What benefit do white people have? I have never, literally not once, thought or cared about my race. My privilege is getting to live without noticing my race in any meaningful context. That’s why white people have to be “woken”. We’re comfortably asleep in our bubble, from birth.
Yeah, I got to do all that too. None of it required some special place for minorities and women to go to. All it required was people not talking about race every 5 seconds. What even is this hypothetical safe space for women and minorities that white people would theoretically be upset about anyway?
And yes, I find it far easier and more effective to change my perception of reality than try to make reality conform to my emotional state.
I think people who want to be offended will find something to take offense over and people who want to play victim will find something to claim persecution over. And I think when everyone shouts about how racist and unfair everything is all the time, it detracts from the most heinous actionable items.
I always hate talking in vague generalities. I like specific events, and specific courses of action.
It’s all a sliding scale of course. It’s the age old push and pull off nature vs nurture; being a product of the environment that created you and free will.
I think it’s telling that white people on the left are more concerned with systemic racism than minorities in general are.
Do you think it’s ok to have a women’s only space for women who have been raped by a man and are scared and scarred?
Also I disagree that minorities are less concerned about systemic racism, as everything I’ve learned about it has come from minorities. Maybe white people are louder about it, but duh, there’s more of them.
