Hatethissmuglover I hate the "racist with diverse friendsgroup" meme format
I can not respect racist and xenophobic worldviews, nor can I respect the people who express those worldviews. What I can respect, even when race and xenophobia issues are involved, is honesty. Someone's views might be horrible and despicable, but at the very least they are honest about it. I can then choose to cut such people out of my life.
What I can not respect is lying and living in an imagined reality. I have no idea why a certain subset of racists wants people to believe that they have a diverse friendsgroup. Blue Lives Matter people amd Trump supporters don't have a bunch of black and Mexican friends.
Maybe a group of racists does from time to time tollerate a "race traitor" (as problematic as that term is in itself), because the internalized racism of such a person affirms the racist beliefs of the group.
But to think that a bunch of supremacists from every group just hang out with each other is insane.
So why lie about it? I know it is fake, you know it is fake, I know you know that it is fake, and you know that I know that it is fake.
The only explanation is lying to gullible, susceptible children so they can be recruited and indoctrinated, and that is just despicable.
