LOL. Yea, no. Whites are the majority. And they're the majority in most if not all positions of power and influence. Ending discrimination is on them.

I already explained in an earlier post why affirmative action is necessary. It's not preferential treatment, it's forcing white people in charge to do the right thing.

But I'm tired of arguing at this point, so I'm dropping it. Those who get it, get it. Ok, I'll argue a little more. :)

But what you need to understand is that white males started the cycle, but don't want to take responsibility for it.

There is a difference between offensive and defensive discrimination. De-escalation is in the VICTIMIZER'S hands.

There have been few instances where white people have been like: "man, what happened to you in the past is messed up. What's STILL happening to you because of my own people that don't get it is messed up. We want to join you in changing this".

I have encountered such situations at a personal level though. I have white male and female friends who understand that yes, their ancestors and some of their contemporaries have and continue to screw people over.

The situation today is caused by outrage at the length of time it's taken to fix this.

However, having said that, we are now entering the OVERREACTION phase, which is what I think you and those that think like you are complaining about.

I honestly don't know how this will get resolved. But getting rid of the mechanisms put in place to make sure that the majority does the right thing is NOT it.

Defensive Discrimination? They defend themselves by calling us "evil" and what not, doesn't that also cause more dislike and hate? I don't want to be called out just because of my gender / skin color. They go after the wrong ones. Not everyone is the same. Never in my life have i discriminated someone, no female, no black person, no homosexual, no trans person. No one. I would never do such thing. I treat everyone decent, and if that’s not the case, it’s because of their character. Don’t expect me to play nice if you are an ass**** / jerk. But i do not guess the value of someone based on their gender or by the color of their skin, that doesn’t even make sense. But yet i am a evil and privileged white male. Stuff like that can hurt.

It’s like calling young German millennials Nazis just because of what happened 75 years ago. Unless they are actual Neo-Nazis / Ideologists, it’s not their fault.

Other people’s mistakes are not my fault, since i didn’t contribute to that and i try to stop it. Any discrimination is wrong, no matter who’s on the recieving end.

Ever heard of „Positive Discrimination“? That’s their favorite argument, and it’s total BS.

The best revenge is no revenge.

"it's forcing white people in charge to do the right thing."

What does this even mean?

If you mean racial retribution, I would disagree with the idea but respect your honesty.

The simple fact is every person of every color is an individual and has to be judged on his or her merits.

This is why people should never be judged by group---ever.

Unless you believe in retributionist policies (i.e., "get even.")

Pander pander.

I will check out Michigan avenue.

And why does the one woman in the illustration have a mustache?

Some women have mustaches.

It's actually true. Straight white man are being demonized in the west. You are just not paying attention.
[automerge]1582587750[/automerge]

White men, who are responsible for building western civilization, are being demonized left and right. You are just not paying attention.

Oh gawd please stop with this BS.
White men aren't being unjustly demonized, we fvkced over a lot of people to "achieve" what we have and we're finally being called out on it.

It's not about me or you, personally. But we benefit from a system designed to function differently for those not like us.

What exactly are you going on about? Did you not fvkc over a lot of people?

I don't believe you have. I don't know you, don't make this a "we" kind of thing here.

Yup. Back then there was plenty of whining about Apple's products, but at least we didn't have to deal with this constant alt-right nonsense.

This site used to be a respite from such things. Did they infiltrate the entire internet?

Yeah. That's what i was referring to. And i'm pretty confident, i like myself. I do not care how tall i am, i'm tall enough. As a teenager (16-19), i didn't even knew that my height was important. But many others do think it's important, more than i would like it to be. It's something we need to address.

But hey, i'm a white straight male, so i'm privileged and entitled to anything. Please give me a break.

So you're saying toxic masculinity harms everyone, not just people who aren't men?

You talk like an alt-right concern troll. Goodbye.
