since I've not seen usamerican used to be antiblack (at least as far as I'm aware!) I'm wondering if there's any way to spot it. or I guess wondering how to tell the difference between people using it "normally" and people using it to target black Americans. I'm VERY ready to believe people are doing that, I just have very little exposure to the term and I'm not from the States so I'm mostly trying to make sure it's something I can keep an eye out for and call out/block users if I encounter it

that's a good question. i wish i could find a post to illustrate it in action but usually usamerican is being used as a front for antiblackness when the person in question is complaining abt the visibility of issues. for example. let's say there's an awful tragedy involving police killing someone in france. well the person will say something like 'god ik usamericans won't reblog this bc they only care abt THEIR issues. they don't support anyone else theyre so selfish and oppress all of us' and its like ok. we're talking abt police brutality. which group of americans in the us are affected by that? black americans. so implying that black ppl only care abt themselves while conflating black americans being victims of imperialism (being killed in the streets) with being oppressors just bc they were forcibly brought into a imperialist nation

basically when you see someone complain abt usamericans in a sociopolitical context give it a once over that theyre not trying to blame black americans and other racial minorities in america for things they are victims of themselves. if its a funny post abt how usamericans will drive 4 hrs and think thats nothing? no problem. saying usamericans need to shut up and stop whining abt how bad their country is bc they ruined other places is a cause for concern bc the ppl who are complaining in america.....are victims OF america as well (and in terms of blackness would have a lesser quality of life ANYWHERE bc of, you know, antiblackness)

A little special something for something even more special. Hint: it's about love and fears and birthdays and new beginnings

Me watching the LGBT community who almost never rarely gives black women and girls, asexuals, or aromantics genuine respect, pretend we’re all friends and have always treated us right the minute it’s June 1st and want to use black women(mainly darkskinned) and girls as their little poster girl:

I've learned through activism and my educational background in Women's Studies that power is power. It can corrupt anyone in spite of themselves. Women are not immune to such corruption. Women's movements can be just as destructive as they are constructive especially when used to disguise bigotry and pure hate. This concept is not new and it was the foundation for the third wave of feminism. It is troubling to me at how shocked and appalled the reactions by the general public continue to be whenever women are exposed as central to hate speech and bigotry. Accountability should always be the standard in any movement. Women continue to oppress other women by weaponizing feminism.

"While the organization is new, its politics are anything but. The mobilization of right-wing women, particularly mothers on a mission to protect children by battling educators and school boards, has been central to conservative politics in the US for much of the past century. And while schools might be the focal point of their activism, groups like Moms for Liberty aren’t composed primarily of education activists concerned with “parental rights.” They also have to be understood as a core part of a broader and longstanding reactionary movement centered on restoring traditional hierarchies of race, gender and sexuality — a movement in which conservative mothers have always played a particularly powerful role."

"percy's clearly the strongest demigod" "nah it's jason" "lmfao wtf are you on its neither but actually nico."

BUT uhmmm sorry but. y'all are wrong. OBVIOUSLY the strongest demigod is hazel levesque who could probably instantkill the seven immediately but is just too fucking nice honestly.

i hope all the terfs looking at my blog rn are able to grab me a beer and maybe make me a sandwich perhaps while they’re at it

Throwing in the occasional "cracker" whenever I'm arguing with a winterpunk "whitemisia is a big problem guys!1!!" mf and watching them shit themselves acting like i just killed their whole family lmao

Also just as an fyi using "norse" as a collective term for current-day nordic or scandinavian people and languages is both incorrect and also, notably, a very common narrative in white supremacist and neonazi communities so like. I'm not saying anyone's inherently a bad person for this but it might be worth having a think about why this is the word used okay thank you 😊

been seeing. a lot of posts lately that r more than toeing the line between being anti-Israel gov & downright antisemitic 😷 but not sure what to do. like almost every one of these posts ive seen straight up has comments of support from very unsavory and disgusting white supremacists. like the amount of antisemitic memes ive seen shared on these posts and very alarming comments is making me feel a bit ill lol

Daily reminder for both fiction and real life: all forms of ethnocentrism ≠ systemic white supremacy.

White people stop projecting the very specific context of white imperialism onto the default human experience challenge.

My least favorite genre of Batkids posts is ones that say all of Bruce's kids have dark hair like him yet somehow are about all of them except the one who's literally black yet are also about a character who's not even DC lol

Privileged white gentile women in the 21st century will read about the witch hunts throughout history during which the Jews, the Romani, the disabled, the neurodivergent, the people of color, the socially disadvantaged suffered the most and say "this is about me."

How could've i have been so blind and not seen 'til now that is is Jaysumm........

Posting this here for receipts in case someone decides to steal this killer line of poetry I wrote for a spotify playlist description of all things (and which, together with the title, sounds like the heading of an essay that I would immediately want to read very badly):

Floofty did you just defend a human zoo?

A fictional zoo in the literal sense of aliens treating humans like wildlife which was primarily designed by a black man, yes.
