The Fediverse has a white people problem. White people refuse to acknowledge their own privilege here. And no matter how reasonable and fact-based you are, they would sooner unfollow you rather than consider their own inherent biases, which have been well documented by many. This failure to grapple with systemic racism is obviously tied in with late-stage capitalism, which rewards white people for looking the other way and keeping their complacent middle-class heads lodged in the sand. This behavior is really not much different from how things stood one hundred years ago, as the terrific volume BLACK METROPOLIS has informed me. If most of these upper middle-class types on Mastodon existed then, they would behave as whites did then. The time has come for white people to listen to others and consider the dregs of their own prejudices.
