pretty telling that first reation of some here can be summed with: what is really white?
Start leaving my house unlocked again?
I mean, seriously, ragebaiting in such a stoopid way like this deserves all the ~~flaming~~ trolling that comes your way.
btw I’m not from the US so my “joke” wouldn’t work where I live anyway.
What are you on ab mate
Just pointing out the futility, in my opinion, of engaging directly with somebody who would non-ironically post this in real life.
What is the issue with posting this then? Why would it be futile to respond to someone who would post this "non-ironicly" what is ur point exactly? As i see it ita a joke post ment to point out how racist white folks can be i dont think the aecond part is to be taken as fact
To me, anybody who can genuinely think in binary terms of “white” people and “black” people probably has a very limited exposure to the entire colour palette of humanity and, again, this is conjecture, probably has a damaging US-centric view of what is a global issue.
If a five year old asked me the same question I’d probably engage with them, but as an adult, gtfooh.
What does being in the US have to do with anything? Racism exists worldwide.
Who is upvoting this shit for real? I see no problem with the original post, and I find it very strange that someone would get this upset about it unless they felt personally called out.
Sounds like a self report, mate.
Um, because perhaps I’m currently living somewhere with only a tiny handful of black people - none of whom are burglars? So locking or not locking my door would make zero difference in the event of all black people disappearing.
On the occasions when I have lived almost exclusively surrounded by black people crime was the last of my concerns - but that wasn’t in a US city.
I’m not upset by the post - just a bit exasperated that ragebait shit like this happens online.
Firstly - how exactly are we defining black? One parent? Both parents? All four grand parents? All eight grandparents? Is blue-black different to brown-black? I mean, really, who is honestly capable of adjudicating such an arbitrary line?
Secondly - the saddest bit is that in China and India, most of the rest of Asia, vast swathes of South América and in the Antarctic… this ridiculous made-up bullshit scenario would have little immediate impact; apart from a mention on the news.
Thinking, even as a thought experiment, the stupidity of this question beggars belief, in my opinion. Maybe it’s a self-tell that you jump on your white stallion to defend this worthless stirring of tensions in possible hypothetical scenarios.
More power to you, brother. Fight that fight… from behind your screen.
