Isn't it a little bit of a circle-jerk to have a bunch of white people, I assume, arguiing about weither or not something is racist?

I am a black guy so the question seemed logical to me. I'd ask the same thing if it was a bunch of men talking about whether something was sexist or not.

Some white guys today just have no perspective. They're either totally PC or beating their chests about being the victims of reverse racism. Seems to me we don't live in a color-blind society. Minorities don't have it as bad as they did 50+ years ago but to hear some white people complain, you'd think they were wearing shackles.

I don't get it.


I won't give a long response since this isn't the proper forum for this discussion. While I don't feel that white men are in the equivalent role as the black population has been in in the past with regards to slavery and Jim Crow, I do believe that your own posts show a cultural shift that minimizes the white male's opinion. I can't talk about racism because I'm white? I can't talk about sexism because I'm male. Fuck that. It's bullshit. The fact that you want to sideline my opinion based on that fact is racist in and of itself.


I don't mean to minimize your opinion. I just found it odd and the level of condescension annoying.
