ID for all 3 images: White text on a black background:
"Fascist raids by law enforcement should be met with:
I don’t know.
I can’t help.
I do not know anybody’s legal status.
I have no idea who is an immigrant.
White folks are used to being polite and accommodating to cops.
Do not fall into your old ways.
For once, your silence will not be violence. STFU if the cops come looking for your neighbours. No matter how friendly.
Fascism only works if we go along with it. Fascism only works if we surrender to it.
Resist.
Do not say a word about your neighbours. As far as the cops are concerned you’re a recluse who doesn’t talk to anybody where you live."

I was on board until you randomly called out "white people" for no reason, to no benefit. Good job pissing off an ally for no reason.
Were you ever really an ally though? Seems like you're looking for an excuse not to be.
Stop being controversial. Why would I want to hang out with a bunch of people who hate me because I'm white? This is a dumb conversation.
Stop being dramatic. You took a statement about white people being accustomed to cooperating with the police and turned it into "people hate me because I'm white".
are they wrong tho? white people historically have been entirely complicit with cops
Why is it okay to group white people together and not any other race? Its an economic/historic thing, not a race thing. It also varies by country and geography. Stop being racist. Stop being racist. Stop being racist.
I don't think you understand what racism is. racism is when a group that is historically disadvantaged is prejudiced against. like black people, for example, who have had an entire power structure against them both historically and presently in this country. you cannot be racist against white people because there isn't a power dynamic there. you can be prejudiced against white people, but racism implies an uneven power structure.
This is objectively wrong. You can be racist against anybody, color aside. Stop it. Everyone deserves fair treatment, including white people. Just give it up; you're in the wrong and you're not doing any good for the movement. You're just making more enemies by being prejudice.
jesus my friend you should go read some literature and hopefully reconcile some of your opinions with yourself. I reccomend the wretched of the earth by franz fanon.
edit: and for the love of god, no one hates you because your white. that's taking the original post wayyyy out of context. even if you could be racist against white people (which you seem very intent on believing even though every expert opinion disagrees with you), it wouldn't be racist to say white people historically have sided with cops and turned a blind eye. just like it's not racist to say black people have historically been disadvantaged. because it's a true observation that isn't pushing any kind of narrative.
Hey maybe try to have more good faith when engaging with posts like this. They do not have to #notallwhites to get the benefit of doubt that they are aware that ehite folks can be and are allies
Or just leave my race out of it and call out the actual people who are doing the bad? Novel idea.
This is very clearly a post for the united states where the history makes the game. What other ethnic groups in the good ol’ US of A have been historically complicit with the police and systemic oppression?
Answer: once ethic groups stop being oppressed here we start calling them white. Irish and Italian immigrants used to be non-white until it became convenient to bundle them in.
Then you are not and never were an ally. I have "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo on my reading list. You might consider adding it to yours as well
Sounds like racism to me
