What norm, habit, type of person, or 'common' experience that you consciously agree exists, there's evidence that it does and other people say it does, but you've never actually seen it happen yourself? Bonus points if deep down your gut just doesn't believe it.

...racism? I don't think I've ever seen anybody being racist, minus my parents.

good fucking lord, you really seem to suffer from habitual contempt towards the systematically oppressed. How does it help you to come on here and deny their struggle? Just curious. You honestly think racism doesn't exist? For real? This edgelord bullshit is so goddamn exhausting

Do you actually think that I think racism doesn't exist? Do you actually think I feel contempt for the oppressed? Like, if you imagine being me, and empathizing with me, is that the world you think I inhabit?

tbh based on our interactions & ur words in this thread, yes it looks that way. That's how u come off & it's unnecessary, especially if you don't feel that way. You poke at & deflate groups who are fighting for their lives. It's recreational bitterness cloaked in naive curiosity

You have this image of me as bitter, and I'm wondering if you're curious if I experience any bitterness? I'm wondering if you're curious if I experience compassion for these groups you're referring to. I'm wondering if you are wondering what it's like to be me in this.

And in case there was any misunderstanding, my answer of 'racism' was in response to "things you believe exist but haven't seen personally." I believe racism exists because I believe other people, but I haven't seen anybody personally be racist. I'm not arguing racism isn't real.

this isn't fucken therapy, I haven't the first clue what it's like to be you. I'm just telling my friend and someone I greatly respect how horrendous the optics of this are. This is what you choose to focus on. If you have compassion show it. Try solidarity, it's a hell of a drug
