I suspect that a lot of white people in the fedi think if there were as much racism as Black folks are saying then they would see more of it. However, they're misunderstanding the nature of the racism. It's not casual, it's _targeted_. The racists go out of their way to find Black people and harass them.
Since it's targeted, people who aren't the targets see only a very small fraction of it.
Black folks aren't making shit up. Listen to them.

@jik +1 to this. If you're white try making an account as a person of color. The hate pile on quite real.
As an engineer I recognize that countering that is extremely challenging without a central authority approving access to the network.
Subscribing to some sort of real-time blocking service for instance operators might help (its a spam mitigation technique in email)
@ChuckMcManis - yikes! Digital blackface isn't the take you think it is.
How about you just believe Black people.
That's an interesting take. Even without the inflammatory reference to 'blackface'. Do you always assume people you don't know are bad actors?
@ChuckMcManis Just a heads up, Uncle Sam got his account suspended for this conversation.
