(73,772 posts)That a black person who only wants a black roommate is pretty much the same as David Duke?
Really?
No.
It's quite clear that rationality such as is only based in a one-sided, narrow minded point of few of the universality of white existence. In that all things which can and do apply to whites, must also somehow apply to non-whites without exception. All you have do is completely disregard the privileges that whites exclusively derive in our white centered, white indentified and white controlled society.
You say, for example, that "racism is racism." Do you really believe that black people retain an equal amount of power in this society as white people?
Do you believe that blacks can use institutions to relegate whites to inferior positions?
Do you even think that words such as "thug," "welfare" and "inner city," have the exact same connotations for both whites and non-whites?
Can you even show me the harm against all whites if one black person simply wants a black roommate? Are all instances where black people are wishing to express some sort of black solidarity for ourselves, pushing back against the overall power of a white supremacist society to negate us, supposed to be classified as "racism" as well?
Do you wonder why we don't have a "White History Month," a "White Entertainment Television" channel and a "White Congressional Caucus" as well?
Was this your intent when you wrote that?
