What if he's expressing his racist thoughts but doesn't know it/is unaware of them? Are we supposed to tolerate that?

What I mean is: just because you're not consciously aware of being a racist doesn't mean you're not a racist. Re, the news person

We have not and will not flag your post and you're free to take your opinions elsewhere. I'd rather not call the mods, but if you insist on continuing to disturb our posters I will. Please leave.

wtf, that's just obnoxious from the other end. no one needs to be threatened by self-appointed ilx posse spokespeople. plz don't speak for me, ok?

well, that brings up the interesting invisibility of race in a virtual environment. there are lots of regular ILX posters about whom i know very little. you have to spend a fair amount of time here and pay close attention to sometimes subtle cues to begin to be able to accurately sort people by things like race and gender. i initially responded to dayo without considering that, which, in retrospect, was thoughtless of me.

Subtle cues like the WDYLL thread?

It isn't "invisibility", it's "normalization".

i feel like its usually better to err on the side of not telling people that their feelings are wrong, generally
― max, Friday, 24 February 2012 15:38 (twelve years ago) link
also its good practice not to say things that can reformulated as "isnt it you who is the real racist"

ideally you wouldn't tell people that what they're telling people is wrong. but since that's not the case, I can say this!
― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 15:40 (twelve years ago) link
so wait, is telling people that telling people that they are telling people that what they feeling is wrong, wrong? I'm trying to make a chart
― robbery by sudden snatching (DJP), Friday, 24 February 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
well there are exceptions, for example if you feel that dayo is the real racist, your feeling is wrong

didn't we already have a huge discussion about how things can be racist even if the person doing those things is not Hitler

does contenderizer even think hitler is racist tho

that was buzza! in any case if it wasn't clear before, I'm really sorry for attempting to defend ghettohikes and I'm sorry!

newsreader thing seems like a guy saying a sports phrase, but saying that i really don't think dyao is a racist for believing otherwise and hope the court rules against contenderizer here, who is also prob not racist but sure likes to argue about this stuff

DJP otm about normalization; also my guess would be that posters of color on ilx are hyperaware of the races of other posters, just like in the world. i know i make a mental note about it. this is not to blame white posters for anything; it's just to say. WDYLL thread is not the source for my mental database about this stuff fwiw.
