Syn knows no shame

Stop with the “oh well I’m white and i agree” or the “I’m white and I’m sorry for us” on posts about racism

Stop with the lengthy apologizes when you do something small like write the above on posts and someone calls you out on it

Stop asking me for my opinon on what this famous black person did

Stop asking me for my opinion on if a thing is racist or not

Stop asking me to explain basic racist shit to you

Stop telling black people about the time you called your racist uncle out on his racism or the protests you went to

Stop asking for my opinion on things you did that you’re scared is racist/has racist undertones

Stop with the white guilt… It ain’t helpin nobody

Stop asking one black person for their opinion on something about race… You gotta ask more black people if you want an accurate representation of something because not all of us are the same/think the same thing

Stop treating black people like we’re “professors” on racism

I have waited ALL FUCKING YEAR TO POST THIS

So I’d dive in and virtually disappear into the reeds

So we go test some water indices and usually find out that fertilizer runoff from the lawns has turned the pond into an oxygen void, so the fish all essentially suffocated, so we say “you need to build up a riparian buffer [wet habitat vegetation and trees that can absorb nitrates before they get into the water] around your pond”

And they’re like “no that looks ugly” and then they hire undergrads like me to remove the vegetation they do have

And then they’re like “wtf my fish are DEAD again!!!!”

My favourite comment:

Hm. I wonder why so many white people are pressed about Adam & Eve being Black?

And why are so many men are pressed about God being represented as a woman?

Indentured servitude is not chattel slavery.

The Irish were oppressed and have a history of indentured servitude.

The Irish were not bought and sold or held as property generation to generation.
