I’m starting to think it’s his deep seated racism…

is it really a mystery

I was literally accused of 'virtue signaling' for marrying outside my race, which made my head spin at the time. My wife and I have been happily laughing about that for ~20 years now. Have I signaled enough yet, guys?

Looking for a "good one "

rhymenoceros.bsky.social•6 days ago

Holy smokes! Bruh, you can date whoever you want so long as it’s consensual but this sounds…. Weird

"My girlfriend is black so Im allowed to say it"

eufloria.bsky.social•6 days ago

You get it. A real Anti-Racist doesn't have to TELL you how anti-racist they are...

pezki.bsky.social•6 days ago

self-conscious enough to know he's racist

not self-conscious enough not to pick the most racist way to go about tackling his racism

The Ethicist? Sounds more like the Ethnicist.

Grinding on five black chicks, a jew and a cripple to level up my antiracism for this build

As a white man, can I place the burden of improving me onto the women I date?

tealleaves4444.bsky.social•6 days ago

Lol, literally all they ever do. It's wild. 🤦‍♀️

eufloria.bsky.social•6 days ago

After a look at your Thread, I simply MUST follow...hope you don't mind! 🙌

tealleaves4444.bsky.social•5 days ago

Lol not at all! Thank you! 😅

eufloria.bsky.social•6 days ago

Brutal 😁

profusional.bsky.social•6 days ago

And why would you need anyone’s permission to date anybody regardless of skin color?

tealleaves4444.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not sure I would call it permission per se. More like, gaging if it's socially acceptable to actively USE these women as a means to make themselves look better. 🤢🤮

profusional.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, I wrote that before I read the column and he goes on at length about his thoughts. It’s a bit more nuanced than that, but it still feels off.

tealleaves4444.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh it's HELLA OFF. Dude clearly doesn't even see women as human beings let alone worthy of respect, just as a way to advance his own interests and make himself look better. It's so gross. 🚩

tealleaves4444.bsky.social•6 days ago

Men use women, esp WOC as means to an end and for their benefit all the time. It's WAY MORE COMMON than most are willing to admit and its so disgusting.

leeleewhy.bsky.social•6 days ago

I feel like this should be in a sequel to that one book where the white writer said white women should go cry in a corner if they are being racist.

sunhawk.bsky.social•5 days ago

"advance my antiracism" is totally how a normal not-racist person would talk about it too

apriciajovialis.bsky.social•6 days ago

Women are not rungs on your social climbing ladder.

davekornfield.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why do you follow Jesse Singal if you care about women?

apriciajovialis.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don't recall following them. Thanks for mentioning it so I can check who I'm following.

apriciajovialis.bsky.social•5 days ago

Jeebus! Thank you. I've started blocking a few accounts recently. Not ones I've interacted with, but ones I've seen harassing others or posting bigoted comments. Must have tapped the screen when I was distracted.

apriciajovialis.bsky.social•5 days ago

I didn't recognise the name at all. I assume if I was from the USA, I wouldn't have had to look them up, as the first two comments I saw were fawning over the two current leaders/vandals.

theangelremiel.bsky.social•6 days ago

I feel like maybe we should ask the broader question of whether this guy should be dating anybody.

tealleaves4444.bsky.social•6 days ago

Right? Bc seeing women as a disingenuous means to an end rather than as human beings is TOTALLY sane. 🚩🚩🚩

And why he needs the help of a Black woman.

metrecht.bsky.social•6 days ago

Anti racism IS something that white people of privilege have to actively work on. Forever.

domnall.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes, as much as this headline kinda gives off kind of an icky feeling, anti racism, as opposed to a passive "not racist" label, requires action. I think the question "is this action (dating) anti-racist?", is fair, but the answer in this case is basically "no."

holyshitimfucked.com•6 days ago

Ok, how about south asian women?

just-slothlike.bsky.social•6 days ago

to be fair, accepting white privilege and inherent racism is a pretty core component of anti-racism.
what op is talking about i shudder though
