That’s what always happens with you people. You get down to the actual rules/parameters and you can’t define what’s ok.
Sure he can. Take "white privilege" for example. The left tells us that "white privilege" is the enormous elephant in the room concerning all things not white and pilt's best answer for combating it is to "avoid contributing to the problem." Very forward thinking. I'm not sure why so many of us had not previously thought of that truly progressive idea prior to the recognition of "white privilege" by the left.
Okay, actually dumb, not just playing dumb. Fair enough.
Read this on who gets to be white in America
As for why it is OK to call GW Bush a monkey, but not VJ? In the U.S. the essential humanity of white people has never been in question.
I had to rise to the occasion when replying to your equally brilliant take.
You bring up white privilege more than anyone else on this board.
Because it's an enormous elephant that we should all be working diligently to solve. Or is it really not that big of a deal?
Yep. There's zero comparison to be made about the current left and the religious right. Progressives are an incredibly tolerant bunch.
I have already told you that it is not my preferred way to speak about the issue because it automatically puts idiots on the defensive.
I agree that your comparison was ridiculous. Where was I making a similar comparison?
Why would you be defensive? It's either an issue worthy of considerable conversation and the sharing of ideas or it isn't.
The inequality of life between races in America is an issue worthy of considerable conversation, but addressing the issue as "white privilege" puts idiots on the defensive.
Again, why would you be defensive? I didn't come up with "white privilege" and I'm certainly not married to the term. I use it because it's what the left end of the political spectrum commonly calls it.
Of course I can. I'm not the one quoting part of it and trying to change the context of the entire post.
So I came up with the term "white privilege?" Or the left doesn't commonly use the term? Or maybe both? What exactly are you disputing?
If it used commonly on the left then you should have plenty of opportunities to go argue with people who actually bring it up.
Huh? You just said that it was a topic worthy of considerable conversation. Are the semantics of what it's called really more important to you?
If you actually cared you'd make an effort at metrics, establishing a benchmark from which conversation can spring forth.
Not a tall task.
I highly doubt you truly care. You just like a good mace or warhammer, ambiguously defined but emotionally charged enough to be somewhat effective in dumb circles.
Brad If you actually loved your mom you'd spend the rest of the day banging your head against the wall.
Not a tall task.
I highly doubt you truly love her. You just like a good mace or warhammer, ambiguously defined but emotionally charged enough to be somewhat effective in dumb circles.
