(8,994 posts)Let me get this straight. it's okay to be racist against people who aren't racist because someone ELSE in their demographic is racist?
That's what your argument is saying.
It's bad enough that we have to wage war against racists and we cannot get away from doing that, and it takes away from our ability to fight the PLUTOCRATS who keep egging both sides on - whites, blacks, men, women, all agitated into hating each other so we can't concentrate on the most powerful oppressors of all.
But then your argument justifies doing worse than this - your logic says that we should in fact downplay bigotry against a whole demographic JUST because they're white or male.
Uh, no. I don't practice bigotry against all white men because some are racists. I take my fight to the racists, take them on face to face, and try to find common ground with every other white man as fellow members of the 99%.
