[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 77158779, member: 302807"] I'm sure I don't know but they sought validation all the same. They demanded that people repeat their validation or they were "complicit" in whatever evil they imagined themselves fighting. No I recall you stating that. I disagree. The phrase "it's ok to be white" says absolutely nothing about importance. It's a statement of broad acceptance. I don't think you understand the statement I made then. I agree with the statement black lives matter because I believe all lives matter. You may have noticed that when people said this in response to black lives matter....they were called everything from bigots to white supremacists. I likewise agree that it's ok to be white....just as it's ok to be any race or color. You may have noticed that people who said the same (that it's ok to be any race or color) were not treated as harshly as those saying "all lives matter" in response to "black lives matter". Nobody was treated as if they were bigots for saying that it's ok to be any race or color. With this in mind, I think it's easy to see how the word "black" was far more important than the word "lives" to the people marching around chanting black lives matter. Yet that does not mean I would disagree with the statement....even knowing the racist feelings of those saying it....because the "lives" are what's important to me. It doesn't matter if someone thinks I'm a bigot for saying all lives matter....those people are just racists after all. In fact, you may even recall one of their later slogans "No lives matter till black lives matter"....which is a statement I would disagree with. I don't give greater importance to the lives of one race over another. That's something racists do. The phrase "it's ok to be white" never resulted in widespread accusations of bigotry or racism to anyone who responded "it's ok to be any race or color". That quite simply never happened. Now, as to your accusations of a false equivalency....the only thing I'm claiming is equivalent in regards to is your professed stance on validating racial statements. They both apply equally. Because it is acceptable....just as acceptable as any other skin color. It is precisely because I treat them equally (any race or skin color) that it stops being something that matters. This is a view called "colorblindness" and it used to be the mainstream view on the left side of the political aisle....until the last maybe 5 years or so. If you understand that "It's ok to be white" means that it's acceptable to be white....why would you disagree or reject the statement? Is it because you think it is unacceptable to be white or any other race? What's the underlying premise? [/QUOTE]
