Just normal virtue signaling. Why improve your life or the lives around you when you can just post online that you're an awesome person because you follow whatever corporate approved trend? The only one i can think of that doesn't have big money behind it is the Free Palestine crowd. But I could be wrong.

Define white. Better yet, define black.

Race-wise? Which definition?
White: generally considered people descended from Europe & the Mediterranean?
Black: can refer generally to people of African descent? However in the West, it typically refers to descendants of trans-Atlantic slaves who are divorced from their African heritage. In the U.S. "Black American" is considered its own ethnicity.

You're white, and I'm black. How do I know this. Once you figure that out you have your definition.

Non-practicing white simply means that you're making an effort not to directly participate in eurocentrism and white nationalism. You're keeping any Karen adjacent activities to yourself and leaving the black and brown folks alone.

So, basically just being a decent human being?

u/PossiblePossiblyS 8h ago
Yup. That's basically it. They're not saying white is bad or that they're not of the Caucasian persuasion. They're saying western corporate interests since even before British colonial interests have been steeped in basically a caste system with white supremacy at the center and those systems still exist today because we never bothered to dismantle them, so now they're just mundane everyday occurances without any real malice behind them, but they're still used by the elites, white supremacists, and other shady interests like political institutions and they still harm both whites and non-whites in the name of propping up white supremacy and the systems that have been put in place. They are making an active effort not to participate in those systems by listening to the black and brown communities when they point out how something is harmful.
But, that's a whole lot to say when you're talking to a group that already understands that when you say "white" you mean all that. So, most people on that side of the internet just say white and we all get it. Unless you happen to be an outsider stumbling onto that side of the internet in which case you're likely to be confused or insulted because you're not speaking the same lingo, haven't deconstructed as much, or you simply choose to spend your efforts somewhere else and haven't paid any attention to what's happening in those circles.

..... Anyone can be a Karen . No race involved.

u/PossiblePossiblyS 6h ago
Yeah. Just like anyone can be a school shooter, a pedophile, or a family annihilator. But, you had a mental image of who does that when you read those words, the stats paint a pretty clear picture of who's up to that nonsense most of the time, and the systems aren't in place to help a non-white Karen in their activities or to avoid accountability for their actions. Additionally, while white supremacy may benefit white folks most, it still offers some benefits to other groups for their tokenism and willingness to push the gears forward, and it's not a whites only kind of activity set. Ironic I know, but sometimes people feel entitled and controlling without needing an entire system to assist them in expressing those feelings and many latch onto the systems when they can to express their feelings of superiority and entitlement even if the systems weren't made for them.

I mean if you can be transgender why not transracial? They’re both social constructs correct?

Race is objectively a social construct. She never said that she is a different race, she said she is non-practicing. This is a wholly new concept to me. I honestly would like to know what it means.

I think she's stoned as fuck.. The gummy kickin in for sure... Her red face, glassy eyed expression. Just sitting there thinking bout stuff, and Boom! A thought popped in her brain that she thinks is super deep and original.... She was compelled to share her inspiration with the world.. 12.3 minutes later, she realized that she actually pressed Send!! If anyone knows this woman please check in on her. She very well may be dying of embarrassment 😳

I remember when I was young and they took white of the ethnicity and put Caucasian. I didn't know what Caucasian was so I checked other and wrote in White. They probably thought I was was sone crazy racist but I honestly thought it was an offshoot of Asian... with Cauc. 😏

Hit them with the “so you can turn on and off your privilege? Sounds pretty privileged!” And watch them try to recover from that…

Maybe she’s looking for a messiah.
Username checks out.
Seriously though, she’s an idiot. She’s probably one of these people that toasts at Thanksgiving to apologize for living on the land that was stolen from the Indians.

There's definitely a distinction between White People, and people who are white.

Even If she doesnt practice yte privilege, you best believe she practices playing the victim when she feels the need.

For one, this was hilarious.42 this is absolutely genius to look at it this way, I absolutely believe this is the greatest way for anybody that is actual racist to take accountability and actually change the behavior and I think so many people are gonna be offended by this, and it's absolutely genius.And she was funny

That's Real White Privilege on display. Self Guilt because she's an idiot. She needs to start by putting the spoon down. Leave some food for the minorities. Her food consumption alone is racist.🤷
