You're deflecting from OPs question by claiming everyone is racist. 'Racism against white people' does not exist. *Bigotry* is possible, but that's not the subject. Black people do not have the force of the State behind them and thus do not have the power to inflict the oppression they face on you.

Interesting. Do you really think that racism is entirely confined to the United States? 🤔

Uh, what the fuck? WTF does that mean? Especially "we all end up Mexican in the end"???

Like, what on earth made you think that was a perfectly wholesome and non-racist thing to say??? 👀👀👀

The bone spiders are also sort of weird and funny and I *almost* want one because it's bizarre. I think I finally understand what hipsters meant about liking things 'ironically.'

That, and this one too.

Image of a post in which Tom Morello responds to some guy ironically calling him "another successful musician [who] instantly becomes a political expert". Morello's answer reads: "One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University to recognize the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University so I can confirm that for you".

"Without a Face" (1996) is literally about the hardships undocumented immigrants go through, so it's not surprising Morello is against sending federal troops to protect ICE and deport immigrants.

The first lyric: "Got no card so I got no soul."

Absolutely love this twitter classic:

Exchange between two twitter users. A man called Scott Castaneda write to Tom Morella, "I use to be a fan until your political opinions come out. Music is my sanctuary and the last thing I want to hear is political bs when I'm listening to music. As far as I'm concerned you and pink are completely done. Keep running your mouth and ruining your fan base." User Howard Finklestein replies, "What 'machine' did you think he was raining against? The dishwasher?"

‘…the crew’s written reports of the preceding minutes offer a small but revealing sign of how on edge some federal agents working in the ICE facility are feeling…’
Awww- the poor widdle Nazis feel ‘on edge’? Good- participating in human trafficking should make a person feel like shit

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

OP was specifically talking about white supremacy and how it causes white people to deny, minimize and deflect from anti-Black racism. What you did here is like replying to Black Lives Matter with All lives matter. I suggest some introspection about why you feel a need to deflect from white racism.

Also why do white people act like if they didn’t notice racism or know it was racism it doesn’t exist? Any self reflection on why they wouldn’t notice?

this is very important, but not as important as making sure we never have a terminally online administration again

one thing we can never allow to happen again is making someone president who is rich enough to fund endless frivolous lawsuits

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. A cat skull with ears looks fucking weird. Maybe whoever designed it thought people wouldn't know what it was without ears. The ones that really bug me are the invertebrates made of 'bones.' Like bone spiders. It makes me want to throw my hands up and scream.
