@wayne peek are your ties that short and your pants that pleated?
Only on Saturday nights.
Iām thankful that minority groups are giving us our own space in our country. Gee wiz. āš»
@Asatru Artist - MD "-Update: After publication of this article, University of Maryland-College Park changed the name of the group to "Anti-Racism and Ally Building Group," along with a shorter description, which reads, "Do you want to improve your ability to relate to and connect with people different from yourself? Do you want to become a better ally? Members will support and share feedback with each other as they learn more about themselves and how they can fit into a diverse world."-"
So it's for white people, but only for white people to feel bad about themselves and learn to serve their new masters.
Another white guilt group in a "diverse" area? Imagine my shock.
I should show up at that group with some IE brochures and business cards. "Anyone in here not want to be a weak little beta? Come join us!" <:teehee:381917632359563264>
Also, JF & Borzoi's talk on "The Godfather pt 1" is some comfy listening.

Nah man, any white in that campus group is already antifa or at least cat-lady-neoliberal tier.
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I've been wondering if the white guilt syllabus is just a cover so they can finally meet without PoC around.
Most groups like that need a faculty advisor. That makes it, in my mind, less likely that it's some cover.
It would be an interesting cover.
Curious what you all think about us constantly using "their" terms? Are we conceding ground in the culture war by bending to their dictionary?
People of color (instead of a term more in our wheelhouse like non-whites), woke, thots, etc.
Even if we are using some of the words in jest, we are still using them...
There is a point there. I hate "woke" except in irony, because it's just not proper grammar.
Yeah, but even in irony, we are using their terms.
Then they become "normalized".
Kinda like how we have forced "anti-white" into the mouths of more normie tier whites now. š
@Asatru Artist - MD You know, I've thought about that as well. Really hit me when our guys started using "POC" . We reject PC culture, but embrace civility. Is there some medium ground?
I'm not sure what term would be "normie approved", because calling them "non-whites" wouldn't go over too well in mixed company.
As a catch all term, the left kinda nailed it, honestly. I just hate using their terms and making them part of our normal lexicon.
Not that whites don't have color, mind you... :-p
We are the "people of the light". ā
Whites have the most colors, technically speaking.
Hair, Eyes, and Skin.
yeah, blonde/redhead/brunette/black, blue/green/grey/brown, etc
yeah
I find it somewhat perplexing that "colored people" is considered taboo now, but rearrange the words to people of color and its acceptable.
Yeah, I always found that strange.
"colored people" = broke
"people of color" = woke

"people of spectrum"
There is an underlying linguistic mechanism. PC demands "people" comes first. "People with disabilities" vs "disabled people" is the most known example
my favorite is "differently abled"
they come up with some cringey terms and people just go with it.
Well, it has a bit to do with POC "reclaiming" words. For instance, they've normalized and made it socially acceptable to use "the N word" by stating they've reclaimed it by merely removing "the hard R". Which is really just putting into written speech the sounds that come out of people's mouths due to accent and linguistics. It's the same word.
following that mechanism, PoC are just "differently white", and gay people are "differently straight"
But woe be the person who is not socially acceptable or politically correct to use such phrases or words.
To all my IE borthers and sitsers in their late 20s and older, when the cool new memes are getting harder to understand...
