Appears to be an african american lady telling everyone they’re fine to be what they are.
Both were on the same day
Frankly I can find better reasons to mute that account, it’s a constant stream of lists, memes, etc… but racism doesn’t appear to be one of them.
edit: just like to congratulate OP on rage baiting lemmy by failing to investigate the account for context. It matters.

That a black lady didn’t hear the dogwhistles doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.
Or even if she did, and had just fallen for the propaganda.
If, as a random example, a famous black celebrity were to wear a shirt saying “White Lives Matter” would you have the same reaction?
Feel free to rage on. Meanwhile, none of you actually looked to see what was going on there.
Good on you for investigating the surface level of the situation, bro, sadly, it turns out that that things can be a bit more complicated than that.
Good effort at pretending everyone who disagrees with you is emotionally upset though. Very rational of you.
In all fairness, it’s a true statement. Just probably abused by people with certain agendas.
“it’s okay to be white” was crafted by 4chan as a “triggering the libs” phrase. The entire point is to be fully racist and rally under the phrase so that the people calling you racist for genuine reasons appear to be saying that it is not in fact ok to be white. Anyone saying this phrase is a white supremacist trying to trip you into “agreeing” with them that a white genocide exists and is happening, and to convince bystanders (youtube teens at the beginning of the alt-right pipeline) that the left is against white people, ergo if you’re white you should become a Nazi.
I know this because it happened to me. “It’s ok to be white” is prime ben shapiro owns feminists with facts and logic video material.
The issue isn’t the statement itself. It’s the implication that white people are being victimized that folks are taking umbrage with.
Its a malicious statement. It makes the reader assume that there are people that dont think being white is okay. Statements like its okay to be black or lgbtq or anything else it works because there is a lot of discrimination against them.
There’s definitely people that think that!
“withmastery”
Yeah, real subtle…
I don’t get it.
so far, the only threads ads i ever see are when users post them in anger about seeing threads ads
Do you have any sort of dns filtering going on?
Do you have any sort of dns filtering going on?
IG shows Threads posts in that preview panel based on what the algorithm tells the user engages with. I get shown comedians and motorsport stuff. If people interact with Nasis content (incl. reposting Nazi stuff commenting how bad it is), all the algorithm sees is “Oh, engagement”. The more engagement they get, the more their posts surface. Report and block.
This. The only threads ads I’ve seen have been related to what I’m interested in
They said they haven’t seen any threads ads, not that they didn’t see any nazi ones.
nope
My threads ads are either corporate posts or some random lady posting how a black Santa statue at her mall is the most offended she’s ever been in her life.
🎅🏿
Meta trying hard to metastasize.
people still use instagram ?
Most out of touch question ever lol
Yea but it’s mostly horny people. I have noticed it’s a go to for people to sext. As a woman I often get asked by horny men if I have “Snapchat or Instagram”
It’s OK to be anything expect someone like her.
Remember I’ll be keeping an eye on here.
That shark-eyed guy really spent a week in solitary? Maybe with a camera, though, perhaps that would help. Otherwise I’m amazed he managed.
The comments here are proving toxic af and I am out drinking so I can’t really deal with them rn.

You know exactly what that really means
In case someone is on the internet for the first time, virtually nobody says it’s not okay to be white, so saying this is pushing the idea that black and brown people asking for basic rights makes them the real bad guys. Y’know, for making us feel bad about the things we’ve done.
It’s comments like this that make me think of the old adage: “Never wrestle with a pig because you’ll both get dirty and the pig likes it.”
Oooh, I like that one. The Mark Twain “Never argue with an idiot, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you on experience” is also good.
There’s nothing wrong with being white
But stuff like “white pride” is unequivocally racist, and this stuff is like a gateway/dogwhistle to that.
You can say you have American pride, or French pride, or Ukrainian pride, and all of those point to specific cultural achievements or things. “White pride” doesn’t really, it has a long history of thinking that whites are better than other races.
This is a really well-put description. Having pride in the color of your skin is fucking stupid and applies to everyone.
Pride is for achievements.
Skin color is not something anyone achieved (and no, paying for aesthetics is not an achievement either).

How so? Can you elaborate? I am white and don’t feel as though anyone is oppressing me because of that fact.
I’m white and queer. There’s only one of those characteristics that gets me abused, threatened and made to feel uncomfortable and it’s not white.
So I know this isn’t going to be popular, but… I lived in Saudi Arabia at 14. White people were targeted for kidnapping and rape continually, and no, not only women. Men too.
I myself was very close to having both happen multiple times and escaped by pure panic and luck. My father and I were nearly killed by police with assault rifles because they wanted a bribe from my Dad. We were forced to drive into the desert at gunpoint to a “second location.”
This was not unusual for the expats.
I also went to school in Cincinnati and had the shit beaten out of me multiple times because I was white.
Racists no matter who they are racist to are fucking gross and I’m sorry you had to go through what you did. Please don’t think your experience applies worldwide though. Being white, gay, black, brown, trans, or damn near anything in some places is fucking dangerous.
Ditto. Usually when I realise I’m white it’s because other white people are being dumb and out of touch and I’m embarrassed by them.
Caucasity is a hell of a way to wake up to the realities of race in this country
Caucasian+audacity, in case anyone else is unfamiliar with the term.
Why? Having correlary traits in common with someone doing something dumb isn’t embarrassing.
Andrew Tate doesn’t make me embarrassed to be a man, he’s just embarrassing himself (and anyone who chooses those views are doing the same). We are individuals.
If such a mundane statement bothers you, it says more about you than the person who said it.
Imma leave this here since they put it quite nicely. https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/6818226
Also, just read their username and you’ll see it’s clearly exactly what we all think it is.
It’s not mundane at all, though.
Saying it implies that it needs to be said, as if in mainstream opinion it was not OK to be white.
It pretends there’s widespread racism against white people.So exactly what far right racists believe.
Oh honey, you just said even more about yourself.
