   #Racism

   This is the Weebly Racism Scale.
   Please note where, "I don't see color" falls, and how it is not some proof that you aren't racist.

     @kellyromanych @Violinknitter — yes. Thanks! I will compile and do the alt-text ASAP.
     I’m at the hospital (not me) and my network access is spotty.

     Terrorism:
     I would/have killed a black person simply for being black

     Violent Black Face (Depict Hangings, etc)

     I inflict fear upon black people on purpose

     l inflict fear upon black people
     "as a joke"

     @kellyromanych @Violinknitter — nothing a few pints of blood can’t fix. I’ve been reminded how many of my favorite people benefit from modern healthcare and that a hundred years ago, I’d be making funeral arrangements instead of worrying about some alt-text. 😊

     @ainiriand --
     "Epic tales aren't built overnight. But fuelled by enough coffee, we can create legends."

     You can always tell who the posers are. I was there in front of the George Floyd protests and a friend of mine lost his eye when the cops threw a flashbang in his face.

     There are the people that get out there and change the world and then there are those that just talk about it. Why would you call yourself out like that?

     @jeffowski probably the line before the last, but it is easy to judge oneself too lightly I guess.

     @ainiriand — and I’m a network engineer. My friend is an artist and medical manufacturing chemist.
     What you’ll find is that once you start participating and getting involved in something, the right actions are easy to see.
     It is the complacency that is infuriating because this doesn’t end until enough people that racism DOESN’T AFFECT stand up and help change things, nothing changes In a democracy, you need a majority, minorities and minority groups are simply just fucked.

     @ainiriand — MLK Jr expressed this same frustration in 1963 in A Letter From A Birmingham Jail. So if I sound frustrated that we are still rehashing your argument for inaction, it’s because I fucking am.
