Pretty sure there's no one out there saying it's "not ok" to be white. Lots of people out there saying it's not ok to be a shitty person, and white people seem to hold a corner market on that demographic the past few (hundred (thousand(s of))) years.

Frickin' new Twitter/Tweetdeck formatting. I didn't see the link, just the image. I get the "people stop being scared of you" narrative, but that's just a part of the piece. Overall about the "movement" and ridiculousness. Long before Jamestown, it's been "ok" to be white.

The point isn't to argue that "it's okay to be white". It's a troll strategy to control the conversation. Like "when did you stop beating your wife" or "how long have you been a pedophile". Responding to it is irresistible. 1/

2/ it feels like it should be easy to counter, but then you find yourself taking way too long to actually counter it without legitimizing it, which ends up legitimizing it anyway. Don't feed trolls.
