The majority of online conversations I've seen about punching Nazis fall squarely into concern trolling from white folks.

Folks who could be having different and better conversations at a time when Nazis are literally mowing people down in public. Ahem.

Time and again, white folks asking the punching Nazis question essentially assume poc don't exist. We don't work into their imagination.

I can't and I won't speak for all poc. But you might want to assume how some of us would respond to someone calling us slurs to our face.

If you're a white person concern trolling about punching Nazis you should start to assume some poc will knock a Nazi tf out. It happens.

You should also put a really hard stop to upholding Ghandi as your punching Nazis guide. He was an anti-black man who not all of us respect.

Stay with me. It's about to get better for those of you who don't know recent history and haven't bothered to learn. Let's go back 20 years.

There was a KKK rally in Ann Arbor 20 years ago. There's a resulting logo from that rally -- it's a Nazi being kicked in the face.pic.twitter.com/JevJBvuLP7

GOOD NIGHT WHITE PRIDE remains a rallying call for anti-fascists. But who are the people in the image? One's a Nazi; the other a black man.pic.twitter.com/ByUgglP2N7

The man seen kicking the Nazi is Harlon Jones. He was a teen at this time. Here's an interview with him:https://itsgoingdown.org/good-night-white-pride-interview-harlon-jones/ …

Jones's take on Ann Arbor/his role 20 years later: "The goal was to have the KKK never come back to Ann Arbor again. And we achieved that."

Funny how not one white person concern trolling about punching Nazis ever took the time to educate themselves about Harlon Jones.

Jones doesn't speak for every poc either. But if you're going spend time thinking about punching Nazis, then you should know about him.
