I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

Yes! Let’s beat hate, by hating a different group…

Pointing out their whinging is hardly hate. Way to be a perfect example of the post, whether you’re a white dude or not.

“their” whining. Right, I’m the asshole for not liking language lumping a whole group of people into a bucket.

If you are ok with demonizing language like that, that’s on you. I want nothing to do with it.

You know, I really, really think you’re reading something into this that isn’t there. What, exactly, strikes you as hate here? What in this meme is “demonizing language”? It’s a joke pointing out that privileged people tend to panic and lash out when the people who have historically had fewer privileges than them start receiving help to level the playing field, as if life is some kind of zero-sum game and others being treated better suddenly means they’ll get treated worse. This is a well-recognized truth that applies broadly across privileged populations and has been remarked upon by many people through the years of building civil liberties for minorities of all stripes, and this meme is just poking a bit of fun at it. No one thinks that literally every single cishet white dude is panicking that they’ll be up against the wall if minorities ask to be treated better. I’m really confused at your apparently visceral reaction against this so-called “hate”.

I very frequently find that very few people here grasp the concept of humor in any measurable way.

It’s concerning how much support these types of statements get.

MLK Jr, the guy that has that one quote about white moderates that gets paraded around constantly while 90% of his other words are completely ignored.

The men who are worried about being hunted for sport have been told too many times that that’s what should happen to them
