Good grief, I never said any such thing.
Oh no, not at all. I think a lot of those guys live for the warm feeling they get from operating that way. But you have to have a bit of a submissive/masochistic personality.
Which one are you? You ducked the question before but you set the rules.
You already took #1 off the table because of your “pride”
Do you grit your teeth and lie about your interest in equality? or are you a racist?
Ah…so you are a #3, here you parrot the “cuckolding” bullshit of the fascists, nazi’s and eugenicists. You admit you are too much of a coward to do #1 but anyone who does it is a wimp…great logic there.
FWIW, even with dogs that whole alpha beta bullshit has been debunked for decades.
Hmmm…that still reads as you believe people are being disingenuous to me. People don’t feel insulted because it makes them feel good to belong regardless of being insulted. People don’t feel insulted because they like being insulted. People are insulted but too passive to get up in arms about being insulted.
Do you think people can just honestly not be insulted? That in fact there is nothing insulting here?
What about 4) Recognize that I have a lot of advantages being a straight, white, gender-typical male and I don’t care what someone says about any of those groups because I will have those advantages until I die.
Jesus, learn to read, people. Right in the middle of #2 is the sentence “This is the path I choose.”
ETA:
These advantages are not present within your social group if you are young and on the left. Social affirmation is very important to social beings like us. So to choose to be on the left is to choose, if you are a straight, cisgender white male, to swim upstream against the current. To raise that degree of difficulty for teenage white boys who are just coming of age is to turn off potential lukewarm allies needlessly. Do we LOVE lukewarm allies? No. Do we desperately NEED them? Yes.
I read that. But what do political parties have to do with how you treat people?
Of course they are present. They are present if you are a white, heterosexual, gender-typical male in America. I don’t choose to be on the “left”. I’m led there because people with advantages should help those without those advantages. I’m led there because people should be treated equally regardless of color or sex or whatever.
It’s easy. Tell teenage white boys “You have a lot of advantages. Recognize that and move on. Don’t worry about what others say about white people or straight people or gender-typical people because it doesn’t matter. Do what you can to succeed and help others to succeed”
It’s not that hard.
I’m not sure if I qualify as “young”, but I’m definitely on the left, and I’ve benefited hugely from being a straight white male. I never got caught with drugs in my youth; I never got caught breaking the law in my youth; I was never pulled over or accosted by a cop without cause; I usually got warnings when I was pulled over; I was quite a lazy student and yet easily coasted by with good grades; and much, much more. The swimming has been quite easy for me, in general, when I compare my life to those of many of my friends and family of color. Any increase in the “degree of difficulty” for white men on the left is pure fantasy.
For the people who think that ‘white fragility’ is some type type of label or mark, you just aren’t hearing what is being asked.
While I am a white man and cannot speak for people who have been subjected to discrimination. In my experience the above is what most people communicate.
The ‘guilt’ is just due to your inexperience with racial discussions, and ‘white fragility’ describes a behavior that typically blocks these conversations from happening.
Those of us who are labeled ‘white’ just tend to over react and end up avoiding these issues. The process doesn’t involve emasculation at all and no one expects you to be omnipotent.
Slow down and read for comprehension. I said those advantages are not present ** within your social group** if you choose to affiliate with progressive peers. I was speaking narrowly only of that part of life, which is an important one for a social animal. Your list of advantages is valid in many cases, but don’t help make your desired group of friends accept you as a friend if that group is young “woke” progressives who instinctively prize gay or transgendered POC above all others and who are reflexively distrustful of straight cisgendered white men. So it makes it all the more tempting for someone coming of age to take the advantages you describe plus the social advantage of acceptance on the right. If we on the left are more easily embracing of straight white guys, that won’t happen as much. And we need to remember, as I keep saying, that it’s fundamentally morally wrong to dock someone for characteristics they are born with and cannot change.
Such docking is much, much less common than you fear. Personally, I’ve never faced it, and I hang out with lots of progressives. And I’ve never found any problem or difficulty being accepted among them.
Well, of course you don’t. But as I keep saying, most young straight white dudes (of all demographic groups I can think of) aren’t going to be willing to curry favor like that.
Ah, another Doper mind reader. And it just so happens that your certainty about how I think confirms your preconceived notions!
You are just one of the laziest damn thinkers on the Dope. You really have no idea why people who don’t think like you make decisions.
Would Rush Limbaugh “seriously” call for the cancellation of another race?
Everyone except blacks, right?

I have4 asked for cites and “context” al I have gotten is stuff about her “body of work” and how she was harassed online at some point in time.
So if you have a link to the tweet chain that includes this hashtag and puts this in “context” then by all means share it. I’ll just assume you have nothing.
She is still a racist that will be given a huge platform at the New York Times. Why do other racists get fired (heck some of them are even inadvertent racists).
Even white people?
Ask the folks who got James Gunn fired
Ask the folks who got countless others fired for far less racism.
I think you are confusing homosexuality with rape. Or is hatefucking someone up the ass really just another form of sex to you?
Equating homosexuality to rape is the sort of thing a homophobe would do.
Getting raped doesn’t change your sexual orientation.
Yes, she is a racist.
Sure, now that her job depends on it.
Why do you defend some racists and not others?
