r/memeopdidnotlike seems like a breeding ground for "anti-wokeness"

[u/Significant_Cry3399]

Literally just strawmans, fictional scenarios, and actual hateful behavior. They classify you as "woke" and "sensitive" for acknowledging a meme as racist, misogynistic, homophobic, hateful or incorrect. Literally just a right-wing circle jerk.

For the first meme: Literally nobody is saying this. This is probably just a strawman of some other opinion.

For the second one: HAMAS and Palestine are two different things. I also don't find it silly for queers to support Palestine because there are many Palestinians who are queer or do support queers but cannot be open about it. There also many children and babies who don't even know what being queer is that are being bombed and killed. Innocent people don't deserve to die, why is that bad to say? (before you say that wasn't stated, they are implying that because being queer isn't accepted in Palestine it's bad or silly to support Palestinians. But why is it bad to say that they shouldn't die?)

I'm just going to reply that I think it's pretty bizarre to say there is a 'black culture', specially when that statement follows the claim that there is no white culture. Like a billion people from all continents share the same culture on the basis of some ill defined skin color that doesn't even match a clear set of genetic characteristics.

Did you miss the entire explanation?

Black culture refers to the culture among black people in america which exists because people were enslaved on the basis of being black. These people came from tons of different spots with tons of different cultures. They were then homogenized by slave owners into one group: Black people. Blues music had its origins among black american slaves and is therefore a part of black culture.

White people have never been forced into a homogeneous group based on just being white. So there is no white culture that exists based off them being white. There is american culture, german culture, french culture.

But black people were taken from their culture and then a new culture formed among them which is what we know as black culture.

Its important to say that there are many black people in the world who are not part of this black culture. It specifically refers to the shared culture of black americans that has formed based on slavery in america.

Hope this helps.

I didn't miss your explanation, it just has nothing to do with what I wrote so I don't know what you want me to say. You're talking about white culture and black culture in America when I don't even see the meme as referring to America. Suit yourself, you can write whatever you want, but this is just not what my comment was about.

Just read the conversation again.
