My partner in crime's friend has annoyed me. I needed to vent for a moment.

I'm not judging but are you conservative? just curious

No. I see anyone who fits the mold of a political view as blind. Things are not so black and white. I'd rather follow facts than follow the media.

Social justice

Racial justice

Political correctness

White guilt

BLM

ALM

Pro-life

Pro-choice

All of it is idiotic. There are flaws to both sides. I would rather be spit on and beaten than be called a social justice warrior OR be called a Conservative Freedom fighter.

I come from the people who were first oppressed in America, But I have fair skin due to being 50% White Canadian. I am bullied for my skin color at a primarily black school all the time. I am called a white supremacist and told my ancestors did horrible things when in reality I associate with my Native American family and am outraged by racism. I am blamed for things that people did to my own ancestors.

I see it this way. I will associate with the people who called Syrup racist when they realize that Christopher Columbus, The man who started the oppression, has his own national holiday.

and I will associate with the people who raided the Capitol and fight for their rights when they realize that Masks don't hurt them and that some people in the medical field literally wear them non-stop at work every day.

In short. No, I am not.

cool (I really don't care too much about what people believe, I just want to know these things so I don't offend anyone)

Okay.

I understand where you are coming from. The States are far from a horrible country or a perfect one. It isn't the most racist, of course. The States have the most immigrants, from which are actually people of color.
But to be frank, the "democracy" is very flawed. They scored fairly low on the Index in 2020 compared to other countries.
The United States' brother, Canada, even scored higher at 5th place.
Who was first? Norway, followed by Iceland and then Sweden. Now, in all honesty, the index is kind of flawed. Sweden is one of the most racist countries, yes. But it almost balances out with laws the States do not have, or that Sweden doesn't have and the States do.
The States continue to have the gay panic law, which let's citizens murder equal citizens because they are thought of "lesser" for being lgbtq. Sure, some cases do not pass, but a lot have and still do.
Both groups of lgbtq and POC are slowly inching up to their deserved rights, like how Christians and Jews did. Did, past, not present.
Sure, some have their own beliefs on those two groups, but you will never be able to fully stop hate.
However, right now, lgbtq+ and POC are not in the same safe spot as Christians and Jews.
I will agree that the States can be a good melting pot. My science teacher lives on the same road with a former resident of Nazi Germany, mexican, two canadians, and her husband is from Sweden.
George Washington did not like the idea of two political parties, but the States drained out his opinion. And look what has happened. We have conservatives using "liberal" as an insult, and liberals continuously making fun of former Pres. Trump.
No one is at peace with each other anymore. It's disgusting.
There's more.
Sorry for the mouthful.
I'm not exactly disagreeing with you, more as informing?

So the fact that they are okay NOW negates the fact that they were oppressed THEN?

By that Logic slavery no longer matters since it was abolished. They can no longer use that in any arguments.

See? Just because it happened in the past does not negate it. That's like saying that even though I suffered abuse years ago I can't complain because it's over now.

I agree with that. That they shouldn't use slavery.
And that would be different because it's one person who it's affecting and that person was alive during the abuse and still is now, so memories can be traumatizing.

and if you haven't noticed the time the Jews were being SLAUGHTERED was AFTER slavery was abolished. There are still living survivors from that time period. What about those people? What of their families? Don't try to tell me they are safe because we both know Hitler jokes and Holocaust jokes are made DAILY in America and NOBODY is talking about it.

Those people get to listen to that shit while they think about their families. But none of those "Social Justice Warriors" are fighting for them.

Those people are suffering as well.
I'm talking about people who basing things on history, not their memories. It was horrible, all of what you mentioned, but people who didn't go through it shouldn't be complaining as much as they do.

Well, then Blacks, Jews, Christians, and Whites should ALL have to shut up, correct?

Besides the ones that are the ones with the hate crimes.

Well then, we have come to an agreement. I agree. Those still majorly affected should be allowed to speak of it freely. But those no longer actively being hurt should not complain or try to "Play victim".

Correct.

I am glad we've reached a common ground.

I can agree

Read the book White Fragility. It will answer some of those questions.

america is just red vs blue. growing up in an area with mostly white ppl, i've never seen rascism firsthand, but the whole concept is stupid. its not because of skin color, its because white supremacists want to stay in power and feel superior. theyre just afraid.

I've been discriminated against for years in my primarily black school for being white. I get bullied and called "So white I'm reflective" and "Dumbass white boy"

Even though in reality I'm 50% native and the other 50% that's White Canadian was from my father who left me and my mother when I was very young. So I've always identified as Native American because of my Mother. Natives were the first people oppressed in America yet somehow I am the Racist white boy. Lol, This country doesn't know what it's doing.

wait youre a boy? also i think there needs to be more representation for the native american population. in jewish culture, we are taught to help the oppressed and i wish i could do something but i just 1 kid

I am Agender. My pronouns are IT. But biologically yes I am male. Also, that is another thing that angers me. Blacks get so much attention but we have a close family friend who is white and Jewish but never gets any recognition even though 6 million Jews were slaughtered. It seems almost as if America idolizes the color black.

jews are widely accepted now. i've never had any problems with anti semitists. my family had already come to america before the holocaust so......

So? Blacks are widely accepted all across America and even inflict racism towards white people now. But they still get plenty of recognition.

i guess. after seeing people wearing "camp aushwitz" shirts i knew something was wrong
