Quote:h, 21b, 21Why is that every time the suffering of one group is mentioned, like the genocide of Native Americans, all the privileged white folks start crying about how hard life is for them?b, 21b, 21Why can't they wait till Saint Patrick's Day to whine about their awful life? b, 21b, 21h, 21
font class="post"1b, 21b, 21this is the attitude I was addressing. why doesnt everyone shut the F*ck up about discrimination? All it ever turns into is "this people suffered more" "no they didnt, these people suffered more" "you suck" "no you suck" and 90% of the f*cking time it is folks who not even of the f*cking ethnicity/race being discussed.b, 21b, 21The race threads and discussion of discrimination on the strut are pathetic and a huge joke.
Yeah, I don't need to smash your teeth in. From the looks of that horrible overbite, you've got enough dental problems as it is. I'm not gonna get violent over your ignorance. b, 21b, 21But f[i]/i1uck you just the same.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Its not an overbite. I was just concentrating. I also think it is insensitive for you to make racist comments based on my possibly stereoptypical Irish teeth.
I love when white people come with the "buh...buh...but...what about us!" shit. Like that somehow gives them free reign to make ignorant or racist comments. "We've ALL been wronged so get over it." is the weakest cop out ever.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21b, 21Well, we all know how well the British treated the Irish for close to 1000 years and they weren't treated with too much respect when they came to America either. To a small degree, I think Chinese & Irish immigrants had a bit in common during those years.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Whatever. What you said was foul. If it had been "Black people love fried chicken and watermelon"[/b] or some other bullshit, the SS Race Police would have been all up in your ass. It's because Native Americans are an under represented people that some feel its OK to say disparaging things. b, 21b, 21So again, F[i]/i1UCK YOU.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21You're reaching Soulstrut levels of reasoning here. I never said I had a problem with that. I have a problem with your stupidity.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21 I wasnt addressing it as a cop out and as a free pass to say ignorant shit. I just think the ignoring of other forms of discrimination in history is stupid and ignorant in itself. Case in point, some of the statements that have accompanied the mention of Irish discrimination...it got laughed off with a GTFOHWTBS attitdue. Just an example of how the race threads on the strut suck.

font class="post"1b, 21b, 21b, 21Yeah, this isn't a pissing match to see who's had it the worst. I'm not discounting what other races have gone through, but let's be real here - historically, in this country at least, I would say Native Americans and Black folks hold the crown. Is this really even an argument? b, 21b, 21Semantics. Saba is still a prick.
