Sigh In A Storm

You WILL be racist. You WILL do racist things. You have ALREADY done both. Learn and move on. There's no ideological purity you can hold on to, i promise. Proving you can take the criticism without making it a big deal and practice what you preach is better than any clean slate.

You aren’t irredeemable for one error. Even many errors. The thing that is irredeemable is insisting you didn’t do anything wrong.

Show that you care, you listen — that you don’t invalidate others even if you disagree.

Slavery is literally happening now. Police never stopped being slave catchers. People are supporting it now just like they supported it then.

A family living in a tent city with mandatory blackouts because their neighborhood is a target isn't going to rejoice in relief because a Tumblr user linked a book on how the Jews control the world under a post about someone's temple being vandalized with swastikas

A person who lost their family isn't waiting for a Tumblr user to make a call out post. They aren't waiting for a Tumblr user to spam subscribe else's inboxes with anon hate because they said their kid is scared to go to Hebrew school. They aren't waiting for someone to get death threats because they made a post in Hebrew that the person leaving the threats can't even read.

-XYZ is Catholic

-XYZ is bisexual.

-XYZ is Muslim.

also wikipedia:

-XYZ is of Jewish descent.

-XYZ has Jewish parents.

but later on they clarify that she freed herself from being “ethnically charged” so it’s all good now

"White" is a social construct created by white supremacy to mark who is and is not part of the "correct" demographic. Many ethnic groups we now consider white, such as people of Irish and Italian descent, were not previously included and have since been (mostly) assimilated.

While many Jews could individually be considered white, Jews as a whole are an ethnoreligious group that has not been assimilated into whiteness. They are the subject of a lot of bigotry and frequently violently targeted by white supremacists, who generally believe Jews are a threat to the "white race". There's a reason neo-Nazis are the figurehead of violent racists; you cannot fully understand white supremacy without also understanding antisemitism!

If you aren't familiar with antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories (such as the one linked above), I recommend reading through some of these:

not sure if it’s “new” but in the past couple days, my friends and I have each been receiving about dozens of this exact message with the exact same script from various random blogs.

but instead of empty blogs that are very obviously bots, these blogs all have profile pictures and reblogs on their blogs like any other normal blogs. although if you scroll down far enough, most of them are very recently created, with the first ever reblogs from their blogs being from less than a week ago — which makes me think they’re newly created blogs with reblogs and profile pictures, so that they’re not very obviously bots anymore. but they all use the same script.

obviously I did not contact them, and I have all of them blocked and reported. because I know if I did contact them, they would try and convince me that my blog was somehow “compromised” one way or another, and then they’d say I’d have to contact this random guy on discord (instead of tumblr support) and then I’d have to change the email I associated my blog with to their new email that they gave me. then boom. the second my blog was registered with their email, they had control of everything, and chances were that I’d never be able to get my blog back. or worse, they had access to my personal information too. it’s all the same scam tactics.

do NOT fall for them. do NOT contact any shady, random person on discord or any other platform. the ONLY way you contact support when you have an issue with your blog is directly through tumblr support. not a random guy on discord.

I’m not disclosing their url because even though I’m 90% sure it’s a bot, I don’t want to accidentally send people to harass an innocent person in case of the blog having originally belonged to an innocent person before they were hacked. because when these scammers/bots hack someone’s blog, they use the blog to further scam other people, since the blog was originally a legit blog, it won’t look “empty and obviously a bot”.
