Do I come across as a white guy? Maybe sometimes?

lol seems like an odd topic

 

[LazaRRus]

He said he was I believe just one time, and it's inconsistent with his previous account or other comments (including ITT). Multiple posters could have seen that one post. There was a big difference in tone between his previous account and his current one when the current one was new, and that kind of melted away.

Not seeing any way in which he doesn't come across as a white guy. Are you just thinking because he's a leftist?

i don't care what his political affiliation is. I just don't see what point it serves to lie about your race (which it seems he did).

It makes every conversation dishonest (or a lot of others on the other side).

Race shouldn't play a factor either way but if you ate using it to create an agenda (Trotsky definitely does) then you shouldn't troll.

I'm white. See how easy that is?

what would the six questions be to determine if someone is the worst kind of conservative in the mind of a liberal or leftist?

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

I get that you're kind of shit posting (and no judgement there; we all do from time to time), but you do get that you're failing to connect your "WPEM" stuff, right?

Andy Capp (don't know the other one you're referring to) is clearly not all that racially ideological, let alone a self-hating white person or anti-white at all. And it's very rare that I ever even see you point out a post by anyone that is anti-white. At most, some stooge will post a Breitbart-style article or a random tweet from some nobody and you'll make a general statement about WPEM's and how they're all going to rush to defend it....and the no one does. Hell, just yesterday (or this morning?) tonni was being singled out as the "only leftist," and tonni is not very socially progressive.

You acknowledged that I'm one of the more "extreme" posters here, so I figured I would take your "litmus test" on the subject:

1) do you believe in CRT?

Answer: Yes, I guess? It's kind of a hard question to answer. I don't think the framework is infallible, that it can explain everything, or that it isn't misused, but I think it uncovers a lot of truth and bears a lot of valuable analysis. It's frankly not super relevant. No high school teachers are doing sections on Critical Race Theory. Hell, even as a social science major in college, I only came across it in a couple classes and didn't see anything super scandalous. It just studies phenomena that correlate to race along the lines of racial confrontation, domination, and norm-creation.​

2) do you believe only white people can be racist?

Answer: No, not how you are meaning it. When most (99%) of people talk about "racism," they are talking broadly about prejudice, animus, and discrimination along the lines of racial identity. Of course, using that more liberal definition, everyone can be (or is) racist. If someone is using the sociological concept of racism as those things plus institutional power, I think it's fair to say "only [the ethnic/racial group in power] can be racist."​

3) do you believe in Defund the police?

Answer: Yes, but this is again super vague. I don't believe in abolishing the police, but I do think that, particularly at the municipal level, bloated police expenditures (think, advanced weaponry and equipment that never gets used) could be better served being allocated toward social services. Don't you agree?​

4) do you kneecap your own opinions and start off by saying, "as a white Cis-gender male..."

Answer: Yes - well, no one says that in regard to everything. But I do think it's important for one to acknowledge their own experiential limitations. If someone asks me about discrimination against immigrants or transgender persons, I can give my opinion but there's no harm in my acknowledging that I've never been an immigrant or a transgender person. Don't you agree?​

5) Do you pay heed to Ibram Kendi or Robin D'Angelo?

Answer: No. That one was pretty easy.​

6) do you believe Asians benefit from "white privilege?"

Answer: No, but it's another complicated question depending on how you conceptualize "white privilege." In a few ways, as I've stated here before, Asian Americans suffer uniquely from lack of political representation.
​

So I get about 3, but I'm

Disagree about the CRT in high school thing and I don't think Kendi is terrible (though White Fragility is), but otherwise these would also be my answers.

I think this particular poster had maybe been doxxed before and had unpleasant things happen due to it. And so he was dishonest about certain things to throw people off the scent as it were.

I’m not positive but that’s what I think I recall

dis you?

lmao! That was good

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Why does it surprise you?

Considering it's been told to me multiple times he was African American (not by all troll posters) that's why.

I don't care if he is or isn't but he certainly doesn't come across as a white guy

I'll weigh in here.

I thought @Trotsky was white from the get go but there was a period of time where I thought he could be black and it was actually an exchange with Jack where he was explaining who Fred Hampton was (never heard of him before that).

Trots is an actual leftists and knows the history of the movement and it seems to be really intertwined with the Civil Rights movement in the US (MLK being a socialist) from what I've learned.

So I can see how some might have thought he was black but really that's says more about me and my ignorance on those topics than Trots trying to cosplay a black dude lol.

I'm a sucker for standup bass.

The 6th circuit just overturned the bump stock ban GOA case @Cubo de Sangre

Divided Sixth Circuit Panel Rejects Chevron Deference for Interpretation of Criminal Statute
A long awaited decision in a challenge to the Trump Administration's "bump stock" ban tees up some interesting questions for the High Court's review.

https://reason.com/volokh/2021/03/2...rence-for-interpretation-of-criminal-statute/

Always a surprise when the court does the right thing. This case isn't really even about guns. It's about some agency writing new legislation by blatantly ignoring a clear definition laid out by congress. Saying bumpstocks fit the term "machinegun" is nothing short of dishonest.

You're like .01 of a @Cubo de Sangre

Maybe .04 of a @Gregolian

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Basically it would be like people thinking I'm black because I post Michael Harriot tweets occasionally.... lol

 

[Falsedawn]

Do we even care enough to try and define it? The worst chuds expose themselves unprompted pretty regularly.

But he tales a strong political stance. Admitting what race you are isn't even close to to an issue unless you choose to make it one.

There are people lying here and it's absolutely pointless

no, of your ass and dick. not your cars.

 

[Jesus H. Sherdog]

I’m fairly certain @Cubo de Sangre is black because I just saw that Mike Tomlin gif tbh imo

 

[sickc0d3r]

Trotsky once claimed to be black and I believed him. But, it always confused me because, while I don’t know for a fact he has a ponytail, I just know it’s true.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

He said he was I believe just one time, and it's inconsistent with his previous account or other comments (including ITT). Multiple posters could have seen that one post. There was a big difference in tone between his previous account and his current one when the current one was new, and that kind of melted away.

Not seeing any way in which he doesn't come across as a white guy. Are you just thinking because he's a leftist?



Seriously?

I said that in jest...

Trots told me a long time ago he was mixed.

and besides...one mutt...can smell out another. and when I use mutt, I use that as a term of affection, not in a racially derogatory way.

However, prior to Trots telling me this, I could tell he wasn't white.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

ok @Lowmanproblems out of respect for you...I'm going to place these two on ignore...

I think this also improves my odds of making it 30 days on dubbs as well.

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

I thought @Cubo de Sangre was some kind of Hispanic because he always talked about hanging in Lil Puerto Rico while in Philly lol

He's an alien.

i don't care what his political affiliation is. I just don't see what point it serves to lie about your race (which it seems he did).

It makes every conversation dishonest (or a lot of others on the other side).

I think he did regardless of what his actual race is, and he basically said as much ITT.

Race shouldn't play a factor either way but if you ate using it to create an agenda (Trotsky definitely does) then you shouldn't troll.

I'm white. See how easy that is?

I disagree that he uses it to create an agenda or in any way (I suspect that it was partly a gimmick, partly about resetting to make himself less doxxable). But I agree that honesty is best. What I think is confusing is why anyone finds it hard to believe.

It's sometimes not so easy. Personally, I've said I could pass for white but don't really consider myself white. Mixed, complicated. Possible that something like that is going on with Trotsky.
