As a black person who went through a huge internalized racism arc, when I ventured into leftist spaces that said stuff like "Fuck white people.", I got enraged and responded with something along the lines of "As a black person, that's totally fucked up! This is the opposite of what MLK promoted!'.
I got laughed at and called a "bootlicker", all while thinking I was some cool, grandiose, and righteous figure in this context.
Boy, do times change or what!?
As a white (kinda), I still find it cringe. Could you elaborate why that's not?
