Don’t put words in my mouth. If you need a straw man to knock down, maybe you also need to breathe deeply and touch grass. The internet feeds us our fears to make us rage and hate, so please limit your time here. I limit mine so that I won’t be as easy for algorithms to fearmonger.
White people have no reason to fear or hate nonwhite people as a group. Speaking from experience: I was one of the few white people in a course on race, and nobody blamed me for all the horrible racist events we learned about. I learned several subtle forms of racism that I didn’t previously know about because I never experienced them or thought about it deeply enough. Everyone was patient and kind.
Cool anecdote. When my friends autistic buddy who was like 16 stopped at 4am to help a 40 year old black guy whose car was broken down on the side of the road the guy pulled a gun on him, forces him to drive to an atm and take all of his money (6k) before stealing his car and driving to cali. When the black cops showed up they couldn’t gaf or help with insurance even though the guy dropped his drivers license during the robbery.
Anecdotes end up skewing our views but mean nothing. What is true is that black men (6%) of the population commit half of the murders, and that 33% of black men are felons. I was a part of the whole “equality we are all pink inside stuff” but after the 2020 blm riots, the Gaza genocide being painted as a white colonial thing, the killing of iryna going unreported while Shiloh Hendrix calling a black kid rooting around her purse the n word got national coverage I no longer gaf
As a white person who’s been to pro-Palestine protests everyone is cool with me. But what’s undeniable is that there is a simmering hatred for white people as they paint the genocide specifically as fueled by white-neocolonialism (the cause for all of Africa and South Americas ailments) and not what is clearly Jewish supremacy. It’s why many of those people who talk about the Gaza genocide don’t talk about white genocide in South Africa (victims are white) or the evil against
Christians in central Africa (both parties are black). I don’t hate anyone, but what’s clear is that regardless of what I say there will always be a hatred of my people and their history which ends in bloodshed like in the cases of Canon Hinnat or Austin Metcalf. White guys like OP and I are choosing our own side. We love our life and white civilization, which people aren’t thankful enough for
If everyone was cool with you at pro-Palestine protests, that’s evidence that those specific people were not racist against you. A lot of what looks like “hatred of white people” is actually valid criticism of actual racism that still exists. Those same people might be extremely critical of white people who, through their own ignorance, innocently abide by cultural influences that have racist origins and effects. That’s not hate of white people, it’s criticism of racism
