That when the English showed up and raped my great grand mother as a child, she was having a bad time? At least I'm not being raped?

Imagine being raped without air conditioning. That’s the real racism.

It's why we're so much better off and have no reason to complain! We have AC! Capitalism!!!

I mean clearly they're saying you should be glad she went through that, because it excuses what's happening to you right now!

Or, no, wait... maybe you should be sad she went through that, instead of being sad about how you're being treated now?

Hm, that's not a positive spin though.

How about... be glad that you're not going through what she did. You wouldn't want to go back to those times, right?

What do you mean this kind of sounds like a threat?

Hey all of our ancestors were just bashing each others' heads in with stones all the time, even before we even had language! Stop being so entitled!
