I’ve never heard that sort of racism, that black people are cannibals, so i think that’s pretty outdated racism even by racist standards.
I had a friend’s kid try that crap on me recently, though. Made a racist joke off the back of my offhand and entirely innocent comment about monkeys, and I called his ass out for being a racist piece of shit about it. His parents were unbelieveably thankful that I did because the kid actually likes me, so maybe it helped. But thats so much to ask a sometimes-over friend to do on like a regular basis. If i have to call him out every time he sees me, he won’t like and respect me anymore, so won’t matter if I do call him out.
But really, what’s the problem? We call them as we see them, but we should never allow them to take our language from us. They dont deserve nearly that much respect or control. Obvious dog whistles, fine, we can avoid those like above monkey stuff depending how it’s presented. But we should never ever give ground without them winning it, and they aint done shit in decades worth claiming our language.
All racism is outdated. There isn't a newer, hipper racism that's finally caught up with modern times. It's all the same old ignorant, insecure shit.
They weren’t suggesting that modern manifestations of racism are “hipper” than old ones, but it’s just a fact that certain words and tropes are simply not used anymore and don’t immediately spring to mind. Like this weird “black people are cannibals” thing.
Find you some Christians who go on "missions trips" to "3rd world countries" and you'll hear that kind of shit plenty. My family is like that, very, very, very sadly.
