ITT: white people thinking that they can be victims of racism too

The whole (modern) concept of "race" is historically inseparable from the ideology of white supremacy. And furthermore, the notion that racism exists against white people is self-refuting because the concept of "whiteness" is likewise historically inseparable from the ideology of white supremacy. And for there to be supremacy, there has to be the opposite of supremacy: subjugation, marginalization, oppression.

Those who are socially (because race is socially mediated) considered "white" and accept that designation but simultaneously deny that white supremacy and racism in American society are inseparable are being intellectually dishonest. And whites who claim to be victims of racism themselves are not only being dishonest, they are also insulting those who experience actual racism and oppression. But I'm sure this post will be either ignored or attacked by those who would rather not have their precious feelings hurt by someone pointing out social and historical reality.

Edgy, as always!

LLR, I don't think you'd actually believe that, but how would the same joke with a different race be received?  Rightfully horribly, as should this.

     It is true; it says something about public perception of race when whites are the only group of people that it is socially acceptable to make fun of based on their skin color.

Let me know when making fun of white people is paired with centuries of violence, intimidation, disenfranchisement, and publicly and socially sanctioned discrimination that has destroyed and continues to destroy (or at the very least, adversely affect) the lives of an entire social group.

This concern trolling about "reverse racism" is utterly tiresome.
