(2,809 posts)and I don't see any of his "white people" supporters calling him out on that shit. So it's him plus 60+ million more of those assholes twiddling their thumbs about it. Now your statement But just remember, while you're ranting on Twitter, whites are still enjoying privilege, higher concentrations of wealth, better schools, better healthcare, safer drinking water, more favorable loan terms, etc Is exactly why nothing any black person says makes a lick spit of difference in dividing anything, and it isn't changing anything so I'm not sure what your point is other than, oh I know what it is, you're trolling me and want me to get all pissy and want to show me my place. Yea, nah that's ok but it only confirms where I know you're coming from comrade, troll or whatever else.
The fact of the matter is that the people the term describe have already made their decision about where they stand. The term is not for them, as for your examples of what 3 black men have said in particular. Are we using any of those terms to define anybody at this moment, in the now, not 30 years ago. Further more did it result in the deaths of anybody, anywhere, ever? No, ok, this is not an equivalency on both sides discussion because it would take about 600 years, countless, COUNTLESS deaths and the complete reversal of a global cultural system of hate and bigotry before it could even begin to.
If you are on my side then hear me when I say that the term is not meant to be on the same page as any of the insults I listed or any of the ones you listed for you or anybody like you it's squarely aimed at those who want to refuse to give up their racist and bigoted ways. The ways of those people kill black and brown people every day, EVERY DAY. Their words are used to incite to defame to label and verbally suppress black and brown people. Are you currently demeaned or otherwise. Have any black or brown people used any words anywhere to incite to violence against you or do you know anything more than some quasi equiliivent singled out incidents that make it "ain't just white people".
Yea I'm done you can argue with yourself.
