or pay attention to the few African American posters that remain on this site because they do indeed talk about white privilege. As for shouting about rape culture, the Vice President of the United States just did that this week. He spoke about universities violating the Civil Rights Act by allowing rape to take place at alarming levels on college campuses. These are civil rights issues and liberals are supposed to care about equality rather than working to silence anyone who cares about issues that don't relate exclusively to you and those who look like you. The fact is women and people of color are the majority in the Democratic Party. You want us to shut up about issues that concern the majority of the party because you, as a member of the smallest voting demographic in the party don't want to hear about them. That smacks of entitlement.
You could easily put words like white privilege, rape, and feminism on auto-trash if you don't want to read about them. Instead, you CHOSE to enter this thread to tell feminists how trivial their concerns are. Why is that? Why do you feel a need to control what others care about?
