      The one on the right, definitely, but I think the one on the left is the coward’s child / victim Edit: looking again, I think they’re both children

            Kids are taught racism. They don’t know any better.

              In my school system, we were also taught that racism was wrong and why. There were a few kids in high school who did not care about those lessons.

                To be fair children are going to internalize what’s taught in their household by their parents and family members far more easily than what’s in school, especially when those teachings are reinforced by their peers, friends, authority figures, local culture…

                  I don’t buy the narrative that kids can’t be assholes too. When does it become fair to blame someone for their views? On their 18th birthday when they become a real human?

                So why are you living in a fundamentally white supremacist society, then?

                  Can you just say what you’re driving at? I’m obviously saying that people rejected this teaching so your statement is pretty confusing.

                    Trying to have a discussion with masquenox is like bashing your head against a stubborn, obtuse brick wall, without the joy. They are just a giant time-suck contrarian that will argue everything in bad faith. Best to ignore if you value your sanity.

                    Can you just say what you’re driving at?

                    What I’m driving at is that I don’t think your school really taught you anything about white supremacism - they merely taught you enough about it so that they (and you) can pretend that they did.

                    I’m going to go ahead and assume that none of your teachers actually took any time to explain to you what “white” even is.
