      What Kat says about being perceived as radical & irrational no matter what she says really rings true. Like how in 2017 Franchesca Ramsey would make these videos taking care to always be positive & smiling, but anti-SJWtube would still find a way to frame her as angry & offended.

      Whiteness, like maleness, grants you a degree of presumed rationality . A black creator can say "police brutality is a problem," while a white creator says "all cops are bastards," and somehow the black creator is still perceived as more militant.

      That's literally the situation in LeftTube & related communities, where I see mostly white voices saying "revolution now, punch Nazis, ACAB"—presumably because they *can* say those things without being perceived as hysterical & dangerous to the same extent as non-white radicals.

      I also think it's easier for white creators to perform this tedious ritual of "empathizing" with racists, which is apparently the holy grail of discourse & one of the main things I find myself praised for doing—never mind that I haven't done a video on race in more than a year.

      At this point I would simply love to turn over the whole discussion of race to non-white creators. But of course that would require audiences to stop hand-wringing about the feelings of racists and actually listen to POC. Are we ready for that?

      I mean personally I would adore some recommendations. Youtube is such a cesspit that if I try to look up stuff myself, I'm gonna get inundated with racist material instead. Most the philosophy/social issues people I follow are recs from other people I trust to avoid that problem.
