Yep. It's a gross generalization that acts as if white people in general are awful human beings.

What makes you think we just randomly neglected to read the final line? lol It changes nothing. People DO racebait. A white person should be able to call that shit out without being told "Oh yeah, well people of your skin tone historically do horrible shit so don't you dare have an opinion on this!"

Address everyone on an individualistic level. If I think your thoughts are wrong/flawed/etc., I'll tell you why. But I'll never say "lol you're white so STFU", because guess what? It only CONTRIBUTES to the racial tension in this country. Gee, it's almost as if NOBODY likes having their thoughts dismissed on the sole basis of skin color -- imagine that!

We shouldnt be hateful and pointing fingers at certain races about what happened in the past.

We should be open and accepful about a bright future with hardly any racism. And to start that, we need to stop bringing shit like this up. Leave it for the school and the history books.

It doesn't, but the topic title is asking if the tweet is racist, and the tweet is generalizing a race and sex/gender.

I get where's he's coming from, but it still is generalizing all white people like we are all bad. Caucacity is clever, but I don't think others would appreciate puns like that based on their race. A lot of stuff like this isn't really about what is said, but how it's said. Certain people talk like being white is inherently bad. I don't think all the double standards used against white people help either.

Still, not exactly a hill worth getting upset and dying over.

Can I just say that the "Africans enslaved their own" argument is really stupid?

Slavery sucks, but it's also been a part of human culture for millennia for various reasons.

What made slavery in America especially heinous (though probably not unique in all of human history) is that rather than the slavery of the victorious in combat or society, it was the enslavement of people on the sole qualifier that their skintone made them less human than the glorious whites.

Excerting dominance due to might, as the African slavetraders did, is only vaguely comparable to exerting dominance due to the subject of said dominance being subhuman, as the white slave purchasers and subsequent traders and owners did. It is certainly not a "gotcha, American slavery wasn't that bad, dawg!" like some people seem to think it is.

In nearly any other context I would agree with you.

But to counter a fallacy of someone saying "Well the Dutch and Americans enslaved Africans in the past, therefore white people aren't allowed to criticize me." by bringing up that white people weren't the only ones doing that is a valid point

It's just a really dumb point
