Edit: you know what? Fuck this place. I’m not gonna argue with a bunch of pedantic assholes all day.

A short rant because I got banned for saying that there’s a lot of anti-blackness in the Asian community. (Basically, I said that a lot of people are heavily influenced by the handful of sensationalized reports of homeless mentally ill black people attacking Asian people. I also said that they weaponized their fear to end AA and increase already ballooning levels of mass incarceration.)

I’m tired of black oppression only being relevant when it can be directly used to argue for a larger caused. I’m tired of pointing out obvious racism only for people to turn around and be like, Nu-uh you’re the real racist! I’m tired of having to pretend that I’m not impacted by any of this only for other people to mock the oppression they also pretend isn’t real most of the time. I’m tired of wondering if being alive is even worth it not because I hate myself but because the world is so irrevocably racist, hypocritical and just nasty in general.

You made an incredibly racist comment and you got banned. Suck it up and be thankful it wasn't a siteban

User's comment that was removed

A lot of those who claimed to see an increase are probably conflating actual hate crimes with the handful of cases of mentally ill homeless black people randomly targeting Asian people. I thought the removal of AA and the increase in mass incarceration would’ve pacified them, but apparently not.

It’s the literal truth. A lot of Americans in general are heavily influenced by a handful of scandalizing, race-based headlines. They weaponize their fears to further the oppression of marginalized groups. Asian Americans are not exempt from this. That doesn’t mean that hate crimes against Asians don’t exist, just that a racist subgroup is more concerned with perpetuating anti-blackness.

Like how you're normalizing violence against Asian Americans and stigmatizing the homeless and mentally ill by outright dismissing Asian American concerns while making a bigoted comment in what seems like a tasteless and tone-deaf joke about about the removal of Asian Americans and the American industrial complex would've somehow made the hate crimes go away?

Yeah no I'm passing this up the ladder now.

not to defend the guy cos i agree with you, but i don't think 'removal of AA' is Asian Americans, I think it's Affirmative Action

A good and likely guess that will never be answered since the coward deleted their account

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)
