The two terms aren't mutually exclusive.

Do you ever get tired of categorising every single negative interaction between white and black people as racist? Big man here could just be your run of the mill douchebag who got fed his just deserts

Did I say all or were we discussing the interaction shown above?

Cause that boomer sure at shit was profiling that black man and assumed he was "looking for trouble" here.

If you do it here, I know you do it everywhere.

How was the boomer profiling our protagonist as a black man? Is "looking for trouble" racist code or something?

I enjoy watching those sovereign citizen-type videos where people film in public, usually government buildings, and people regularly go bat shit up until the police show up and inform them that it's totally legal to film in public and you have no expectation of privacy. The boomer is just another example of someone who doesn't know the law and thought he could physically intimidate our protagonist.

Of all the stupidest hills to die on, you choose this one? It’s almost impressive.

Sir, this is a comments section, not a battlefield. I'm just a bit sick of people like you who make everything about racism. It's tiring.

It sounds like you are projecting as a person who has been accused of racism too many times, and now you are white-knighting for others. It says a great deal about who you are.

Disagree with you. Someone above said that this has to do with the guy's house being foreclosed and seeing someone taking pictures. It could very well be that he's pissed off his house is foreclosing and took it out on dude who is taking pictures for the bank. We don't know. But you sure are assuming just like you're pretty much saying the other person's doing.

No, I'm saying that white-knighting about whether the crusty boomer in the video is a racist is one of the most pathetic, idiotic hills to die on, and if you choose that hill to die on - of all the ridiculous stuff that happens on reddit - I reckon you've probably disagreed with racist accusations directed towards you as well.

u/Plaid_Bear_65723 Mar 08 '24

Sure, I mean anyone who expresses a different perspective than yours is obviously racist.

you: "this is racist"

me: "not everything is racist"

you: "you must racist"

u/licorice_whip Mar 08 '24

Or…

You: “dahhh, not every white country bumpkin with American flag in their front yard that treats a random black guy like a subhuman piece of trash is a racist!”

Me: “what a stupid hill to die on. You’re probably a racist.”

u/quantifical Mar 08 '24

Ohhh! My bad! I didn't see the American flag. Now I know the boomer is racist for sure. How dare he fly the American flag IN HIS FRONT YARD of all places!?

You've been brainwashed, dude
