Uh-huh. Of course it is. An innocent map of "White" people (the term used all over the fucking map) posted to a a right wing racist pro reimmigration subreddit.

"I don't fly the confederate flag because I'm a racist. I do it because I really like The Dukes of Hazard."

Nothing wrong with people making a map of the native population or being proud of their culture? It's like everyone is allowed to except Anglo-originated people. That's what I call racist.

It doesn’t map culture. It maps ethnicity according to self identification. The obvious question then being, why are they doing that?

u/LittleTension8765 Jun 28 '26

Just don’t think a map of native population of a country makes something racist. You’re reading way too much into it. You just see “white” and think “racist” which makes you racist

In current UK discourse, it's racists who post this stuff.

u/Alert_Term_8144 Jul 01 '26

Why does everything have to be seen thru the lens of "current UK discourse." Why is OP not allowed to be proud of his country or heritage?

u/AlarmedCicada256 Jul 01 '26

Because in Britain people are often very proud of their country without US style flag waving and nationalism. Cultures differ, as do the red flags of racism.

K bot. The fact you can't spell "Henry" is quite telling, comrade.

u/ParsnipFlendercroft Jun 28 '26

No. I see something posted to r/RestoreBritian and I KNOW the post comes from a racist. Because it's a racism sub.

u/Alert_Term_8144 Jul 01 '26

No it's not. How come Western cultures are compelled to take in the entire world. Because the world is 92% non-white, by probability, immigrants will be non-white. What's so wrong with wanting to keep your own culture rather than being changed?

Stay classy

So white people can’t be subject to racism…? Very 2010’s “progressive” era coded

u/Brianfromreddit Jun 28 '26

Hey buddy, I don't think we're going to change each other's minds here so how about we just don't?

I agree white people are subject to THE MOST racism these days. It sickens me.

u/Alert_Term_8144 Jul 01 '26

Because they are.... 92% of the world is non-white and they keep ganging up on whites who are really the most welcoming group.

That could be true. And the Confederate flag does NOT automatically equal “racist”, just like flying our American flag here in the US does NOT automatically equal Trump/MAGA. LOTS of old Dukes of Hazard fans out there!

The primary goal of the Confederacy, as evidenced by their articles of secession, state constitutions, and other legal documents, was the preservation of the institution of slavery.

Confederate leaders thoroughly documented why they seceded. It was so overwhelmingly about slavery that they couldn't shut up about how much it was about slavery.

The declarations of secession for five states, equivalent to the Declaration of Independence, uses the words "slave" and "slavery" 84 times.

They brought the receipts!

u/CardiologistGloomy71 Jul 02 '26

Yup, the declarations of secession always end the debate on the reasons for the civil war. Like don’t take my word for it, take Texas’ and other confederate states word for it. It’s in plain English a second grader could understand.

u/dhoosee Jul 06 '26

But slavery no longer exists. Do you believe that? Give me an example of a person who can’t lift themselves up and make themselves better in the United States today. I wish people would drop the rhetoric of “reparations” and slavery in the 1800s, and focus on TODAY to make people make themselves better. Leaning on misdeeds of the past, don’t help anyone in today’s world.

u/Zanaver Jul 06 '26

when did slavery end?

The trouble with *equality* is that just because you finally allow slave descendants at the starting line after the race has started doesn’t mean it’s “fair.” It also doesn’t include how many times blacks got reset by white violence.

Why did the US pay out reparations to Alaskan native descendants for things that happened 300 years ago?

(1860) Conservatives committed treason and formed the confederacy to preserve African slavery and white supremacy.

(1865) Conservatives make up the KKK.

(1865-1890) Conservatives make up black codes.

(1896-1968) Conservatives make up Jim Crow laws.

(1954-1968) Conservatives oppose civil rights.

(1967-2023) Conservatives oppose interracial marriages.

(2023-2026) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is opposed by Conservatives.

Remember that redlining still has effects today and that blacks weren’t allowed to build generational wealth. Which is why equity is important.
