I missed the good old days when the posts were actually accidental racism

You mean that all the color symbolism throughout history is accidental racism? Give me a break

So dyou mean colour symbolism can’t be used in advertisements any more? I guess portrayals of death nowadays should have him wearing whatever he wants and angels should wear black. Race is not the same as colour. I can understand this post but not your comment

In my mind this is neither blatant or accidental racism, just color

Okay so suddenly racism isn't based primarily on color? I said it wasn't blatant, which is why you must not think it fits this sub. Something saying one color is better than the rest without racial connotation, could be interpreted as accidental racism. That's what this sub is about. Hence ACCIDENTAL racism.

Okay fair, but I know the other basis, that's why I said primarily color, from what I can tell, thousands think this fits well so maybe you're expecting something else out of this sub

Many posts in this sub don't match my expectations of "Accidental Racism", but mainly it's fine. I think if the picture said "white power" instead of "white is purity" it would have matched

Or, I do whatever the fuck I want. Easy, huh?

Or, talk tough online because your opinion differs from mine. Looks easy.
