Just _imagine_…

Wait, I don’t have to “imagine”. It’s always been the reality for Black and Brown posters here.

White people tell Black and Brown people how they should feel about racism All. The. Fucking. Time.

On this board.

Banquet\_Bear, an indigenous Brown person, has been modded quite frequently for speaking his feelings about indigenous genocide and other related topics. He’s one of the very, very few actual indigenous people on the damn board, and he gets handled like this:

> [This modding:](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-unmarked-grave-thread-should-be-reopened/943738/72) I realize that this is a hot button topic for you. Perhaps you should avoid posting about it here on the SDMB (except perhaps in the Pit). As things currently stand, your anger makes you blow things out of proportion and take things the wrong way, so much so that you are developing a pattern of derailing threads with it. No, of course you’re not aware. Because you apparently have no idea that [angry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Buck) [PoC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_black_woman) tropes are a thing. Seriously - what’s more racist than the non-Indigenous …

I’ve lost count of the number of times White posters and mods have told me _my_ feelings on racist topics are flat-out wrong.

Jews playing “more oppressed than thou” would be amusing - if it wasn’t so _very_ fucking wrong.

Let’s see Thing.Fish get a topic ban suggested about posting about antisemitism outside the Pit…
