so dehumanizing and shitty to know we're an undifferentiated mass for you to feel sorry for
― the late great, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:07 (four years ago) link
or just say the same damn thing without using the so so clever "brown ppl" rhetorical device

No

ok then, keep speaking truth to power in a condescending, ineffectual way and wonder why ppl hate you and your ideas have no traction
same to me, i don't really care, just registering my disgust

So you think you know which ilxors are white and which aren't?

A lot worse to be disgusted by in this world. Save your energies for when Fred B comes back. xp
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:15 (four years ago) link
no but i'm going to guess the ones that use the rhetorical device "brown ppl" generally aren't brown
― the late great, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:15 (four years ago) link
just a guess?
I have no idea who you're talking about tbh.
― The Corbynite Maneuver (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:16 (four years ago) link
well no reason to respond then, really
― the late great, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:17 (four years ago) link
it's a lot of ppl, some i like a lot and some i don't care for much and some in between, and it's not even about individual posters
it's a rhetorical flourish i hate
just do an ilx search for "brown ppl" and see what comes up
― the late great, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:18 (four years ago) link
hahaha maybe we should poll the white knights of ilx

it's kind of a gross way to demonstrate moral superiority over other white ppl, surprised people are claiming they haven't seen it
― fuck it (Left), Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:33 (four years ago) link
few enough non gross ways to attempt to display yr moral superiority over anyone on a message board tbh

(xp) Who is claiming they haven't seen it?

I assumed the thread was provoked by a particular post and I hadn't see the post was all I was saying.
― The Corbynite Maneuver (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:40 (four years ago) link
i am only seeing about 6 ilxors having used the term in the past 6 months (looked up both variants "ppl" and "people")
― sarahell, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:41 (four years ago) link
5 of them are doing "that thing" ... the other is Alfred
― sarahell, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:42 (four years ago) link
If they're on US politics threads I wouldn't see them tbh.
― The Corbynite Maneuver (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:43 (four years ago) link
they are almost entirely all on US politics thread
― sarahell, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:44 (four years ago) link
I could have guessed as much - in fact, I did.
― The Corbynite Maneuver (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:45 (four years ago) link
i guessed who half of the white knights were in advance of my search so "high five" m8?
― sarahell, Thursday, 16 April 2020 18:46 (four years ago) link
I think I've said enough, I'm leaving the thread to late great.

Did you read the next post?

I am a brown person who uses brown and even wrote in brown on the census. I did not to Brown, but I went to the affiliated high school.

Wait, is that directed at me?
― rb (soda), Thursday, 16 April 2020 19:14 (four years ago) link

― sarahell, Thursday, 16 April 2020 19:17 (four years ago) link

1. I’m sorry, Stevolende. 2. Thank you for making this thread, tlg. I’ll pay more attention in the future if I ever feel inclined to use this reductive and dismissive language.
