Things aren’t looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it

I’m simply pointing out that people have been aware of the problem and upset about it for a long time. But that’s inconvenient to the narrative you’re trying to push, so you keep ignoring it whenever I mention that.
The problem with the comic isn’t that it pointed out that there have been more than just two murders. The problem is that it painted an entire race of people (who have diverse worldviews and opinions) with the same broad brush, and uses that generalization to create a strawman argument, i.e. “white people don’t care when non-whites get murdered,” and you continue to refuse to acknowledge that not only is that counter-factual, but it’s also counter-productive (and racist).
And then you not-so-subtly insinuate that I must be racist if I have a problem with it? You’re so transparent.
That isn’t what I said.
It’s called subtext, and it’s not subtle.
You’re just going out of your way to assume the most bad faith interpretations you can think of for everything.
I seriously think you need to do some introspection about why this makes you react this way.
I don’t need to go very far out of my way to tell that this post is clearly directing some racially-charged micro-aggressions towards white people, but if you’re so stuck in your worldview that white people can never be done wrong and it’s okay to treat them in all the ways that you yourself would never tolerate being treated, then I guess we’re not going to find any middle ground…
Lol, fucking fragile white people man…
If people getting upset about others making generalizations about their race is being “fragile,” then I don’t want to hear a fucking soul complaining about racism when it’s directed at them.
Imagine if someone in 2020 said “lol, fucking fragile black people man…”
Cause that’s exactly what you’re doing. But I don’t expect you to have any self-awareness, because you’re probably ideologically committed to the bit where it’s impossible to be racist against white people.
Get fucked with your white victim complex, dude.
You’re all over this damn post going red in the face not understanding what exactly folks are talking about here. Or just not caring.
The US has a systemic racism problem. By extension, white people within the US are in a visibly privileged position. To deny this is… I don’t know, something fucking else.
So you can, hopefully, understand when POCs vent their frustration from time to time when the needle of political will in this country seems to only ever shift when enough white people are caught in the blowback. Hell, white allies fucking realize this.
Lastly, get your head out of your ass. This comic isn’t even that abrasive with the truths that it reveals. You’re just thin-skinned.
I guess it’s too much to expect you to do any introspection, when you can always just blame white people for everything
Also not what I said.
