All white people are racists...or "white fragility" ??

RE: All white people are racists...or "white fragility" ??
Quote:This kind of white privilege, ignoring the claim by building a strawman and waving off the entire issue without truly examining it, is the entire issue: "Hey, bad things happen to white people, too! Therefore no problem."
I didn't say there was no problem throughout any of my post.  I'm not waving off any issue.
What I'm saying is it's stupid to make blanket statements about towns of people, even more stupid to make blanket statements about nations of people, and droolingly retarded to make blanket statements about whole races of people.
The article is full of things that the white race supposedly does, and the dangers black people face from white people.
It's stupid to tell white people to check their privilege and say "white people do such and such a thing" When theirs millions and millions of white people on earth, we don't have a uniformed gang and we aren't all privileged.

I personally like articles that if they express a subjective opinion it's written in a way that makes it clear it's a subjective opinion written from a certain perspective in a certain situation.
If the sentiment was "I've noticed white people in America freak out when called out about race." It wouldn't be annoying in the slightest. But the whole article is very focused on a one sided perspective, while at the same time as making blanket statements presented as objective facts.
I never said any such thing as this means there's no problem.

Also building a strawman would be if I was attacking a claim that the article DIDN'T make. I can quote directly from the article including the title of the article which is directly linked to exactly what I'm saying is wrong with it, I did make a lot of exaggerations admittedly if that's the strawman you're talking about.


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.
