hold any object I was buying away from my body while shopping, lest I be accused of stealing. No under the arm holding of things, arms totally in front or to the side. I keep the receipt in my hand until I’m well out of the store. Any store. There are many different “talks” we have with our kids, not just the police talk.

@StillIRise1963 @aires I hate this. I hate that this is a thing. It should not be this way, but it is.

And those that think these days are the past are willfully blind to it. Even complicit.

So I've been on for nearly 10 days and I'm absolutely loving it. Far better place than , which is now just a Nazi website, to be honest. I love that this place is overall left-leaning, albeit there is a bit of cognitive dissonance with respect to some users who appear left-leaning until, Allah/God forbid, you mention .

Anyway, there's just one thing I've noticed so far. I'm kinda embarrassed to ask but... Where are all the Black people? Any Mideasterners here too? 😕

Yes, it’s your RESPONSIBILITY to stop racism when you hear it, see it happening. This is part and parcel of “we have to save ourselves, no one is coming to save us."

Sablebadger,
@Sablebadger@dice.camp avatar

@jargoggles @StillIRise1963 we all have to start somewhere, and really any attention will usually make these folks back up. They are cowards at heart.

Sablebadger,
@Sablebadger@dice.camp avatar

@StillIRise1963 This is a tricky one for the conflict averse. It's scary to put yourself out there.

however, it IS our responsibility.

I suggest for those just starting out, something like "Hey, that's not cool." as an opening line. Work your way up to "Hey, don't be a racist prick!"

I also found when I started using this on the bus (for example), most of the time the racist would immediately back down as soon as they realized they had an audience, or that someone might challenge them.

If you're smart enough to know when to use who vs. whom, you should also be smart enough to understand how they/them are used as pronouns.

Oh, that's right. This isn't about intelligence, it's about human decency.

@Alice yeah those folks are just being asshats.

@Alice my biggest hurdle in practice is not the smarts, it's the habits of decades.

I'm all in. And working hard on it, but I slip up on the regular out of habit. I will correct myself every time and keep putting the effort in.

Propaganda Platforming the head of state of a direct and persistent enemy of the US can't really be considered anything else.

truth though, my kid went from being a little kid to a teen ager over the pandemic, and I can tell you this, his generation is going to have a LOT of problems down the road. That shit affected so much more than we think.

Also good on you for listening to your grandfather, history is important. We need to know it, learn from it, so we don't do the same fucking thing again.

No matter if they think it makes white kids sad to learn history. I'm sorry for your sadness little white Billy, now get over it and don't be racist.

It is with great sadness that I learned about the passing of an amazing artist. Jeffrey Veregge.

https://bleedingcool.com/comics/marvel-valiant-idw-comics-artist-jeffrey-veregge-dies-aged-50/

His art was an amazing intersection of native and comic styles.

His art was inspiring, and amazing and the world is lessened by his absence.

@GottaLaff he must be so angry! he has so little control, and he's used to being pampered and deferred to like royalty.

Now 4 days a week he has to sit still, be quiet, and pay attention. Three things he is not good at.

And no golf to cheat at, no gold toilets, no hamburgers to consume, no adoring fans...

He must think this is what hell is. :)

Shit yesterday the subject of white privilege was discussed in college 😐. I got in a big ass argument with this white guy 😅😅.
Basically he said ' Jaden you got the same chances in life I got . Actually you got more because you are black and companies want to increase diversity '. 🤷🏿

Sablebadger,
@Sablebadger@dice.camp avatar

@Jaden3 That's the "white victim" narrative. It's bullshit, but it's easy for the privilege to believe. they have to believe it, their entire identity is wrapped up in it. and change is scary. :)

I think of this quote a lot in situations like these, no idea who said it originally.

"When You’re Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression"

It's all bullshit of course. dude needs to get over himself. Glad you stood up to him. fuck that guy.

@Jaden3 For me, Stevie Wonder has always been about the bass lines. SW himself never had a big an impact on me, but the bass grooves? OH FUCK YEAH, I feel that shit deep in my soul.

I mean, SW is a god, that's without a doubt. He put together some amazing bands and produced music that should love forever.

People (on the left) griping about Biden's age, when he has a younger POC woman VP ready to step in.

So, the age narrative is a dumb one that benefits trump.

So yeah, let's pass on the Biden is old Narrative please.

And you throw the whole genocide joe thing at me I'm gonna block you.

Not because the issue isn't real, it totally IS, rather because the issue is really goddamn complex and trying to simplify it down to a catchy slogan like that only benefits Trump and Russia.

#JustFinished Eversion by Alastair Reynolds.

This is a lovely, slow book. Reynolds takes us through the time of a life lived on repeat, through the unraveling of the mystery, and to the hope of happy endings. Quite masterfully done.
