Black Twitter is of no redeeming value whatsoever, just like the rest of Twitter. “Oh no, someone is upset on Twitter” is a sentence of no actual substance.
Twitter is good for sports news and rumors. 
I think I’m going to shorten it to Wypi when I’m taking it back.
Now there are white people and there are wypies, your white people be all ‘hello, how are you? Fancy a spot of tea’ while your Wypies are all ‘blAaaaAaRg!’
Okay, I’ll give you that. And actual breaking news from verified and respected news sources. But “people are on Twitter are upset” is not actually of any importance.
Why am I even posting in this thread when England just scored again?
If they accidentally fell in the water they love living near, they’d be Wet Wypis.
Of course, given how often they’re objecting to something, some of them will always be *But Wypis *
Yes, this has potential…
The term is derogatory towards lower class “Blacks”. It was invented by middle and upper class “Blacks”. I first became familiar with its use on “Black Twitter” a few years ago. Historically, middle and upper class “Blacks” have been very hostile towards the culture and lifestyle choices of lower class “Blacks” because they believe the culture hinders their efforts to be accepted into American society at large (IOW it has hindered their ability to become “White” like the Irish, Italians, and Jews). This term springs from this tradition and is also coupled with the newfound antagonism of young woke “blacks” towards “whites” in general.
It is apparently offensive to thin-skinned white identitarians who have seen a surge in activity following the trump and sanders campaigns.
I’m also going to start referring to all black people as blacklist…to be honest I’ve been doing this in my head for years, I’m just going to be honest about it now.
All other ethnicities will be grouped collectively as Slappypants.
If anyone thinks this is a bad idea, blame the patriarchy, they made me do it.
Not blacklist, Blacula
I know you said as much. You said it to me last month in the thread I linked earlier when I asked you. No Black twitter expertise required.
Yes, it includes the black Netflix staff. You know who else it includes?
EVERYBODY OF ANY RACE WHO THINKS THAT CONTEXT DOESN’T MATTER!
If you’re a white person who thinks context doesn’t matter, I’m talking to you. If you’re a Native American person who thinks context doesn’t matter, I’m talking to you. If you’re a fucking vampire from the methane seas of Titan who thinks context doesn’t matter, I’m talking to you. If you’re a fat fuck South African who looks like he has to knock on doors and introduce himself when he moves to a new neighbourhood, oh yes sir, I’m talking to you.
I can see I’m going to have to spell this out: If an insult or observation can only be applied to members of group X, it may well be racist. If, on the other hand, it can be applied to anyone who thinks a certain way REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, then it isn’t fucking racist, even if it can be applied to select members of group X.
Do you get it now, you lying fucking maggot?
Repeatedly calling something a fallacy doesn’t make it fucking so either. I’ll say it again, either racist insults are OK, or they aren’t. What’s the secret third option?
If a person uses what you call racist words (even in a 100% anti-racist context), and doesn’t apologise when whiny dickbags like you “call them out”, what do you call that person?
And incidentally, “culled for the good of the herd” is something that people say all the time when talking about idiots. Ever heard of the Darwin Awards, you thick fuck? Their slogan is literally “Honouring those who improve the human genome by removing themselves from it.” My POINT was that we’d be better off without idiots like you who are too stupid to grasp the importance of context. Again, nothing to do with race. Just an observation about truly, cataclysmically stupid people like you.
So is Blitter it’s own thing or just referring to Blaculas using Twitter?
And literally everything in that post applies equally to the n-word.
Yes, I do believe that, considering it is the factual case. Notice how you didn’t refute this. You just called me names. If you had a counter argument, you would have given one. Instead, even though I was nice to you, you decided to treat me like garbage.
In that case, you are correct. You just attacked me, and are making excuses for racism. I don’t have your back. I do, however, have the back of your minority group, and will continue to fight even as you actively choose to make everything worse.
The idea that you think being “woke” is a real thing just shows how little you care about reality. You’re talking about a term used to make people think they aren’t racists, when anyone knows that everyone is somewhat racist. It’s just a way to pat yourself on the back.
Or it means believes you believe conspiracy nonsense.
And here you are deliberately creating a strawman, as I did not say anything of the sort. If I’m so wrong, why do you have to make up shit I didn’t say? I never said it was equal. I said it gives ammunition to the alt-right to claim such, because you can’t keep the lid on your desire to use a slur against white people.
I went out of my way to be nice to you and understand your anger and your reactions. Then you treated me like garbage. You provided no counterarguments to anything I actually said.
You go around using a term that you know will piss people off and thus lose them as potential allies. You could get them on your side, but you’re so interested in a fucking purity test that you put that above the cause.
So, while I’m sure most Dopers have nothing to learn from me, it sure fucking seems you do. I’m assuming good faith in that you’re not trying to make things worse, but you fucking are.
It sucks that, to be a full SJW anti-racist, anti-bigotry, pro-feminist, progressive, socialist, and moral person that I have to fight against someone who I am trying to help.
You could fix it, or you can continue to be sputtering in anger and accomplishing nothing. And, coming from me…
I’m not Black Twitter. I was referring to you claiming to know how it’s “almost entirely” used “in general”.
Enough said…
You think there’s only a third? Try again.
I’d call *that *person a little bit racist. Of course, that’s you moving the goalposts of your little hypothetical to include a new apology parameter.
Netflix dude *did *apologize, though. So even by whatever you think you’re creeping towards with your piss-poor attempt at maieutics, I didn’t call him a racist even indirectly.
That’s way the fuck over the line, asshole.
I asked other people in that thread too and I peaked at a couple of websites. That’s more than enough research. If you want to actually say I’m wrong, go ahead rather than dance around it.
He’s not in a minority group.
Well, hell, I guess I’d have to encounter it in real life. Seems a bit precious. If minorities are OK with using this term for whites, and whites shouldn’t be offended, are there similar terms whites can use for minorities which shouldn’t cause ire? Brwonpipo? Blapipo? Canadiopipple? Can we call Hawaiians pinapipple?
