Would you be better than a disenfranchised demographic at handling their challenges?

Re: Would you be better than a disenfranchised demographic at handling their challeng

Now isn't that hypocritical, claiming to want to move beyond class and race and then turning around and rubbing my face in the fact I have tremendous unchecked and unquestioned privilege. That's discrimination you know. All I'm trying to do is blame you for all of the circumstances of your life, and here you are trying to say that my unfamiliarity with those circumstances calls my credibility into question? That sir is preposterous and antithetical to the discourse I am trying to have with you.

Point out where I "claimed to want to move beyond class and race" (whatever that means). When I point out that you're a pampered white kid ranting away on an internet forum, I'm stating a sad truth, not discriminating. As someone being white, I can truthfully say that I'm aware of the fact that I'm entitled to more opportunities than most others (of different gender, race etc.). What exactly is it you plan to achieve from this thread, anyway? If I recall correctly, Critical Thinking calls for in depth, intellectual discussion. From what I can see, all you've done is thought up an unrealistic scenario and rather than back up your argument with facts (or at least common sense), you use hasty generalizations and unnecessary name calling in order to attempt to get your points across.

You're saying you're not opposed to racism and classism?

When I point out that you're a pampered white kid ranting away on an internet forum, I'm stating a sad truth, not discriminating.

But I'm pointing out truth in the same way when I point out that blacks/gays/women etc occupy lower social stations because of a lack of effort or superficial sense of the importance of their status and are therefore inferior.

and realtalk anyways I make less than $3000 a year and live by myself in a ghetto that exists solely because of heterocentrism/cissexism so don't pretend to know me asshole

I am engaging in In Depth Intellectual Discussion™, based on the topics here. "Is it wrong to be gay" and "Does your gender or sex define you?" both treat their subjects in the same way as this thread does so I don't see the problem. I mean, I pretty much thought this was the "question the validity of minority experiences" forum, so excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess.

Edit: Listen it's obvious that you are being passive aggressive over previous posts in CT, but this kind of post will only fuel resentment towards you and people in your demographic. Your pretentiousness and the condescending way in which you express your opinions will not aid in changing people's minds about anything.

Cool story bro. Could you tell me what will? Because I'll be ****ed if I can figure it out.

Re: Would you be better than a disenfranchised demographic at handling their challeng

I agree that a lot of minorities exaggerate how much their ethnicity or whatever impacted where they are today (although often this is not the case), however I think the idea that people shouldn't protest or speak up against such injustices such as how black people were treated when they were widely discriminated against, is completely ridiculous. The colour of their skin doesn't directly effect them, but when other people treat people differently based on the colour of their skin then yes, it DOES in fact effect them, and can (and did) hold them back. Sorry but reading your OP you seem pretty narcissistic and you're basically saying anybody who doesn't agree with you is a dumb ass. If you want people to take what you say more seriously you should be a little more respectful and open-minded.

It looks like you're just frustrated and need to perhaps come back tomorrow when you've cooled your jets as usually I agree with you but you're coming off as a bit of bigot right now.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that people can't tell when I'm being sarcastic or that they can't tell when they're looking in the mirror.

Honestly, that sounds like you're trying to cover up the fact that you've goofed up.

He (or she?) basically is. Stop trying to excuse your utter stupidity as trolling. It would have worked better if you weren't in critical thinking. You're better off just admitting to the fact that you failed miserably at creating a quality CT thread.

1. Identify anti-gay/anti-tg feelings
2. Distill their underlying reasoning to abstract form
3. Post them explicitly in a different context
4. Watch as nobody makes the connection
5. Watch as the ****ING CRITICAL THINKING FORUM fails to grasp relationships between concepts and thinks I'm serious
6. Nobody learns anything
7.
