That long walk to saying "no, I'm not racist" lmao and then "Black people are my favorite race"

Me as a white passing ally to black people.

[@siiiiiuu7]

What I think flew right by a lot of people’s heads is that his answer is the textbook answer a lot of black ppl give (at least on social media) when confronted with their own racism against other groups. Like, you’ll see a post about a blatantly racist remark or violent hate crime (where the perpetrator is black and acting towards another racial/ethnic group) and majority of the comments will be black accounts saying nearly verbatim to what Joel said: “black people aren’t capable of being racist because this system doesn’t grant us power… we can only be prejudiced”. So basically a dude shouting “go back to your country, you _______” and attempting to kill them isn’t technically racist to some people lol. So it’s even more ironic and naively hilarious that Ziwe called him out for answering that way… bc it’s actually done all the time *awkward head scratch*

[@beatm6948]

@@siiiiiuu7 it's different definitions of racism. The former referred to in your comment i consider institutional racism, which black people are not capable of. However, interpersonal racism is different.

[@camille9803]

King was a great supporter of Bayard Rustin. Rustin was one of his main organizers and was standing right next to King during the March on Washington. When Rustin expressed fears of being outted by the FBI and of being possibly blacklisted, King reassured him and kept him in his company despite threats from J. Edgar Hoover's goons.

[@Fiyeroification]

I think the joke was that's what he was taught, not what the truth was (trying to be provocative back at Ziwe)

Ziwe… girl, I’d not only name four countries in Africa, I’d name ALL of them and locate them on the map by memory. World geography and knowledge of countries, borders, etc. is a blessing, and a basic thing to me, but apparently some consider that sort of knowledge “burdensome” or “a curse”.. despite living in the world of the internet.
