Explaining racism to white people feels like I’m manray trying to give Patrick his wallet back and every second of it makes me hate being alive more

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

MAGA man calls ICE on landscaper—so he doesn't have to pay him for yard work.

He had just finished the job.

"I grew suspicious because he kept coming back out to check on exactly how much I had left to finish."

"Then I saw him make a phone call staring at me with strange look that unsettled me."

"I heard ICE talking to the owner... They came looking for me in the back but didn't see me because I was hiding in a large bush."

"I asked the man and he said his neighbors called ICE—but I already knew it was him just so he wouldn't have to pay."

Incident occurred in Medford, Oregon.

Yoni Castaneda doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

mfkers rape children on private islands and then tell everyone "communism is the greatest threat to our country"

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 Yes because no one has ever defended a racist white woman because she was “in a dark place” or “scared” or simply just attractive to them. I’m sure that she’d be absolutely crucified because white people take racism so seriously

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells “I can’t be racist I have Black friends”

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells The very fact that there’s no targeted advocacy for trans men is the entire problem. People have no idea of the actual serious issues we face wrt healthcare and reproductive rights for example and so nothing is getting done and tmen are just dying quietly

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 The point is that transmisogyny wasn’t in the original post. You brought up the guys other post to shame people for agreeing with him that racism is bad. Next time these white women complain about transphobia then I’ll just bring up screenshots of them being racist ig

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 If they were a racist bigoted pos before transition and are still a racist bigoted pos after, they’re still the same person just with a different look. One would think experiencing oppression and going through a process involving so much introspection would change you but ig not

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells The posts in question usually having like 2 likes. If you think there’s some widespread acceptance of trans men you could not be any wronger lol. Almost no one advocates for us but ourselves. The only time we are mentioned is as a gotcha in the bathroom debate that paints US as-

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 I’m drawing a parallel to help you understand but it’s not working because you think trans men are evil and privileged oppressors or whatever so anything bad that happens to us was deserved or whatever

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 Never said they weren’t, only that they somehow don’t see an issue doing the same thing to trans men as well

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 You think criticizing white people is racism? And calling white tw racist creates a stereotype that tw are racist which harms Black tw? I’m not following

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 I mean atp I’m starting to hate all white people anyway so I’m kind of indifferent to whatever struggles they have since they will do whatever they can to still kick someone beneath them while they’re down. Why are tpoc always expected to be the bigger person though?

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 2. The entire point w the 4channer thing is that ppl who flippantly talk abt having an “edgy phase” or “Nazi phase” are still racist but just more covert w it. 4chan is a cesspool so yeah if you are/were an avid 4chan user I’m going to look at you sideways a bit regardless

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 1. This whole debate is really funny because people make these same points almost verbatim about all trans men being like abusive rapist evil manipulators and it’s not a big deal but when someone says white trans women are racist now it’s the end of the world apparently

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 And what exactly is this “shoddy watered down version”

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 Maybe I’m jaded but my empathy wears thin when I see certain people routinely act in bigoted ways and have it be defended or ignored and then they turn into the worlds biggest victim when someone is bigoted back at them

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 lol no bc you are just repeating the same patterns I’ve observed my entire life. I don’t deny the transmisogyny I just think it’s interesting that instead of addressing racism at all ppl jump to “ok but this guy is a transmisogynist” bc yall don’t actually care about racism

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 The second one is complicated but nothing about the first one itself was transmisogynistic even if the user themself had a history of being transmisogynistic. Sometimes shitty people are right, it’s horrible I know. This is a very tricky situation because ime women both cis and-

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 -you from talking about anything, but racism doesn’t discredit you from talking about transphobia, misogyny, transmisogyny, etc. not to mention anti-transmasculinity doesn’t discredit anyone from anything because it’s gleefully encouraged by literally everyone

[sleeby @mmsleeby]

@sealcells @yunaluna16 Right that’s always the answer. Tmoc are apparently not in any position to speak about anything because anti-transmasculinity “doesn’t exist and is MRA bs” and racism is swept under the rug bc how dare you as a man criticize a woman. It’s interesting how transmisogyny discredits-
