I'm thinking about all the times I got into a group and felt off about the group for a while but couldn't put my finger on why until one or more people in the group come out as massively racist pieces of shit.
There are probably so many subtle signs a racist, or victim of racism, would notice that I simply don't because I am neither of those things. A few times, I've even questioned things I thought were odd but the racists lie and tell me it's nothing while non-racists call me racist for asking the question "in bad faith" so I am left ignorant and confused as fuck sometimes.
This is relevant because I really want to escape that bullshit and not end up associated with dickheads unwittingly by getting into communities of them that are really good at being subtle with their hate and with moving to a new platform along with so many others, there's bound to be some turds in the punchbowl.
