First off, do you even hear yourself? You have repeatedly used labels to judge a bunch of people you have never met in your life. You can't say that every straight white male is bad if you haven't met all of them, you're judging a giant group of people only by the bad ones. That's like me taking all of the black people who've killed people and calling black people bad just for that. I fail to see how your own statements aren't racist, after all, what I said is basically the same thing and you wouldn't see me posting it on here. And you have no clue what any straight white male has gone through. We're all human, we all have struggles. White privilege doesn't exist. White people and literally any other race have the exact same laws protecting us, the same life opportunities, the same ability to succeed or fail, we're all allowed to use the same cafe without sorting between white and colored, and white people don't have anything better than a colored person does, it's the same laws in place for all people. You said that straight white males never deal with discrimination. What do you think that sentence is? You're literally biasing them and putting them into this box where you can say as much as you want against them and you'll seem in the right. The said, there is more than one type of discrimination. You're perfectly aware of poverty and how much people can get made fun of for being poor, right? Do you think that there aren't straight white males that are made fun of for living on the streets? So many times now, you've weakened your argument because you've said so much bull about how straight white males are the worst people in the world. Hate to say it, but labeling people like that is the same as saying gay black females are the worst in the world, and how racist and sexist and homophobic does that sound? And white fragility? Seriously? Good grief, if people continue making up stupid **** like this there is absolutely no chance for equality. You say there was never a time where we got along? I have proof against you. And this proof isn't from some biased dude in their basement writing an article. It's my own mom, who has talked about when she was a kid. At the time she grew up, no one cared what skin color you were, you were just another person who required the same respect as everyone else. That might be different than what you were taught, but there was a small window where no one cared. It's like the tables flipped. Let me ask you this, you aren't white, are you? If you were, I doubt you would say things like white fragility and white supremacy. Why? Because it doesn't exist. I'm white, I'm a lesbian cis girl, but I hate saying it. Do you know why? Because it doesn't matter. I'm human. You are human. White people are human. Black people are human. Everyone is human. So why in Tartarus are we all yelling at the opposite race when the only one we should care about is the human race? Because that's also answered by humanity. Humanity has flaws, we argue, we divide ourselves to make it easier to know who is good and bad. The more someone seems like you, the more you trust them. It's simple brain logic, if you see someone who looks like you, they act similar to you, you trust them. That is because it helped people find their families and tribes a long, long time ago. That logic still exists, that's why division still stands. That's why there are groups of white people, black people, other races, LGBTQ, and such because that's just what we've chosen to divide ourselves by. People have chosen what labels they have, dogs certainly didn't pick them. Dogs don't define themselves by breed, a chihuahua can get along with a pitbull. So why can't black people get along with white people? And don't comment because white people have never seen prejudice because they have. I don't judge people by their race, or gender, or sexuality, or religion. I judge them by themselves, their words, and their actions. I will never say that any race is better or worse than another, or any sexuality, or any gender, or any religion. Because none of it matters. You could judge two people of matching groupings, one could be a serial killer, the other could be a soccer mom (or dad). People are people, we're all human. But we've forgotten that it seems. Sorry to MLKJR, I guess people keep judging themselves by the color of their skin, who they love, who they believe in, and the gender they were born with or feels is more accurate, but not the content of their character. Because as we keep judging others, the content of our character seems to be less important now than it used to be. One of my fears for future generations is what will happen when we lose the meaning of the content of character because we let labels define us so much that humanity falls apart with a lack of respect for people who don't seem the same as us. It's a shame when we all have so much in common, but we don't bother to look past the surface to see it. I'm done with this thread because hopefully, I've made my point clear.
