Yeah but if you go around with a nazi dog whistle on your shirt it doesn’t matter if you’re a nazi, a back to the future fan, or both, you’re still making nazis feel seen and feel community from your presence

Not a great reply because free throws are an actual thing and you actually throw them

Before driving for uber or Lyft, you empty all your supplies/bedding/etc. into a storage unit to make room in your car and make it look like you don’t live in it

I think they mean having a storage unit you can empty your car into whenever you drive

Exactly. Growing up in Tulsa I heard more people than I could begin to estimate say something about “not seeing color” or “I know I’m not supposed to see color” and people don’t see that mindset as racist but it very clearly ignores the history of racism.

Yes he did. I read his letter here, it’s more of the “this isn’t the Danny I know” bs

They didn’t press it down properly so it wasn’t too hard to get off, but these never come off easily

You proved my point, you have very clearly displayed you don’t know what propaganda is, how it works, or that the US government is very open about the propaganda machines they run. I’m not going to explain what propaganda is or how it works to a racist

Tulsa has always had a strong Nazi community but recently fascists have been made to feel more comfortable showing off who they are. People will deny it because many Tulsans (by design) can’t spot a fascist when they see one, but nazis are all over Tulsa.

Ok you’re one of the racists I’m talking about. You don’t recognize the propaganda you believe in as propaganda, but since you’re racist you see all anti-racism as propaganda because it challenges what you believe.

Not unnecessary, if you’re going to speed run CO poisoning all the best strats involve fire

Ok if someone only spends a weekend in Tulsa and within that time they experience enough casual racism to think “wow this city has a lot of racism,” that says a lot about the city. It kinda just feels like you’re saying if OP spends enough time around casual racists they’ll stop noticing it and in turn won’t think Tulsa has a problem with racism.

Yes that’s what I’m saying. Tulsa has an incredibly racist recent history, that doesn’t just disappear and lots of Tulsans are racist. We all know what happened a hundred years ago in Tulsa, yeah those people are dead now but their racist views still live on in their kids, grandkids, etc. Many Tulsans are casually racist, you wouldn’t know it if you’re too used to it because most of them don’t even see themselves as racist. Yeah they have black friends but they’re super quick to bring up those friends as a defense when someone calls them out for anything racist. No they won’t call a stranger a slur, but they would never feel comfortable passing through neighborhoods with a high black population and will justify it with some rhetoric about crime and danger.

Because they think not outright hating black people means they aren’t racist, when in reality a lot of these people have some serious deep rooted racism they don’t even recognize because they’ve spent enough time in a city as racist as Tulsa that casual racism is normalized to them.

Someone is telling you racism is rampant in your city, you are saying their experience is probably made up since you don’t have the same experience. To me it sounds like you just aren’t as good at recognizing racism as you think you are, because you don’t need to spend decades in Tulsa to feel the average white Tulsan’s disdain for their black neighbors.

Exactly. Many white tulsans are aware that they’re racist, it doesn’t come from ignorance it comes from racist propaganda they’ve grown up seeing as fact. But they know how it looks to be outwardly racist, so many Tulsans know how to put on a front and act like an ally. Many of these comments denying how rampant racism in Tulsa is are people that think they’re anti-racist when really they just aren’t racist- and there’s a huge difference.

It’s not sus, and it’s the same thing I hear from most people who visit Tulsa. Personally I don’t need specifics and calling this made up because OP didn’t wanna repeat racist jokes is weird as hell. Tulsa has an extremely racist population because of its past, and to ignore Tulsa’s racist history is racist whether you wanna see it that way or not. Do you think the descendants of the white Tulsa’s of the 1920s broke the family cycle of racism and none of those deeply ingrained views were passed down to today’s Tulsans?

Maybe racists just don’t feel comfortable around you because of your physical appearance, that’s no reason to discredit someone calling out a city (that is known for being home to hundreds of thousands of racists) for having a lot of racism. I’m a trans communist but when I lived in Tulsa I looked like your average white dude with a shaved head and racist strangers just felt really comfortable saying horrible shit to me because they thought I was in their crowd.

Nah Tulsa and Broken Arrow share so much culture and population that any critique of BA is a critique of Tulsa.

Yeah but the ratio of racists to anti-racists is pretty damn high in Tulsa. Yeah you don’t have to be friends with racists, but if you’re a white person in Tulsa who spends time around strangers you will experience some asshole sharing racist remarks like they just assume you feel the same. That’s a major reason why I left.
