News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

They lean heavily on not mating with outsiders, so you eventually run out of non-relatives in rural communities. My mother's family had so many cousins marry over time that ancestry thinks my relatives on that side are one degree closer than reality. I have relatives that are blood related to me on their mother's and father's sides. Non-white people (including Italians and Eastern Europeans) are not welcome there. I once had a child approach me on a beach and happily brag about his dad gifting him a Mexican killing knife. Because now he's ready to stab some Mexicans. That kid gets to vote in a few years.
Okay, so you come from an inbred family. That doesn't mean you can generalize that assumption to literally every white person. Just cause you're inbred doesn't mean the rest of us are.
And again, some redneck white trash giving their kids weapons to kill brown people with is deplorable, but not something you can generalize as all white people.
But if most of the people I grew up with also come from racist families, that's what I expect. Those of us not waiting for the south to rise again are horrified, this is a fucking problem and there's more of them than there are of us because they like rape and don't use birth control.
That's called prejudice.
Yes, there are lots of terrible people. Focus your criticism on those instead of assuming every white person is like that.
The issue is white supremacy, not whiteness.
I'll bring that up next time some white person assumes I'm cool with their Aryan tattoos and stories of race-based violence. Because they assume everyone white is like this.
Damn dude, you really need to find better places to hang out if that's a regular occurrence for you.
But yes, the correct response in that situation would indeed be to inform them that not everyone who's white is as depraved as they are, and then proceed to never talk to them again.
