This is of course, a dog whistle racist stereotype. The REAL problem is black fathers abandoning their children and leaving them without father figures growing up. Say you hold the belief that Police aren’t the real problem when it comes to Black Lives. The concise version of this is “If you can imagine it, there is porn of it on the internet.” Seriously, this is a theory you don’t wan’t too explore too in depth for … reasons.Īt the same time, this doesn’t just apply to Porn. If you’ve been on the internet for a while, you’ve heard of Rule 34. Let’s be very clear, you’re trying to amplify the voices that go along with your core set of beliefs. I’ve heard this justification very recently. “I’m not a racist! I’m trying to amplify the voices that aren’t being heard!” And this is that one last effort as I let go of those ropes. One of those frustrating things are the racists and conspiracy theorists that I’ve tried to educate. What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like y… er… internet trolls. I’m at the end of several ropes right now, and I’m desperately trying to find the right ones to let go of. Meanwhile, being an American Expat watching from a distance, it tears me up to know I can’t do more. It’s impossible for them to hide or turn it off. I have many friends who don’t have the privilege of stepping back from the current fight. This in and of itself is a form of privilege and also a burden on it’s own. I only have so much energy, and I will stand to support important causes, while still doing everything I can to protect my own self and sanity. Madeline Khan in Blazing Saddles kind of tired.
