By their request?

This seems deluded to me. Obviously the people directing the marketing, design, employment practices, and operating procedures… you know … play a large part.

My assumption would be the purpose is to shame people.

Kid gloves for white people; violence for natives.

Umm… I’m not sure how to approach this, because I’m pretty sure people don’t care about the facts and just want to push whatever political narrative, but here:

Also man… The freedom convoy was removed, had their accounts frozen, officers that donated to the convoy were disciplined, and docked pay. At the time I compared it against a pipeline protest by native people, and they were both removed in equal time.

Remember Occupy Wallstreet? Go google Occupy Wallstreet Kettling, and tell me how “handled with kitty gloves” people are.

The thing I can’t stand about all of this is Natives recieve tons of support, and recognition in Canada. Like dude. I’m not saying racism doesn’t exist, and I’m not saying there isn’t generational trauma, and other issues, but just as a matter of fact, in Canada under law Natives aren’t given less, they’re given more.

But fuck reality eh.

Probably because 7% is a small ass number. Give me a 7% statistic about nonbinaries, and we’ll see how many fucks I think it’s worth.

Dude… you’re arguing that it’s better to tear down, and build from scratch then it is to retro fit. This is obvious bullshit. In your example it would be more practical to retro fit the garage then to tear it down, and build a new building. Like fuck man.

Redlining is systemic racism, people choosing to move away is just regular old racism.

This is such bullshit. It doesn’t cost millions of dollars to add new plumbing, HVAC, and interior walls.

Shock and horror… White people mooooooved…

Cool data point, but 7% doesn’t feel significant to me.

If an out of group individual is racially prejuice towards an in-group individual… They are being racist by definition. They are being racially prejudice. They are making judgements of another based on race. That fits the most clear cut definition of racism.

You are a bigiot. That’s the choice you’ve made. Your attempts at justification by diverting to sociological discussions doesn’t change this. At all.

Also you’re wrong from a sociological perspective… Because you know there’s something called intersectionality. That minorities races actually can, and do have power, and privilege, and that white people can be oppressed. You know this, so why are you bullshitting me right now?

Because you’re a bigiot.

✌️

You think I’m invalidating certain experiences by excluding them; I think you’re invalidating certain experiences by including them

One of these is oppression, the other is not.

You kiss your daddy with that mouth?

“Hey how old are you?”

• “16”

That’s not grooming.

So did he actually groom them? Because the way this is written it sounds like he asked them their age, and then waited for them to be legal, which is creepy, but I wouldn’t call it grooming.

Fucking an adult, and a teenager are not the same thing.

I stopped and nothing changed, please advise.

Singling out straight white men… so progressive!

In the CNN article I read they say musk was specifically asked to expand the network for the operation. It seems like a weird spin.

I’m not saying racism doesn’t happen on an individual level; quite the opposite. I’m saying the systemic and social oppression cannot be extricated from the individual level. And that’s why it’s not the same thing for a white person as it is for a black or brown person, when those are the in-group vs out-group respectively.

This is a crazy idea, but how about we just call out racism as a whole instead of having arguments about how racism towards whites isn’t racism.

Like holy fuck, you are wrong. You DID say racism doesn’t happen on an individual level.

Sure is. But “White” is prejudice at worst, not racism. Racism includes the inherent power dynamics and systemic racism against minorities.

☝️☝️☝️ That’s you! That’s your initial comment in this discussion.

In all honesty you’re better composed, and clearly smarter then me, but you’re either disingenuous, or caught up in your own BS, because your position is wildly inconsistent. When you start saying things like “it’s white prejuice at worst” that should be a sign to take a step back.

Anyways… Soo um… I guess if you don’t believe in the influence of actions on the individual level, you also don’t believe in grass roots, or the civil rights movements over the past 100 years?

That comment makes me feel like I was the only one bringing that to this conversation, and you are simply engaging with it from a “I’m right” perspective without even a consideration that your perspective may not be entirely right. Am I reading that right?

YOURE FUCKING RACIST. Cockroaches deserve to be exposed. You are lucky for how polite I’ve been, and that I’ve taken the time to help you stop being fucking racist. People like yourself are undoing the progress we’ve made as a society, because like every fucking other arrogant prick, you think you can balance the scales without any consideration for the greater implications.

Fuck totalitarians.You undermine the foundations of what it means to be human like every other dictator because you can’t see past your own fucking goals.

I think you’re scum. Straight up.

Also heads up… trying to gatekeep the term systemic racism is systemically racist. Sooo… Seems like you have no problem with the structures of racism when it’s beneficial towards your goals.

And of course I have fucking doubts. Maybe Marxism is the way… But I have zero faith.
