I find the way that some people understand what is and isn't racism mystifying.

For some white people with racism it's like they have a check list. The following things are racism... and NOTHING else:
1. The n word IF said in a MEAN way.
2. Monkeys
3. Watermelon
4. Segregated Water Fountain Signs.Show them a sign that says "No Blacks Allowed" on a changing room at a store and they are like "well that's different... maybe there is a good reason? People steal"
It's is buck wild. Why even pretend that you care about racism at all?
Some of ya'll are so damn strange.

@futurebird Yeah :(
Could be a dogwhistle too in some contexts it's always good to be aware
@Nocta_Senestra @futurebird and you're absolutely right. Imagine someone being so far up their own behind that they would not eat certain delicious foods. Bizarre

What is the issue? It's the same thing. It's a prejudice that Black people are primitive and inhuman. Like apes or some animal that attacks your pets. It's the same racism.
Is it that they don't care if it's not powerful people?
Dazzled by the wealth and power of the Obamas and so you can recognize an insult to them but not to some regular blackfolks?
It is really odd and I do not get it.
These things are equal and we only got a retraction for ONE of them. 2/
@futurebird I see only one other distinction between the remarks: one was made while out of office campaigning and the other while in office. People still expect candidates to be closer to fringe and elected officials to be more cautious despite his specific track record of no variance.

@futurebird I think it’s because the video was targeted at specific people, which makes it easier to empathize with the targeted.
I agree that it’s actually more harmful to target a whole group of people with a disgusting (and obvious) lie, because it’s harder to debunk and draws a whole group of people into an argument (they had nothing to do with) as straw men.
But think it’s a feature of our cognition that things seem more real the more concrete they are, whether they’re harms like racism or benefits like public health interventions that prevent or reduce death and disease (like vaccinations).

@futurebird Because it's so normalized, and because they don't know any black people well enough for them to have taken on the burden of educating them. I saw the same thing with transmisia, which made me really uncomfortably aware of how little I'd actually been listening to black and brown people myself.
So clearly the solution is to start forcefemming white people to expose more straight white folks to genuine marginalized experiences, and for them to listen instead of just hearing for once.

They have NEVER apologized for that "cats and dogs" BS. Some people are still running around thinking it's true.
@futurebird When he said that on national television, I thought “Finally! This is it! This is so fucking stupid, this will finally be it!” Then that moment quickly passed. Nothing can get through, because he hates the people they hate

I ricercatori avvertono: il Wi-Fi potrebbe diventare un sistema invisibile di sorveglianza di massa
una nuova tecnologia può identificare gli individui anche quando non hanno con sé un dispositivo WiFi, registrando passivamente i segnali nelle reti radio, sollevando seri problemi di privacy e spingendo a richiedere protezioni più severe.

@stefano I'm not sure who's the owner but the guy who talked to me was very young.. well, a typical tiktok user, so that's obvious 🙂
And they have a lot of CDs for 5-10 €, that's fair, very fair..

@peterkotrcka Yes, "Pistelli and Bartolucci". I know the former owner (that has run it for 30 years) and he had to sell as he was retiring.

@stefano Yes, the one that was on the main square before. But they told me the rent was too much.
