A, whom I am assuming are black people who have suffered hundreds of years of abuse by B, white people, then explain to me how B is lacking equality by A gaining it?
It would be way more complex than that.
Not every black person has suffered abuse , some black people have inflicted abuse, not all white people have inflicted abuse, some have had it inflicted on them.
Grandizer was just saying that Irish people weren't considered white, I think that's true of Italians.
So it's entirely possible you could be protecting a black person who has decended from ancestors who were warlords selling black slaves to white people, and you could be taking rights from people who weren't even considered to be white who were themselves oppressed.
Its one thing to say one race is on average more oppressed, but an entirely false thing to say you know how oppressed or not oppressed a person is because of their skin colour.
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.
