    The person who posted this is definitely white. As a white person myself, I find this post amusing. Do you know why? It’s because you’re trying to validate yourself. Accepting who you are is essential, and posting this type of content won’t help with that.

    Pretending to be the ‘good guy’ is simply foolish. We’re all flawed, but I believe most people try not to be. History has occurred, and all you’re doing is dredging up its worst aspects. Move on.

        I have no idea where you pulled that information from. I just love how you completely disregarded my comment and immediately went to politics for your defense. I hope you find acceptance from within.

          White people is used as a mass. The majority barely care about the Genocide because Palestinians are brown.

          They were instantly up in arms for Ukraine when Putin killed civilians 20 times slower than israel. Talked all day about how horrible of a man Putin was and his constituents should assassinate him. Now their own governments are supporting actual Genocide and they’ve been real quiet.

            “Could it be that people were up in arms about Ukraine because Russia’s invasion was almost completely unprovoked, and they were fighting for their independence from a far superior military power, calling to mind for many people America’s own revolutionary war, combined with strong anti-Russian sentiment from both sides of the American political aisle? Could it be that the majority of Americans are hesitant to speak out now since the power that Netanyahu claims to be fighting against really is as despicable as he says it is and deserves to be wiped off the map, just not with hundreds of thousands of Palestinian casualties, and mainstream media that refuses to acknowledge the civilian casualties at all isn’t helping matters?”

            “…”

            “Nah, must be that all white people are racist.”

              Palestinians randomly attacked those people that colonized their land and put them in a concentration camp. It was completely unprovoked.

              Thank you for proving my point that you are literally incapable of empathy with brown people

                Dammit. Again. First sentence. When dealing with leftists, I have to remember they only read the first sentence.

                All of the nuance of the situation aside, for someone who hates stereotypes it seems awfully hypocritical to paint all those people with the same brush.

            I’m having a hard time following your logic. You’re categorizing all white people as not giving a shit about brown people because of the way western governments & media responded to the two conflicts? I’m not saying you’re not correct to say racism played a role in the way these conflicts are unfolding but seem to be making massive leaps in logic.

            Having the opinion that people should not vote for Biden if he “doesn’t stop the Genocide” is naive and moronic to the extreme. If you care about Palestinians you should be making sure Biden is in the white house next election because Trump and the GOP is absolutely not going to improve the situation. And I fucking hate that it’s obligatory to say this but that does not mean you cannot criticize Biden or think he’s a shitty president.

            Fucking christ people cannot grasp the concept of nuance.

    Racist baiting tweeting shared across multiple sites. Yet I’m sure this is totally organic activity.
