White Supremacy Iceberg

Forgot to mention the "only white people know what democracy is, if your constitution wasn't written by white people we don't recognise you as democratic and will wage war and slander you in the media"
- I think there is more nuance to that. The US is a representative democracy with first past the post voting, which was never about the popular vote. It was adopted to deal with issues from a few centuries ago including technological limitations of voting and widespread illiteracy. It was also adopted to deliberately disenfranchise non-white male voters.
  Nowadays there is no reason to keep voting this way other than to keep the unpopular party and unpopular politicians in power through gerrymandering.
- Ah yes, the bastion of democracy, a document written 200+ years ago by slaveholders

Oh! Oh! You forgot one: Denying the skin color/race/ethnicity of a person just because their behavior doesn't align with how you think the aforementioned race/ethnicity is supposed to behave as.
Like, I literally have brown skin, was born and raised in the global south and still within it; and yet a few weeks back some jackass here (who's since been banished thankfully) had the guts to call me a "White Western Anglo" just because I called them out on their reich-wing terminology and defended queer rights. Fucking hell.
- Oh, liberal crackers have been full steam ahead on that bullshit ever since Biden had the nerve to tell Charlamagne the God of all people that if the community wasn't for him, then they (and by proxy, CtG) wasn't Black. And then they turn around and wonder why I pray to every divinity I've ever worshipped that I get to watch this motherfucker rot from within.

colorblindness
Can someone please explain this to me?
- probably "i don't see race, white - brown - black, they all mean the same to me" while casually ignoring the systemic issues that non-white people still go through but white people don't
- I reckon it's "not being able to see color", i.e. claiming that you don't recognize the difference between people of different skin color. That can itself be a form of supremacy since it denies the lived reality of many people.
- Not understanding the segregation and alienation that people of certain races experience, and assuming they have the same privileges that your class has. For example, not understanding why a black mother having to explain to her children that Starbucks coffee isn’t for them.

I kind of feel like this would almost work better as one of those iceberg charts YouTube seems to love.

It says Paternalism twice

What is "spiritual bypassing"?
Also, go ahead and call me a snowflake, because I do take issue with the "I never owned slaves" bit in the racism section. Not only I've never owned slaves personally, my ancestors were third class citizens until 1917. But fuck me for being a whitey I guess!
- it's more that you're shrugging your shoulders as if you don't still benefit from being white just because you or your family didn't own slavery
  the blasé not my fault, not my problem attitude
- i think the implication regarding "Don't blame me, I never owned slaves!" comes moreso from the fact that descendants of white people not wanting to address that their ancestors had owned slaves and to make up for it.
  Just because your ancestors had owned slaves but you don't doesn't automatically absolve you from the fact that your ancestors had caused damage to the ethnicity that white people took slaves from; and that you should address it, admit it was horrific of them to do so and to make up for it.
  now, idk if your ancestors had owned slaves; but if they didn't, good on them - this doesn't apply to you specifically. but it would still be cool if you tried to make lives better for marginalized people.

  So I'm damned by the virtue of being born white? I'm not even Anglo. Pretty sure none of my ancestors ever had anything to do with anyone of African descent. Unless you count the ones that lived in USSR and through their labour helped African nations. But I've re-read your comment twice, and I guess it doesn't matter?
- Is that supposed to change anything? I'm physically trying not to pop off right now if only because I recognize your username-- but keeping it a buck? This kind of immediate-defensive, "well I never owned slaves" line, coupled with how quick you peddled it out, leads me to not believe you for a single motherfuckin second; because it sounds just like every other cracker in this godforsaken nation who can have their lineage traced back to slave owners.
  You're patently untrustworthy, manifestly unserious, and honestly probably fucking dangerous regarding matters of liberation if you prioritize your papier-maché ego over the lived experience and frank fucking torture that leading a Black life entails; regardless of whether or not your hands or those of your ancestors were washed in that historical fountain of blood. I'd bet my left eye they didn't get involved back then either, the same way your words imply you won't get involved. After all, your folk 'never owned slaves', so it's not your problem in your purview.
  tl;dr please, for once in your life, perform some honest self-crit.
  
  The person you're responding to is not a Usonian, and their people have historically been victims of euro-amerikkkan aggression. Please be respectful to others here (rule 3) or we won't hesitate to issue temp bans.
