One of the most common forms of racism and hate in the fedi is hyper focus on Black and Brown folks to ignore or cover for hateful behavior.
My work has exposed me to some truly disgusting behavior on the fedi. There are actual bad people who have committed themselves to harmful and really gross dehumanizing behavior. Just the other day, I had to deal with a white nationalist trying to gaslight me into thinking they were ‘reasonable.’
I find there is an overemphasis on policing the timelines of Black and Brown folks to ignore or even protect the actual perpetuators of harm in this space.
There is an expectation constantly being projected onto Black and Brown folks to be perfect in every action and thought we have in this space to be ‘worthy’ of civility that is not applied to any other group of people, especially white folks.
This, of course, is a pillar of white supremacy culture.

When people say this space is anti-Black, it’s not only because of the obvious hatefulness we see. That’s just a small part of it.
The larger piece is that there is an enforced standard for Black folks that is not applied to anyone else.
That act is racism being reinforced by people across the political spectrum.
