Once AS becomes "woke"

Post Reply New Topic

I would agree that somebody who feels discriminated against because they are "white" would be "fragile."

There is not any kind of collective guilt that is based on sex, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, mental illness or ability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression, sex characteristics, religion, creed, or individual political opinions.  Only if you actively and directly incited, planned, supported, and/or participated in a crime do you share in any of the associated guilt.

Changing the word "white" to "black" would not make this statement any less racist.

Martin Luther King Jr would be very downtrodden if he was to come back and visit America as it is today. He fought for the rights of people of colour so that all races can coexist and cooperate together. Not so Wokes can call whites racial slurs. Not so racism of any kind could continue. Rioters don't realize that they're actually turning back the clock.

The rioters are certainly going against the precepts of Dr. King.

I was around when he was alive. He inspired me even when I was 7 years old. I remember feeling pretty terrible about him being assassinated. It had much more of an impact than the Robert Kennedy assassination.

One thing that should be considered: "white" is not an ethnicity.

"White culture" is only in the imagination of the white supremacist component of our society.

I have some questions for the OP

I don't always go to college, but when I do most people there have no idea who I am. -even fewer know what my relationship status is. I suspect either: A.) not as many people held this opinion of you as you may think, or B.) what you are describing is the result of you actively discussing your break-up in conversation with lots of people at your university. In the case of the former, I totally get that feeling of worrying what others think of you, as a fellow anxious person, but hopefully it's not as bad as it seems. In the case of the latter, I wonder if these opinions were more reactionary to escape an uncomfortable situation than a true reflection of their world view or even of their view of you.


How do people bully you on facebook for 8 years? Can't you just unfriend or block them? Also, what did this bullying look like? Were these people posting new things on your timeline or messaging you out of the blue... or are you talking about, perhaps, people's responses to posts (like the the original one made here) blaming your breakup experience on feminism and politics? If the latter, have you considered that people might be responding negatively to your views on politics and feminism, not your actual personal story and/or breakup? It's okay to break things down. You don't have to mash up every stressful thing in your life into one unified theory of everything.

Your breakup sounds terrible, and I'm sorry that happened to you. -but what you are describing doesn't really sound like some huge feminist conspiracy against you (after all, in any proper conspiracy there should be some kind of a goal or gain among the conspirators, and I can't seem to fathom it in this case). It sounds more to me like your ex is kind-of manipulative, and that her friends (I believe they are called "flying monkeys" in some psychology circles) believe her stories more than they believe yours.

It was a typo.
I meant to say: 'an' old dude.

You go on, and on about it.
I wouldn't date you either.
It works both ways.

And yes, I know you aren't into males unless they are young and cute.

It does for me.
I am literally a hermit, in real life in that I avoid people like the coronavirus wherever possible.

Because it was white men who learned how to make guns and big sailing ships, and then to use fossil fuels and make machinery, on average white men have more privileges stemming from wealth. However, no amount of renouncing privilege can clear the stigma for an individual man. I have never met a feminist who can resist blaming all men for the sins of the few. A man can be married to one, and supporting her causes in every way, but still be totally resigned to being in the doghouse any time any man gets in the news for a rape. Similarly, it is men, not women, who routinely get in trouble for something that happened in their partner's dream.

Personal experience?

Then why is it still recorded by the US census?

It's recorded as a "race," and not an ethnicity.

Germans don't consider themselves "white." They consider themselves "Germans."

To be fair we have to take into account that we are only getting the OP's side of things. Second hand information that is perhaps run through his filter, self-consiousness, anxiety, paranoia.

However, what he is saying reasonable, NT girls are experts on how to push buttons and he sounds vulnerable enough to be tortured the way he described.

I thought race is recorded as :"white" in the US??
