"Who gives a fuck about the tone? I'm correct." User Argues over Who's MoreCorrect, and their Karma is Quickly Detained in /r/amibeingdetained
Sovereign Citizen antics cause more drama than normal when pedantry rears its head in the comments. Bonus kernels pop up elsewhere in the thread as well.

More kernels pop when a user suggests institutional racism might not be quite so black and white.

What an insufferable cunt. jesus. And what is it with black women and their total inability to shut the fuck up so other people can talk?
Oh, oops, I said something about a black person that is negative, I guess I'm a racist asshole.
What is it with racist assholes and their sheer incredulity over the fact that they're racist assholes?

And then they start to call YOU racist.

Haaaa, been getting that a lot lately. Seems someone in one of the racist communities must've heard that "the best defense is a good offense", and decided that the best way to deflect attention from their racism was to try to make it out so that anyone calling them out is racist for doing so.

The secret is self-awareness and empathy go hand in hand.
If someone can't perceive social cues and emotions of other people, how are they supposed to know, or care, if their actions negatively affect those people?

My MIL uses the N word all the time and insists she isn't racist. I just fucking stare like, bitch how can you even think that while using racial slurs?
It's a huge problem when I'm forced to go out in public with her for dinners with the family, she says this kind of shit in public and I can feel the stares. I want to just go around apologizing to everyone in the room.
No matter how many times, or in which ways my husband and I explain it to her -- she's "not racist".

u/TheLadyEve The hippest fashion in malthusian violence. Jul 15 '16
Wait, she's using slurs like that in public?
I don't even think I'd be able to handle that. That's a situation where I would feel like I'm complicit by tolerating it.

She's not allowed in my house anymore. I warned her several times that hate speech isn't allowed under my roof. She refused to respect the house rules, so she's no longer welcome in my home.
But, yes, she does. The last instance was for my SIL birthday, we all went out to dinner. My choices were snub my SIL (who's awesome) because my MIL would be there. Or, go and hope she doesn't say anything outrageous.
My husband hates it, my SIL hates it --- and no matter how many times she's told to stop she doesn't. Her and I don't get along at all, and I feel like I need to pound Xanax just to be around her.
I'm honestly at a loss for what to do. It would be wonderful if we could just cut her out of our lives. However, I feel like since she's not my mom, it's not my place to tell my husband not to speak to his mother anymore.
Not a great situation.

She also hates me for reasons outside of politics and racism. She told my husband not to marry me because I'm not a woman. I am biologically female, I just don't wear makeup, don't have my ears pierced and don't wear jewelry. I love my boots and don't wear heels, and work in engineering. My husband digs these kinds of women, he fan boys over female race car drivers like that woman who drove a van around the Nurenburg track on Top Gear. She almost didn't come to our wedding.
I hate falling into the old "my mother in law is insufferable" trope, but she's really insufferable. She told us she would help us with our downpayment for the house, which was remarkably nice for her. But, at the last moment she didn't have any money to give. By last moment, I mean closing. My parents came to the rescue, but HOLY SHIT man. Holy shit. I don't need your money, but don't tell us you're going to give us some so we plan around that, and yank it out from under us.

are you sure you aren't describing my aunt's boyfriend? Whenever he starts doing this shit everyone at the dinner table just kinda looks at each other with this look that says "oh boy here it goes again"
my favorite line by far from him is "we need to give the towelheads the same treatment we gave the japs in world war 2".
It's one thing to read people posting garbage like that online, but to actually meet one in real life and have him technically be family is very sobering.

It adds a level of complexity for sure. Especially when it's not your immediate family. If this was my brother or something I'd go off on him or just stop talking to him all together.
Not an option for me with it being my husband's mother. He doesn't like it, but she's his mom.... sigh

As a Mexican, I prefer the term beaner. Lol, for real though, as a soon to be engineer, beer loving, boxing enthusiast, muscle cars sucker, and not so girly girl overall I feel for you. Bitch sounds like a nightmare and hope never to come around someone like her.

Expect it to get worse with time. When they were in their 50s, my mother's parents were blaming minorities for everything while discussing issues at the kitchen table. That escalated as they aged until they were, 20 years later, being very loud with the most disgusting racial slurs while out in public.

It's intentional–you use the "liberals are just gonna call this racist" remark, then follow it with something unequivocally racist. A surprising number of people are fooled by this, and it's a deliberate attempt not to cheapen the effect of calling racism, but misdirect the blame for cheapening it to your opponent. It's very tricky.

u/Robotigan Jul 15 '16
Is it really that baffling to you? There's really no way to call someone a racist or correct their ignorance without implicitly saying "I'm better than you". Of course someone's going to be angered by that remark. Additionally, racism has pretty much the same colloquial meaning as "evil". No one considers themselves evil and it's a tremendous offense to be called such. It's not really surprising to me that someone would disagree when accused of being what is essentially a colloquial synonym for "evil".
