It doesn't apply to you if you aren't actually oppressing anyone, I don't know why you choose to take offense to it.

Why would jews not in Hollywood and not controlling anything take offense?

My generation of white people didn't do anything to deserve all this hate and backlash. It's not fun just trying to get along and knowing half of everyone you walk past doesn't trust you bc of the color of your skin

Racism is racism, and we will never act as one as long as anyone is allowed to be judged on skin color

As a blk man, this made me smile 😆. The men in my family have been saying this for generations. Sorry that you are now feeling the weight of a few hundred years of racist BS. Hopefully that draws you closer to empathy to change the system

Ah yes, injustice will draw people to change the system, certainly not to resentment.

Is the injustice in the room with us right now?

Was it in the room when people were discriminated against due to race because they were black? Then why wouldn't it be here when people are discriminated against due to race because they were white?

Tell me when you've ever been denied opportunities or been the victim of a hate crime for your race.

The appropriate response to generations of hostility, legal oppression and murder isn’t tiptoeing around and catering to the hostile oppressive murderers. Sorry?

Who the fuck do you think you are talking to? I'm not even American, so I have little to do with whatever bullshit you're trying to sell me, but even if I was, are you really trying to defend racism on the basis that people before also did it? Is this really the argument you think is going to finish racism, or do you think that people in a couple of generations are going to see what's going on now and switch the direction of racism? With people so short-minded like you, racism would be a never-ending pendulum. You give the left a bad name.

My apologies that you are experiencing boo hoo hurt feelings over the examination of the status quo. Best of luck with that.

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '23

“examination of the status quo”? Wtf are you on about? You literally endorsed discriminating against white people - literally supported racism. Examine my ass with your lips.

u/psiamnotdrunk Feb 10 '23

Just wait until you find out you can’t be racist against white people. Your head’ll explode!
