News Why It's So Hard To Talk To White People About Racism

[Truthful_Whispers]

I freely admit I have some personal discriminations, for even more personal reasons. But, it doesn't mean that I am cruel to people. I realize the world is made up of many different things.

Derailing for dummies. You're talking about scholarships as a great injustice, where these very same peopl...

You're the one who threw those great injustices in there. Not me.

I haven't thrown anything anywhere.
That playing ground is already as is. I'm just saying the grass is green.

No, they're not.

I don't have to condone, like or love everybody, nor do I want to. I can easily tolerate, though, as long as they don't cross too many personal boundaries.

@LuckyDuck: Thank you for illustrating why it's so hard to talk to people about racism. It's very topical.

Like religion, it is just a sensitive subject, particularly nowadays. It's all good :)

*clap clap clap clap clap* You've got your shaming tactics down pat there, @Cashew.

Actually, shaming looks quite different. You're denying reality, and with that fundamental cognitive disconnect & a lack of empathy for other people's problems because you do not experience them, therefore they don't exist? That's not an issue in anyone I can, or should, be solving.

Edited to add: Both me and my partner face quite many attacks just for not being white. Even where in 'safe' countries. There is no way I can stop considering that, as it's something rather close to me and rather personal, personal for mine and most of my close friends. There is no way to convert daily fear-for-life of some degree into a rhetorical question. Simple as that.

I'm not denying reality. I'm denying your version of reality.

Lets just get back to the topic. Or lets just cease conversing to each other on the topic.

Edit to your edit: You're involving yourself in to make a response from me about yourself personal, to help bolster the "you have no empathy" attack on my character. Not going to work.

Neither of your profiles state whether you are male or female. If you are female, how bout you both strip down for a nice bra and panties tickle fight, to determine who wins the debate. I will personally referee. ;) Whaddaya say? If you're male, forget it. I don't swing that way.
