I do wish people would approach this with more understanding at least, rather than screaming at those who are confused.
Like it or not, you are triggering baby socialists racism alarms. It is good they have these anti racist instincts. Screaming at them for feeling uncomfortable at that is not productive, even though you are right.
Explain, don’t berate someone coming from a good place.
I disagree. Both tactics work can work.
For me it was having a bunch of MLs laugh at me and ridicule me that really got me thinking.
I remember being a baby leftist trying to argue that “capitalism just works which is why a social welfare state is the best plausible system” that gave me a jolt into re-examining my views.
If someone comes in good faith then yes you talk with them calmly and reasonably but if someone is tone policing, lecturing, or trolling then you give it to them right back.
Saying you can’t be racist against crackers is not only true, it will also confront people into thinking about what racism really is and what function it performs in our society.

Well that one doesn't work with me, if you laugh at me & make fun of me I'm gonna fight you even if I would normally otherwise agree with your point.
I had a really hard time grappling with the you cant be racist to white people because my entire experience growing up was being bullied, beat up and excluded because I was white. I swear I came up with reverse racism back in 2003 by myself because what liberal media was telling me without the additional context didnt make sense in my upbringing and small world.
Once i got into college and saw that everyone was white and that they grew up predominantly white areas the pieces of the puzzle fell in.
I think if you look at a white person and go my reddit breadtube told me to call this person a mayo cracker whiteboiii youre lame as shit. All the mayo/cum demon or whatever you guys are saying is an entirely online thing and super white itself. All of this stuff should be viewed the lense of class and power dynamic within communities. Not blanket hatred for someone who might actually agree with you/want better.
It seems like a lot of people here saw race+power= racism and thought it was talking about individual racism rather than structural. You can in fact be racist to anyone.
In addition "cracker" initially referred to poor white people in the GA/FL areas. They were usually very poor so cracker is both classist and racist. It's weird to see anyone claiming to be leftist using it.
Whatd they say lool
We COULD say “rape all white people to death unlimited genocide to kkkrackers”. But why? What purpose does that serve beyond satisfying the cackling hyena urge conservatives immerse themselves in?
Is rape funny? Is genocide funny? What part of it is anything but revolting? I just don’t understand the thought process.
white genocide is very funny
I don’t really understand why it’s funny, but I respect your feelings on the matter.
Like, in my mind that means killing babies and children, too. That there are no innocent people who appear white, and they just all need to die.
When I say “kill all Nazis”, no interpretation of that means babies and children. They’re too young to be political.

mayocide isn't a proper genocide, it's a neonazi conspiracy theory about birthrates
I see, so it is an ironic post calling out conservatives.
That makes more sense
