🚨Warning Black people!🚨

I know that Bruce Lee used his martial arts and movie stardom to work *with* Black civil rights leaders, and to amplify their causes, and that this made him very popular with Black people all over the world.
But again, this isn't about you.
Stop being selfish!

Don't mention birtherism!

(*This is not an issue if you're on a well moderated instance on Mastodon, or if you get BlackSky moderation with BlueSky, because they know what they're doing. But random Mastodon or BlueSky moderation could get you banned for not mourning the death of racist white people hard enough
).@mekkaokereke as I’ve gotten older I’ve found white people’s inability to cope with the realization that the casual racism/sexism we were exposed to as children was not, in fact, a universal experience obnoxious
Constantly talking about “childhood ruined” and all that and completely missing the point that this wasn’t a secret, we’re just ignorant and late to the party
Like, it was always this way, we just grew up in an environment where we didn’t see that (and often reaped the benefit of it)

@mekkaokereke does that make sense?
Anyway, following for the past little bit has definitely helped with solidifying this perspective in my head

).@mekkaokereke It's never a good sign when quoting someone is deemed offensive rather than seeing the quote itself as offensive.
Charlie Kirk? He had recently said that dead kids were just the cost of his being able to own his guns. Shrug. So, he would've been fine with being murdered with a gun. Shrug. Just the cost of others being able to hold onto their guns.
That people would suddenly become outraged by his own words being used? Crazy talk.

If you get banned for not respecting a white supremacist, you're on a white supremacist instance. -

).@mekkaokereke "[yada yada] If nothing else let my children and my children's children say we were justified...[yada yada]"
Because when someone tries to do something good, that's what's going through the mind of the person attempting the good, right?
*Top on the list: I want folks decades down the line to consider me justified*
Not "Suffering was avoided" or "People live better lives."
Nope.
How do you say your motives are questionable and you know it without explicitly saying so?
-
I know that you Black people don't like racism or racist people, but that's not what's important right now.
What's important is that a lot of white people *do* like them!
And when you read racists' own horrible words back to them, it gives a lot of these other white people sad feelings!
I know that you Black people prefer Bruce Lee. Especially Black people in Los Angeles and San Francisco and Oakland and Berkeley.
But again, this isn't about you.
@mekkaokereke It's hard to imagine anyone could prefer Chuck Norris to Bruce Lee.
Hell, I'm not sure I prefer *anybody* to Bruce Lee. I sit down to watch a Bruce Lee movie and the whole time I'm just going "this is the coolest motherfucker who ever lived."

@mscheffel The best Chuck Norris jokes are Charles Nelson Reilly jokes.

maybe he did deserve to have all of those people come out of nowhere lightning fast and kick him in his cowboy ass after all -
@mekkaokereke I never liked Chuck Norris but TIL he was worse than I knew.
This, here. I was vaguely amused the the jokes about him, but now I'm just disgusted. What an asshole.

@mekkaokereke Bruce Lee sounds nice I heard a lot of things he was saying. he seems pacifist but fights only when needed at least that's what my quirky teacher said.
