Other cues? Like what?That isn't always an option for people who aren't out, there are many reasons why someone may not call you out on that and you have a responsibility to consider that you might be in the wrong through other cues that aren't as explicit,
True; sometimes people are afraid of being accused of overreacting, but this is a chance they need to take because I am unable to read minds.The problem is people bringing up offense can be seen as overreacting, do you not see how this creates a vicious cycle where people bringing up legitimate problems can be dismissed by a society that just prefers the status quo?
Go back and read what you wrote, you specifically mentioned black people.I never claimed it was only black people, first off
If America was a white supremacist culture, the racist KKK would not be a weak organization, and the racist BLM would not be as powerful as they have become.and second off, white people experiencing discrimination versus resentment and such, which isn't the way to solve problems of a white supremacist culture like America making white people complacent and entitled to some degree.
That is your subjective opinion, and you’re wrong. You don’t know me well enough to judge me that way.Acting like you could never be making judgments about someone based on their appearance in linking them to generalizations or stereotypes about a racial group is naive and ignores how we are flawed and that's something we have to accept in terms of social interactions, it's how we improve
Neither do youYou don't get to speak for all black people
You act as if society acts as one; it does not. There are some places where white people get preferred treatment, other places where they get the short end of the stick; and this goes for all races.Because "all lives matter" implicitly suggests that everyone is equal in terms of how society treats them when it definitively isn't by the experiences of many non whites as regards how people treat them in contrast to white people.
I never said you did!And I never claimed white people don't struggle,
Sometimes it isit's that their struggles are not based on their race,
Whites aren’t the only ones who think that waybut how they take some attitude that they could never fail because they're white and somehow should be proud of that,
How is it different?as if there's a "white" culture in the same vein as "black" culture,
So I generalize based on real world experiences? (LOL)It is your problem in generalizing based on your experiences,
I can’t speak for the type of people you associate with, but the type of people I associate with do not glorify “whiteness” as you describe it.Whiteness would be those superficial traits we associate to people that are of European descent, particularly the UK, Netherlands, Germany, various places that would fall under that racial group, since those are, as you'd probably agree, distinct from racial groups as ethnicities and nationalities.
Blackness is seen as exotic and treated very often, especially in the early points in American history,
You still don’t get it do you. The fact that I recognize myself as a product of my past means I acknowledge what my ancestors dealt with.By your own admission, this is not something that is forced on people, you choose to do that, but you also appear to think people all just conclude the alternative you propose in a false dichotomy between a prisoner to your past or moving forward, as if acknowledging your past is somehow never a good thing.
No, I’m saying you have no more privilege than I have.More false dichotomy, as if my privilege means I'm automatically going to succeed.
Candice Owens said it best when she said;I don't cower to it, because you assume I just accept their arguments at face value, it doesn't work that way. I can acknowledge they have issues without it being my fault for being white when I use my privilege to advocate for black people and minorities in a way that has more legitimacy
White liberals cannot stand black conservatives, because we do not see ourselves as oppressed, we do not see ourselves as victims, we see ourselves as their equal; and they can’t stand that.
