I signed up to this site so that I could follow the Michael Brown protests back in 2014 as it seemed to be the only place that wasn't overwhelmed with racist garbage.

I remember that month like it was yesterday. I remember exactly how tense it was even though I was nowhere near Missouri.

This is different. It feels so different. This whole quarantine coupled with the unemployment numbers and police shootings makes me feel like something massive is going to happen or come from this.

While Trump has been on social media crying about antifa, claiming all protestors (he didn’t make a distinction between rioters and peaceful protestors for a reason, that’s important) need to be jailed 10 years, going in on the left etc.. He spoke with Putin today, a ‘former’ KGB officer. Trump gets his talking points from Putin and is clearly extremely influenced by Putin’s authoritarianism, down to attacking and trying to control the media, including his sad attempt to create government controlled media, just like a Putin did with RT.

Spends all his time attacking the left, while his idol is a ‘leftist’ authoritarian who extended his power by staging a false flag attack.

Seriously, this is a scary time in history and i’m not being paranoid, this is classic behavior and tactics from authoritarians to consolidate and extend their power.

i have a question, as a white person.. we’re told it’s our job to address others whites on their racism, call them out, etc.. i do that. i get into debates and arguments with racist whites on and offline. literally had a screaming match with my dad the other day, over it.. but in reality, it’s pointless to argue with racists because they don’t care about facts, aboot history, etc. you can’t and won’t change their minds so it’s like, what else should i do?

cause it’s really pointless. all the stuff about calling out other whites, i agree with that. but it’s honestly fruitless and makes zero difference.
Keep doing what you are doing. Do not stop. Even if you having a discussion with 10 and only get thru to 1. 1 less racist cac is better than none.

I don’t think i’ve ever ‘converted’ one, and i’ve been arguing with whites i know from high school, family, etc now going on 10+ years. Even when you do feel like you’ve made some difference, eventually when these things happen, they end up voicing their racism they been hiding in very covert ways.

And i will say, as a white poster on here, at times i’ve over stepped boundaries, said some things i shouldn’t have and been blind to my own behaviors, and i apologize for that. I just had to put thst out there, because while saying all that and typing that up, i realized and am aware how my attitude, threads and language and how i’ve communicated with black folks on here definitely isn’t innocent and i still have myself to work on, as well.
