    Hasan Piker is a good example of what happens when you platform and give too much charitability to problematic white men with racist pasts they haven’t addressed. Ethan Klein, Asmongold, XQC, Adin Ross, etc. All these people were given obscene amounts of goodwill by him and platformed, only for them to turn on Hasan and immediately target other poc in their crash outs.

    I'm tired of this [CW: Anti-Mixed Rhetoric]

    Found someone in the comments of a video I was watching saying, “Kamala isn’t a sista, she is Indian,” with over 50 likes.

    Obviously, I can’t stand that woman, but by this person’s logic, I’m not Black either, and that’s a fucking shitty thing to read.

    This idea that mixed race people can’t be Black is too normalized in Black spaces, and honestly, it sucks that people don’t call it out enough.

    It is totally antithetical to Black liberation.

      This anti-mixed shit is so weird and new to me. It doesn’t make sense and it makes me sad and a little mad. Doesn’t it sound somewhat like a race-based conspiracy theory? Because whether we like it or not, the one-drop rule tells a revisioned story of black history. You can’t define all of blackness without adding in mixed black people. Only validating the most “pure” insert race is not at all a 1-to-1 with white supremacy, but it is claiming only “purely” black people are supposedly supremely black enough to receive validation that they’re black. It’s “disowning the unpures” like white people have done, and I do not get why anyone believes this rule.

      Am I understanding the one-drop rule correctly? Am I too far out on a limb here?

        Fundamentally speaking, you have the right idea.

        1DR shaped how this country perceives, treats, and polices Blackness.

        Of course, a shared racial identity is crucial for oppressed peoples, and when a person has the lived experience of a Black person, what materially benefits them the most is to be grouped in with Black people.

        Across many justice movements (e.g. feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, Black liberation), there is a common tendency for people to lack a more academic understanding of systems of oppression (that’s why reading theory is important) and believe that their lived experience is “enough” alone for them to be knowledgeable on the subject. Lived experience is important, but these people will not know how to advance Black liberation if their lived experience just leads to them promoting “scientific racism but in favor of Black supremacy rather than white supremacy.” That’s what I mean by “reverse 1DR,” basically. You have too many Black people using the same foolish European logic of “Your DNA is ‘impure’ so therefore you must be categorized differently, irrespective of how reality handles your existence” to exclude mixed-race Black people, placing the reification of some arbitrary categorization over actual Black safety and well-being.

    Welcome back Obama. The boondocks had a great episode on Obamas election and the liberal zeitgeist at that time.

  • Watching hexbear users struggle to replace the word “powwow” in their vocabulary and being blissfully unaware of how racist they are or struggle to find a synonym for ignorant.

    We need a cracker purge asap.

    White comrades: “we support the victims of racism!”

    White comrades when the victims of racism are crashing out from racial trauma: “WTF is wrong with you? You don’t see us acting this way!” (and no credit or grace for people trying to handle it, you gotta be perfect or else)

    #notallwhitecomrades I guess but a critical enough mass.

  • liberals in charge: we can’t get this black man out of the death sentence for nothing because ummm constitution.

    the other liberals in charge: Hey what’s going on guys my name is Trump and today we’re unboxing Ghislaine’s prison cell and a surprise unboxing will be later in the video so don’t just leave yet and without further ado let’s hear a word from our sponsor.

    I’m even more on edge with the Venezuela news. It sounds so much like Arbenz and I hope it isn’t the case. Any dumbfuck Latin American who continues to worship that hellhole because their favorite streamer, pussysmasher6769, makes America looks so cool and a land of opportunity deserves getting blown up when the us attacks.

    It annoys me to no end how fucking stupid people are. I’m aware I’m not using material analysis at all. I’m just venting anger at the situation. Guatemala isn’t in the crosshairs but we dealt with something similar. I really do hope Maduro is prepared and has some sort of successor in mind should he fall.

    Today I learned one of my biggest fans of my short stories and gore art is a white nationalist. Saw him making comments about nonwhite babies being a net negative to society. He has no idea what I look like but probably assumes I’m a white guy making the art he consumes lol
