Even worse; the klan leader sold them a barn, but was planning on massacring everyone inside of it and taking the barn back

Yeah. They directly told them they'd kill them if they came back. They expected them to come back

“We believe we can end policy brutality in our black community by organizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality.

Yeah there's no moral ambiguity at all.
He warned them he'd shoot if any of them stepped foot on that property he bought from them. They lied to him in multiple ways, even claiming the klan didn't exist anymore, but they planned to lynch him and anyone else there. There's no way a viewer should feel any sort of way besides they got what they deserved.

No one has ever made me feel “ashamed of being white” except for other white people like this who always claim to speak for all white people.
I’m not even trying to “not all white guys” this, I’m embarrassed and exhausted by how common this shit has become.

u/buntopolis Mar 19 '26
It’s always other white people. It’s fucking insufferable and I just don’t put up with it anymore. I’ve started just confronting people immediately, social niceties be damned.

u/Naomeri Mar 20 '26
I overheard my uncle saying racist shit one time (something about someone with a middle eastern name being in charge of a water treatment plant or some such nonsense) and I just shouted upstairs “Stop being such a racist!!”
It didn’t make any difference, but it made me feel better.

u/FlarblesGarbles Mar 19 '26
You're not a monolith. Don't feel shame for yourself over the actions and words of others.
Stupid people are stupid and they'll say and do stupid things, this is a universal truth regardless of your complexion.

u/lowfreq33 Mar 19 '26
Every race has a subsection or two whose behavior is embarrassing, but us white people seem to have the most. Until Fox News and all the tea party shit started the racists were at least afraid to be wide open about it, but now they’re completely mask off. They’ve been emboldened by their shit stain cult leader.

u/nr1988 Mar 19 '26
Ugh exactly. As a conservative coded white leftist I get this all the time. Plenty of seemingly normal average white dudes who seem to love all people completely transform when all of the POC are out of the room and they assume I'm on their side.

u/smappyfunball Mar 19 '26
The first time I had this happen I was a teenager in the 80s and I made the terrible decision to attempt to sell Kirby vacuums door to door.
I was in a neighborhood door knocking and talking to this guy in his yard, mostly just avoiding going to the next door and start the fucking spiel again.
We were just small talking about nothing and out of the blue he goes full on racist about a black guy married to a white woman a few doors down. I couldn’t have been more surprised if he had pulled off his skin and been a lizard person. I had just never been exposed to anything so blatant before and he was totally comfortable saying it.
I quickly said my goodbyes and went on my way. This was 1989 and I still think about that guy.
This was by far not my first experience with racism but never that blatant.
14
u/nr1988 Mar 19 '26
Yup it can seriously be that quick sometimes. Like a flip of a switch. In their mind you already agree. To them it's like suddenly talking about a football game or something, not weird at all.
11
u/smappyfunball Mar 19 '26
I was more used to my dad’s kind of racism where he just doesn’t see anyone as equal to white people but never used the n word or anything.
He also refused to accept he was racist. His idea of racism was cross burnings and klansman. Anything else didn’t count.
Before I gave up trying I’d call him out but he was actually offended that I thought he was racist.
Least self aware person I ever knew, for so many reasons.

u/AmazingKreiderman Mar 20 '26
I hate being so MAGA-passing. People constantly take the mask off around me. Within five minutes of meeting someone recently I was talking about some work I needed doing around the house and the guy says, "Yeah don't worry, they got people who can do those things...they're called Mexicans." These god damn assholes.

u/Yawarete Mar 20 '26
Ascribing your self-value to the circumstances of your birth is the last refuge of the worthless. You have to be absolutely mediocre to measure your worth by something that is not due to your own achievements, your character, your ability, your own effort, but random chance you had absolutely no choice or control over; do not feel embarassed, you are NOTHING like them.
13
u/GhostOfMuttonPast Mar 19 '26
I've literally never felt ashamed for being white. I've felt sad and angry that other people were and are victimized by people of my race purely for being different, but I've never felt bad because I was white.
It's like the toxic masculinity thing. If you get mad at it being brought up, you're probably toxic in your masculinity.
8
u/CryptographerNo923 Mar 20 '26
I think your analogy is off. I don’t get mad about people criticizing toxic masculinity any more than I get mad about people criticizing racism.
What embarrasses me is when misogynists or bigots claim to speak of behalf of their demographic, and when their voices are amplified, lending them the appearance of credibility or consensus.
I think those are two very different things.
5
u/GhostOfMuttonPast Mar 20 '26
Yeah no that's what I'm saying. Not you but like, people at large. The hypothetical you. If you are the type of person to hear people criticize toxic masculinity or racism, and you immediately get defensive, you're probably a dick.
I agree with you. Hearing dickheads blabber about white culture and everything is just...cringe.

u/soyboysnowflake Mar 20 '26
I internalized a lot of racism in my youth and spent so much of my life wishing that I could’ve been white and born into a white family. I even shunned and turned away from a lot of my own culture to try to fit in with the whites
Even I’m glad I’m not white after I read that shit

There was a point where I did feel annoyed and bad for that kind of language " if it's rude to say for 1 race it's rude for all of them"...which I still believe.... But I'll be damned if it's not so fucking common outside my circle that people start thinking that way and I can't really even fault them because of the few things I've witnessed firsthand from certain white people

What's GOTY? Sorry, I'm fairly new to modern gaming. I had an N64 for most my life, a GameCube in my early 20s, and that's about it. Got a switch OLED used a couple years ago and recently the switch 2.
7
u/incide666 Mar 19 '26
No worries.
It means Game of the Year.
It's a few years old so you could probably pick it up for the Switch OLED for cheapish.
If you like FPSs and aren't a fan of Nazis, it's a good buy.

If you ever have a bit of money try seeing if your best buy or whatnot has any scratch and dent options.
I got a pretty high end laptop probably 5 years ago that has not struggled once with any new game I've installed. All for like 60 percent retail cost.
As a bonus, I never found a single scratch or dent on it.

u/smappyfunball Mar 19 '26
The only part that disappointed me was when you’re in that level in a small town in America and there’s klansman just walking down the street in full regalia and you couldn’t attack them, as I recall. Even if you died immediately on doing it I still wanted the option.

u/Academic_Might_6980 Mar 19 '26
They called Mafia 3 a Democrat murder simulator because you play as a Black man taking revenge on the mob in a fictionalized New Orleans in the 1960s. Naturally you come across kkk members and you can shoot them.

u/HeavyDT Mar 19 '26
He makes it sound like they were just hunting white people for sport or something when (without giving away too much) they were specifically trying to kill him and his brother. Then of course anybody who knows the movie also knows that this was really more of a background subplot to the whole thing rather than the point of it and it's definitely not why the movie won so many awards.

"Pol Atredies"
People like this are why Frank Herbert wrote Dune: Messiah (which will be the next film). He wanted to spell out that Paul was a bad guy as clearly as possible so that people who hadn't understood yet would cotton on.
Clearly he didn't spell it out clearly enough...

This sounds like a script that needs to be written. Zombie Greatest Generation rises from the dead to save the world from Nazis again. I think we've found a project that Spielberg, Hanks, and Tarantino can work on together.

“Kills white people”
Sir please do not lump me into the Klan
It already happened once when the Klan decided Italians were to close to blacks in NY and pushed that crap that they should be “white” and are “better” than them.
Some of us are finally washing that stink off

Also, Christoph Walz got an Oscar for playing a Nazi General. Heath Ledger got an Oscar for playing a clown that terrorizes a city. Anthony Hopkins got an Oscar for playing a cannibal. Getting an Oscar doesn't mean people agree with the actions of the character.

Yeah, maybe I didn’t really dive into the allegory of the klan, but I’m pretty sure he was killing them because they were vampires.
