#antiracism

A loyalist killer from Northern Ireland and a former member of the banned terror group the Ulster Volunteer Force attended an anti-immigration demonstration in Glasgow that turned violent. Scotland’s first minister John Swinney and other politicians condemned the violence, which started in Glasgow Green and spread to the city centre. Anti-racists gathered at Glasgow Green to oppose a demonstration by anti-immigration protesters. Clips on social media showed attendees performing Nazi salutes and mounted police drew batons to separate rival groups. Those attending the protest included Glen Kane - on the left in the above photograph - from Northern Ireland who was jailed for nine years for being part of a mob which killed a Cath­olic man dur­ing a sec­tarian riot in 1992.

In 2020, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture published the two graphics above as part of its “Talking About Race” portal. A necessary disclaimer: the museum removed the chart after criticism and acknowledged, “We erred in including it.” It is not current Smithsonian policy. That correction deserves recognition. The point of revisiting it is not to pretend…

I'm not black, so my opinion on how black people feel about this content is irrelevant and having an opinion on how black people feel about it at all would in fact be cringe.

That said my personal opinion is, when black creators make films that involve taking power away from white or racist or white racist characters, I have no problem with it. Art is a form of self expression and filmmaking is an art like any other.

I don't entirely understand what this has to do with racist phases but here's my thoughts on that. White people do often have racist phases because racism is baked into white childhood and upbringing in the US and Canada, I can't speak for Europe but I assume it's similar. Every single white leftist who is actively anti racist has had a racist phase and overcame it. No white person ever magically came out the womb not racist. It takes active concerted effort to deprogram yourself from white supremacy and then more effort to become actively anti racist, in a society built to keep you as complicit with racism as possible for the benefit of the capital class. If black people don't trust a white leftist that is not a moral judgement on the white leftist, any white leftist should understand (if they actually did the work to deprogram themselves) that trust is not owed to them by black people, and expecting that trust is foolish. And as an extension they should not be offended by white characters getting dunked on in movies.

If a culture is known for being scummy, and behind closed doors are known child and adult abusers, genuinely found to enjoy killing others, constantly betray the poors in their In-group, and one member writes a whole book on how their group shouldn't assimilate, then how come people bend over backwards to say Not All Wejs! Not all of themmmm... When shit doesn't matter, one of them fucking wants to use 10 million one-step-more-intelligent-than-a-caveman sons of bitches to destroy society because... Uh, the borderline personality disorder genetic line just wants to 🍸✨ they just think they'd do it better

DESPITE THEM LITERALLY NOT NEEDING TO. they literally"have all the money, all the power" and do FUCK ALL and disappoint even the demons they worship!.

Life was better when i thought islam was just about not eating pork and wearing a head scarf, and thought people were actually trying to free abused women in those religions because i can sympathize with it yknow? Trapping women in marriages has been a problem in the u.s too!
