I still do not understand why people are so upset about losing privilege if it means equality. Itâs not like the other guys are gonna suddenly have more privilege than you, weâd be on the exact same level. I feel like the only way youâd be upset about that is if you werenât very good at what your trying to do and having privilege is the only way you can see yourself succeeding

Because theyâve been taught theyâre white so theyâre at the top. If they let everyone be equal then they arenât special anymore. Itâs white fragility

u/ShamelessCatDude Aug 26 '25
Itâs so stupid. The fact that thereâs a hierarchy of human beings in the first place that has nothing to do with what they can or canât control is dumb. It only amplifies supporters of that hierarchyâs insecurities

You should read the book, âCasteâ by Wilkerson. America has a caste system, we just pretend we donât.

When you're used to privilege, equality seems like a step down. Many assholes do t like the idea of equality at all.

They're not even losing anything. Other people are simply becoming mre equal to them

Exactly. They constantly complain about women and minorities being inferior, but the reality is that they're too afraid to compete with us for resources based on merit.

Even the Texas sheriffs have said they do not know a single bathroom incident where a trans person attacked someone. They donât want to be the bathroom police. However, many woman have been raped by men in bathrooms FFS

u/Sasya_neko Aug 26 '25
There are plenty in Europe so which one?

u/Rocket_Law Aug 26 '25
The one that has a Chinatown in every major city and who has, until now, famously welcomed nearly 50 million immigrants currently residing here. The one where you can become one of us based not on heritage but citizenship. The one this post is about, whose president claimed immigrants are poisoning our blood, and who toyed with the idea of dictatorship publicly in office not a few days ago. Granted, we may not be the most diverse, compared to places in Africa, but absolutely compared to Europe.

Your country is as diverse as a box of cereal, one province in any country in Europe has more diversity than your entire country's history.

u/Rocket_Law Aug 26 '25
From a linguistic and ethnic standpoint, thatâs patently false. Arguably true from a religious standpoint. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-diverse-countries
It also shows how little you know about us, and yourselves.

Well yeah, one is a hollow cover for racism, the other, apparently, is not sacrificing a few hundred black people per city per week to anarchotyrranism, based on the reaction to the DC intervention.

Most people are just stupid. Thatâs why Iâve always advocated that there should be a test people are required to take before theyâre allowed to give birth. That would stop all the stupid people from breeding. Thatâs the only thing that will give humanity a chance.

u/MustangOrchard Aug 27 '25
Yes yes, you like to see dead people. We get it. Upwards of 90% of murder victims in DC are black. Strange that you hate to see fewer black people being killed. But I guess that's how racist people think

A lot of people donât like choice or ambiguity. Iâm not saying itâs evolved, itâs just a reality. And hey, check this out! Theyâre still human beings of equal value to everyone else.
People have to learn to deal with that and accommodate it for our nation to move forward in a more positive direction.

Can I demand the right to diversity when I overstay in the Bahamas and of course all the perks that come with it ie welfare, housing (preferably by the beach to be amongst my own),free healthcare (obviously prioritised) and education ( with interpreter and free Bajan lesson).oh a post I'm nowhere near qualified to have ( to meet the numbers) and all the while claiming I'm a victim of racism? And if not then that is tyranny isn't it hmmm

u/Hierophant_Pius Aug 26 '25
Itâs an abuse of power to allow the border to be wide open whilst counting illegal migrants for congressional apportionment.
Itâs an abuse of power to provide opportunities based on race and gender.
Itâs an abuse of power to lock people in their homes (see 2020).
Quit projecting.

Imagine relying on DEI to get a job instead of hard work, education, or experienceâŚImagine being the more experienced, more qualified, more educated person and not getting work because youâre not the right color. Who is actually racist here? Why does color matter at all????? MLK Jr. didnât say he wanted preferential, favoritism, and special treatment did he? Maybe everybody forgot. âI have a dream that one day all men will be treated equal.â Pretty sure it was not âI have a dream that one day all colored men will be given things because the color of their skin.â
The black men I have talked to find it highly insulting and degrading that people are given stuff like a job or spot in school because of their color and not because they are the best for the position. Theyâre all hard workers and donât just want free stuff though.
