dude it's just politics, it doesn't matter. all it does is shape every single aspect of the society you live in from the second you are born until forever

i read this as homestuck and then realized that it wasn’t homestuck before realizing that it was actually homestuck

literally we are not free until all women can go topless the same as dudes

Another thing I’d like to mention about a topic that really is kind of a dead horse at this point is that the idea of describing white russians as white being Somehow an excuse for Russophobia is actually kind of insane because i actually think it’s quite important to point out the distinction between slavic russians and indigenous russians or asian russians or I don’t know The black people that live in russia since there seems to be a strange belief that they don’t exist. I actually think it’s quite important to make a racial distinction when discussing the systemic power that slavic/white/european/however you want to define it russians hold over the average black american

Also Sorry this is like bugging me like crazy There’s this weird assumption going on that white russians and Black Americans never coexist in the same space as if no russian has ever emigrated to America ever in the history of the world

my great grandparents were from what is now modern day Ukraine but what was at the time the russian pale of settlement And you want to know what they were allowed to do when they came to America? Vote and exist in public spaces. You know what their Black contemporaries weren’t allowed to do?

a white russian and a Black american are driving down a highway. Which one is more likely to be murdered in a routine traffic stop? Answer me this

preeeecisely. And thats not even touching on the slavic colonization of the russian east + central asia! And yes like youve pointed out here just because russia didnt participate in, like, the atlantic slave trade, doesnt mean that antiblackness isnt a global phenomenon that also has a strong foothold in russian culture. there are real life actual racialized russians living in russia right now experiencing racism and orientalism and white russians want to play dress up in their struggles in order to get away with some of the most flagrant displays of antiblackness under the guise of leftist thought ive seen on this site in a while.
