He says that KKK members have many misconceptions about black people, which stem mostly from intense brainwashing in the home. When the Klansmen get to know him, he says, it becomes impossible for them to hold on to their prejudices. He explains:
This Klansman and I were riding around in my car and the topic of crime came up. He made the remark that all black people had a gene that makes us violent. I said ‘Gary, what are you talking about?’ He said ‘Who’s doing all the shootings?’ I said ‘let me tell you something, I am as black as anyone you’ve ever seen and I’ve never done a drive by or a shooting.’ After a time I said ‘you know, it’s a fact that all white people have within them a gene that makes them serial killers. Name me three black serial killers.’ He could not do it. I said ‘you have the gene. It’s just latent.’ He said ‘well that’s stupid’ I said ‘it’s just as stupid as what you said to me.’ He was very quiet after that and I know it was sinking in.

Wow.
Really… wow.
I mention this amazing man to SJWs all the time as an example of real social justice and they completely ignore him. It gladdens me to see this is getting spread on Tumblr though.
This is how you promote change. This man is a saint.
What a true hero.
If you feel strongly that someone is watching you, they probably are. Your brain has a primal “gaze detection” system that determines whether someone is staring directly at you, or looking a few degrees to the left or right of you, which gives you a ‘feeling’ of being watched. Source

Just something that’s been on my mind. Tumblr has this specific way of handling communities. These are just the ones that come by on my dash, I’m sure there are plenty more examples.
First they start out nice, tolerant, willing to listen and learn.
But they quickly become too nice and tolerant. Rather than simply accepting group X, they begin to overglorify them. They make them into something more special than people outside of group X, and coupled with their compulsive need to belong and feel special, desire to be a part of it too.
In comes the appropriation. If they can’t be a part of it, they’ll make themselves a part of it, one way or another. And is someone in group X not acting the way their fantasy version of them acts? Call them out on it!
They become so fanatical that they begin to talk over, or drive out the original people of group X.
And then finally they manage to become so hateful, their initial tolerance has turned into cold, terrifying intolerance. Calling gay/trans men privileged over white straight cis women, telling transsexual people to die, purposefully triggering people they dislike into panic attacks, defending Muslims to the point of calling the attack on Charlie Hebdo justified. And sending death threats to anyone who dares to disagree.
Being excluded from a group or community because you don’t belong there is not oppression.
It simply means that group does not describe or fit you as an individual.
If you can’t accept that, you have far deeper issues than your imagined ‘oppression’.
Inb4 tons of hate messages and death threats.
I think there needs to be one about disability and mental illness. Diagnosis privilege is a thing? Accusations of gatekeeping? Non-disabled people policing disabled people about “ableist” language often whilst calling them retards on anon?
Ha! This is actually a really neat little diagram of how Tumblr as a whole “thinks”.
The SJW side of Tumblr in a few images.
The only part not explained is the
“We are advocates for human rights. What? Them? No, they aren’t human”THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO TUMBLR.
THIS IS HOW IT ALL WENT WRONG.
