I'm kind of sleep deprived and getting over being sick, so sorry for not getting it, but what exactly is that image trying to portray? Which side of the graphic does this book claim is the "right" view? Which people are you calling fanatics?

[(Anonymous)]

The two sides of the infographic are *both* things that anti-racist activists assert, but usually with enough space between the ideas that people miss the contradiction. To rephrase three examples:

-> White people are admonished not to dare be quiet about racism, AND shamed for speaking out when they could signal-boost the voices of PoC.

-> If white people move away from a black neighborhood, that's "white flight" (i.e. shunning black people) AND if they move to a black neighborhood, that's "gentrification" (i.e. chasing the black people out).

-> Holding any black person responsible for things a different black person did is wrong AND all white people are guilty of everything other whites have done.

The point isn't giving helpful tips. It's setting up the accepted definition of "racism" in such a way that all whites can be condemned as racists. And, similar to what the Christian church pulled when it claimed everyone whose parents had sex is a sinner, it can't be justified logically.

I was calling the Star Wars fans who were claiming Cassian was a PoC in one movie and white in the next fanatics. Whatever they think "anti-racism" is, acting like they can decide someone's race based on whether they approve of their choices is shitty.

ayrt

Oh, yeah, the contradictions were obvious, that's why I was wondering which view was supposed to be the "right" one. I guess I was wondering what the point was, other than basically saying that white people are wrong no matter what they do, but I guess there wasn't one.

the Christian church pulled when it claimed everyone whose parents had sex is a sinner

Wow. I'm an atheist and haven't been to a church since I was forced to as a kid, so I somehow missed that one. That's, uh...something.

acting like they can decide someone's race based on whether they approve of their choices is shitty.

Yeah. A lot of people are just weird and crappy about race in general.
