Quoted from cosmokramer:Can someone explain to me why it is ok to have a "Miss Black America" pagent where the color of your skin can keep you from participating?
Or why is brown pride a celebration of your heritage but white pride is racism?
You can have pride in your heritage if you are white. You don't call it white pride you call it by whatever heritage you are IE British, Scottish, Irish, etc. White pride has historical implications such as the KKK and well Hitler.
Quoted from jar155:It's not great being ignorant, but to be PROUDLY and militantly ignorant takes a special lack of regard for society. If you don't "get" why it's wrong to be sexist, casually racist, all out racist, or to slam people about gender identity or sexual attraction, that says far more about your own level of self-education than it does about anybody or anything else. There's simply too much information and too many voices out there that will happily explain why poor behavior is indeed poor behavior. Ignoring it only makes you look more and more like a slack-jawed yokel as the days go by and society leaves you behind.
Believe me, it's a better life when you just allow others to be as comfortable as you are. Their emotional safety and physical comfort doesn't take away from you at all. If your happiness hinges on the preservation of a fictional character from a show long past its prime, you really don't know what it's like to have true worry in life. Open your eyes and see how the rest of the world lives and what true struggle is.
Really well put, I 100% agree with you.
