   If it's one thing that always becomes clear around national election time is the sheer *hate* white identified people have for POCs.

   You never see the anger white people have thrown at LeBron James for his China comments or AOC for endorsing Sanders target white political figures like 🍊, Roy Moore, Mitch McConnell or any white politician that is actually passing policy that is fucking up their lives.

   You see distaste, sure, but not the sheer kinetic hostility when it comes to POCs.

      Regardless of whatever political affiliation white people profess, there is this general dislike of any POC that does not fit their limited view of what we should be that is always there and, ha, as we've seen in the many convos I've had with 'leftist' white people on here, doesn't take that much to reveal.

      Passion is one thing, but often white people will straight up attack if our views don't align with their myopia.

      We saw this w/ the 'Bernie Bros' in the last cycle, now w/ AOC.

         And you don't see white people attacking 🍊 or McConnell, or Cruz, or Moore with the same energy and effort. You just don't.

         Yeah, they'll say all the right things at brunch because it's 'cool' to be PROGRESSIVE in white identified circles, but that's pretty much extent of it. You don't see white people going at the necks of old white men that are actually causing problems.

         But you do see white folks *constantly* coming at POC perspectives that don't affect them at all.

         Funny how that works

            I want to see white people come at 🍊 with the same force and anger they came at O.J. or Bill Cosby.

            I want to see white disgust with Roy Moore with the same energy the came at with R.Kelly.

            I want to see white people investigate with the political opinions of actual policy makers like Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Steven King, etc with the same anger and indignation they come at Lebron James or Serena Williams.

            I want to see white people go at themselves like they're always going at us.

      @Are0h This is probably a good time to remind people that the left absolutely lost its shit and hacked the paypal account, sent threats, and harassed Angiespeaks, a black woman on youtube, for simply hosting Peter Coffin after Peter wouldn't hatemob a cancelled person. No, they didn't hack Peter's account (not that it would be okay to terrorize someone like that), they hacked the black girl's account.

      It's always the most marginalized who are truly "cancelable".

         @alice There is *always* so much effort put into harming Black/Brown folks that crosses political lines in the States that simply does not translate to harming people actually causing harm.

         The desire to harm non-white people for the simple transgression of disagreement transcends whatever political line white people profess.
