    That’s just absurd. If I spell Nat Turner “Natt Turner” does that somehow make me anti-black?

      Intentionally so? Yes, if you’re being intentionally disrespectful about a black person’s identity that does put you under scrutiny of being anti-black. Is this is a difficult concept for you?

        How are you certain of OP’s deliberate misspelling the name, though? It seems to me like you’re looking to strip OP of their credibility by any means possible, up to and including frivolous accusations of racism.

          They’ve made posts as of 30 minutes ago, that comment has been up for 11 hours, they’ve neither replied or corrected it. I wasn’t born yesterday, I’m done erring on the side of accident with regards to racism and genocide, you can continue bending backward for them if you like. I’ve seen your statements elsewhere in this thread, I know where you stand.

            Honestly I generally just block people who accuse others of racism over typos. Fediverse is so much better without y’all

            Time zones you moron. I went to sleep and ive been at work since then. Its just because I work with a guy called hassan and I’m used to seeing his name spelt that way.

            But its even crazier to equate misspelling Hasans name with racism or genocide. You are a nutcase and Hasan wilI never see your white knighting.
