    I love how POC in mostly white countries are celebrated so hard with the "WE WON! WE WON!" rhetoric but the average black/brown person in these countries is treated like they’re unwelcome guests.

    Maybe I’m too bitter but I’m sick and tired of seeing this faux support. Happens all the time in football/soccer too-- white folks cheering on POC athletes while still holding crazy racist views.

        For pointing out faux racial unity pushed by white folks? Oookay then, let’s pretend it doesn’t exist so we don’t hurt the white man’s feelings.

          Grouping an entire people as assumed racist because of the colour of their skin. Definition of racist in turn. This failed approach will never help the world.

              The irony of you not seeing yourself for the actions that have become you. Maybe try not seeing race in everything, you may get suddenly find your in a better world.

              But naw, keep flinging that resentment around you, lest you look inside yourself

                LMAO

                someone calls out the hilarious contradiction of celebrating POC on the podium as a nation while simultaneously ensuring their systemic discrimination as a nation

                you call them racist, talking down to them like they need to do some inward introspection about their own racism (???)

                go even further, calling the entire situation ironic while failing to realize you are literally wrecking yourself

                You cannot make this shit up, folks. How do you not recognize how utterly ridiculous you sound?

                Acting all smug with your sneers while literally putting on clown makeup, hilarious.

                Bringing out the most basic non-nuanced liberal dictionary definition of racism as if it will somehow justify your behavior.

                Here’s a tip, honey, only the racists do that.

                Gotta love how these types will always, always self report.

                  Look here, someone has nothing of value to offer except insults. You make blocking you a literal pleasure. Try expressing yourself in the future as someone with emotional depth and people might listen to you.

                  I’m not sticking around to discover if you are capable of growth.
