And that rhythm was wrong in calling descriptions of racist incidents against white people as being racially charged and saying my family being the victims of racism is a result of not using white privilege properly.

The majority of this forum has an agenda and a dogma that not following results in insults, mocking and false accusations.

Plus accusations that make no sense such as I don't want to talk about white privilege, that's why I made a thread about it.
I don't want to talk about white privilege because in my first post I gave an opinion so I must just be answering my own question and not letting others talk.
I want to talk about other races than black and white but that would upset the narrative that only white people as a group have advantages in America.

Then you have to ask yourself as to why some groups have it better than others. For a start, white people have advantages more than other people. However, in spite of their demographics are concerned, the Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese and Koreans have privileges too over the black population. The question is why. Racism against blacks and Asians and Mexicans has existed in the USA since before the dawn of time, yet somehow it comes down to integration.

It comes down to a lot of things on all sides of each race,

But some reasons are more popular than others depending on who you talk to and what their agenda is.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

You clearly misunderstood my point when I wrote that introducing other races into the dicussion clouds the issue ... but quite frankly, I'm not interested in clarifying it any further for you. You're obviously invested in being aggrieved and far be it for me to interfere with your self-satisfaction.

If you are talking to someone who is the sort of person who criticises Christianism yet praises Islam in the same breath, then they are called liberals. They are the worst kind and do it to be popular. I have come across it many times, defending one faith and criticising another, defending one ethnic group whilst criticising another or not know anything about it because it is NOT newsworthy in the USA or indeed the UK.

Kind of ironic that you speak of "false accusations" and then make a massive one now.

Got any evidence of that ridiculous accusation against the majority of the forum or are you just playing the victim because many people disagree with your denial of reality?

I would have to disagree. It doesn't cloud the issue, it simply detracts from what the agenda is for some. For them, there exists two ethnic groups in the USA; the blacks and the whites. The inbetweens are insignificant and it has shown.
