(53,029 posts)how social issues are less, "Third Way," and not really important?
You just claimed that a black poster is lacking in knowledge and facts about racism. You claim to know more. I submit that is itself a manifestation of the problem. That you could even claim such a thing is astounding. You have exactly zero knowledge about what it means to be subject to racism in this country because you have never experienced it, yet you just denounced the OP as lacking in knowledge and facts. Not only do you have no experience, you think her experience is irrelevant. You just proved her point.
What we have here are people who assume their own interests are universal. They don't listen or care about what anyone else experiences: you denounce her life experiences as "lacking in knowledge and facts." Entitlement is not knowledge or fact. How could she possibly count on people to promote justice for her when they refuse to as much as acknowledge her ability to articulate her own concerns?
