a “dogwhistle” is when you make a statement which is technically accurate or innocuous-sounding at the surface level (enough so to maintain plausible deniability), but frame it in a way that functions as subtle propaganda against a target demographic

I think a lot of black people think they can’t be racist, and it’s an odd thought process to have

(I’m aware that this is only one of several different potential forms a dogwhistle can take. character limitations interfered with my wording)

zoom in on the fact that this post begins with the words “I think a lot of black people” and I think you’ll have an easy time figuring it out not trying to be condescending, I just can’t really sum it up any more straightforwardly than I already did in the post itself

as in, yes, obviously it is possible for black people to be racist against members of other marginalized races! very nearly *everyone* is already aware of this. people who would claim otherwise are few and far between, and the vast majority would immediately recognize that someone saying “black people are incapable of being racist” is full of shit so… that being the case, ask yourself: why do you figure OP would feel the need to single out black people with a post like that?
