The measured response of our fair and balanced mod team.

Very quick to respond to this but not actual racism taking place, lol

How about actually responding with something other than a snarky face. That would be more constructive.

My point being someone themselves being a part of a marginalized group doesn’t exclude them from engaging in harmful rhetoric against that group. This is a nearly central component of neocolonial relationships of oppression.

It’s disgusting that the mods decided to nuke the other thread because it was a “struggle session”. It’s clear to me that their answer to the prevalent and clear racism on this site is to let it go unchallenged and to police those that are most effected by it. This is the natural result of being so focused on growing the site as utmost priority. Particularly if that growth is going to be coming from reddit there is no way that there can be any significant inflow while also ensuring that these attitudes are effectively challenged. Instead the focus should be on creating a community that is actually responsive and safe for it’s marginalized and oppressed comrades.

This post goes over a few of the things that have been happening recently here: https://hexbear.net/post/92180/comment/1012786

So did he actual do anything better than obama, or was this a thinly veiled racist dogwhistle?
