      In case someone is on the internet for the first time, virtually nobody says it’s not okay to be white, so saying this is pushing the idea that black and brown people asking for basic rights makes them the real bad guys. Y’know, for making us feel bad about the things we’ve done.

            I assume that’s a joke link, but it’s broken for non-kbin users.

            And I even copied the original link, not the kBin one.

            No, though. That is not a joke. I earnestly maintain that “it is not ok to be white” and I advocate the abolition of the category.

            The link is to another post in this thread, itself containing outside links.

              Oh, okay. It looks like kBin might be having issues.

              I assume you don’t mean the skin colour like everyone else does, though, but rather the social construct. Race isn’t biologically real, eventually we’re going to go back to socially realising that like we did pre-1600, and I agree that that’s good.

              If you do mean the skin colour, thank you for being the weird internet exception that proves the rule.

                but rather the social construct.

                That’s also what racists mean when they use the dogwhistle “It is ok…” though.
