Ravi, you should know better. Its not about white people being oppressed, Its about that you can put a person down based on their race, basicaly saying that their race defines them, they are not an individual. So when you see a black person walking down the street, is that all you see? do you assume everything about them because they are black? or do you see them as a man or a woman with unique life experiences. Or is it just that you think white people dont have unique life experiences?
Hating whitey is all the rage in leftist society.
I think they are planning on lynching some white bucks at the DNC convention....
Its about that you can put a person down based on their race, basicaly saying that their race defines them, they are not an individual.
This skips any talk of privilege and pretends that any discussion on privilege is about judging everyone. Its not.
When someone says blacks are good dancers there isnt one person who says "hey not fair, I'm an individual" because we are talking about in general and not each person specifically
Well, I havn't seen the guy's show. But if hes shaming white people for what they have 'done to America' i thnk its quite different than saying Blacks are good dancers. You can pay good money for your kid to go to college so he can learn hes part of an oppressor race and should be ashamed. i would imagine if i as a white guy standing in a group of blacks said that Blacks are good dancers. there would be someone offended by my statement. honestly you cant say anything these days even if you think its a compliment it will be taken the wrong way by someone.
But thats the thing. You havent seen the show, no one has, but they already have determined that its bad and an attack on whites. There will always be someone offended by something so thats neither here nor there.
No one says you should feel ashamed but what happens is that when you learn about the truth of what white people have done throughout history you feel ashamed because its shameful.
Its no different than if someone was shown their father was a murderer. Will that person accuse the person presenting this fact as attempting to shame or is the fact itself shameful?
Well, i guess well see then. although there have been some on these boards who seem to feel that white people are predisposed to being an oppressor. i contend it has less to do with race and more to do with circumstance, for instance the more technologically advanced Incas and aztecs enslaved their less advanced neighbors and slaughtered them. It has more to do with fundamental tendencies as a human being and what happens when one group is more advanced then the next, but also depending on resources., geography, politics and other factors. rather then genetics.
