🚨Warning Black people!🚨
Another famous white person with trash views has died! Do not use their own words against them, or *moderators may be forced to ban you!🤡
Do not mention that "1000 years of darkness" is a white nationalist and great replacement dog whistle!
Don't mention birtherism!

(*This is not an issue if you're on a well moderated instance on Mastodon, or if you get BlackSky moderation with BlueSky, because they know what they're doing. But random Mastodon or BlueSky moderation could get you banned for not mourning the death of racist white people hard enough🤡).

This racist dude was good at kicking people in the head.

This great American hero was good at kicking people in the head!
❌Bad:
Birtherism is a super racist movement that led to the alt-right, Project 2025, and where we are today.
✅Good:
I like Walker Texas Ranger!

What's important is that a lot of white people *do* like them!
And when you read racists' own horrible words back to them, it gives a lot of these other white people sad feelings!
I know that you Black people prefer Bruce Lee. Especially Black people in Los Angeles and San Francisco and Oakland and Berkeley.
But again, this isn't about you.

But again, this isn't about you.
Stop being selfish!

Hell, I'm not sure I prefer *anybody* to Bruce Lee. I sit down to watch a Bruce Lee movie and the whole time I'm just going "this is the coolest motherfucker who ever lived."

in reply to mekka okereke • • •as I’ve gotten older I’ve found white people’s inability to cope with the realization that the casual racism/sexism we were exposed to as children was not, in fact, a universal experience obnoxious
Constantly talking about “childhood ruined” and all that and completely missing the point that this wasn’t a secret, we’re just ignorant and late to the party
Like, it was always this way, we just grew up in an environment where we didn’t see that (and often reaped the benefit of it)

in reply to mekka okereke • • •It's never a good sign when quoting someone is deemed offensive rather than seeing the quote itself as offensive.
Charlie Kirk? He had recently said that dead kids were just the cost of his being able to own his guns. Shrug. So, he would've been fine with being murdered with a gun. Shrug. Just the cost of others being able to hold onto their guns.
That people would suddenly become outraged by his own words being used? Crazy talk.

Because when someone tries to do something good, that's what's going through the mind of the person attempting the good, right?
*Top on the list: I want folks decades down the line to consider me justified*
Not "Suffering was avoided" or "People live better lives."
Nope.
How do you say your motives are questionable and you know it without explicitly saying so?

in reply to mekka okereke • • •One of my coworkers made one of those "Chuck Norris is so strong" jokes once, and I said he was a pretty bad guy so I didn't care to lionize him.
He said, "Just because he disagrees with you doesn't mean he's a bad guy."
I shot back with, "Depends on what we disagree on." I never heard another Chuck Norris joke from him. So, mission accomplished I guess.
sigh I bet he says one on Monday, though.

in reply to Azuaron • • •@Azuaron I didn’t know about Chuck and his views. I have a genuinely heartwarming and funny Chuck Norris story, that is rather personal. I told it to one person yesterday before I found Mekka’s thread, and now I regret telling it.
I’m not glad he’s dead but I’ve got better things to think about and put my energy into. Sure I’m sad about my story, but it is a personal one and I’ll just have to recontextualize and think about it on my own.

I find it hard to accept this amount of racism and to accept the acceptance of it all around. But this makes it so important to open your eyes to the issue. We cant solve it as long as we CHOOSE not to see it.

in reply to mekka okereke • • •I never really knew much about Chuck Norris. He had a television show, I think. And I think he knew martial arts. If it weren't for the jokes based on him, I would have thought that Chuck Norris was a second baseman with the Minnesota Twins who then joined the hated New York Yankees.
I watched the video. In it, there is a quote that is misattributted to Edmunde Burke. The misattributted quote is "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Lots of people misattribute it, that's not what is notable. What is notable is that Chuck Norris says "good men and women".
How DEI/woke of him! I wonder why he wasn't pilloried by the then-teabaggers (remember them?!) for that.
