    I never said that. I’m saying if you’re the type of person to play victim in 2019 I feel sorry for you. Whether you are gay, straight, black, white, Asian, man, or woman. The victim card has been played out. As a black person today you just can’t sit and talk about some shit that happened 400 years ago. People are past that. Yes racism exists today and in some places it’s bad. You can’t just bring up slavery and now. Nobody was alive for that. Nobody is at fault for that who is alive today. Times have advanced and people have progressed, it’s time others have to.

    Because the same people who dislike me have fun with it and know I’m gonna respond back because I have a tendency to reply even when knowing I shouldn’t.

    Only issue with this is the “b” word is used for a lot more than just women these days. The “n” word without the hard R is somehow a term of endearment now. Whatever that means

    I have said to myself while watching Zion Williamson clips that the kids a monster and it has nothing to do with race. Monster and beast can be used positively. That kid is a god damn monster, he can jump out of the gym. I mean have you seen any of his highlights? He’s 280 pounds and doing this stuff. You can’t just take everything said and be like oh that’s racist or oh he’s trying to dehumanize a black person. That’s not the case at all. Seems to me the people with race constantly stuck in their head are the ones finding the racism in shit that’s not even contextually or intended to be racist. That’s ironic to me

    I disagree with you, and I want to be respectful so if this is out of line feel free to tell me.
    I think the double standard of telling a boy not to lay there hands on a girl is crazy. Maybe teacb our kids outside of just about any not extreme situation it isnt ok to lay your hands on anyone. Its not like its more wrong to beat a man, than it is to beat a woman.
    There shouldnt be a double standard with how I treat dviss, or I treat my old white neighbor. I should treat them with respect. I have never met a Black person who wanted a double standard and for them to be treated like some sort of special class. They want to be treated equally, to have the same oppurtunities as white guys. To feel the law applies to them the same as it does to us. To feel like their skin color isnt what their judged by, but by their merit. Now I understand that my circle of friends is anectodal and not a representation of everyone, but Im not going to treat dviss or a Black person special because their black, Im going to treat them well because their humans, and ultimately part of the same race I am.

    I can absolutely see why they'd be touchy. But context, man

    Perfectly said, as always.

    And that's really where I'm coming from. I dont like it when people speak in generalizations when it's easy not to, and it doesnt matter what race, sex, etc.

    I understand your perspective, and I (of course) agree with your basic premise of treating everybody with respect, regardless of race or gender. But it's denying basic reality to suggest that the world won't react differently to actions of mine--even completely innocuous ones-- based on the race and/or gender of one toward whom they're directed. I mean, that's what the OP of this thread is about.

    What we call "double-standards" are just sensitivity to fluid dynamics.

    Really? How long ago is too long?

    If the USA exists in 80 thousand years can people stop being victims?


    I will say that after this horrific Nazi opinion by @Cippy91 I will not let him speak at my funeral.

    To me all people are unique, and made up of many different things, Race, Sex, Sexuality, Weight, Height, etc. Part of treating everyone well means to see beyond one part or two parts of them and seeing the whole. Part of respect, love and understanding for your fellow man is understanding that they may have things as part of them, that makes them more sensitive to certain comments. Like in this case, Black people have been called “monkeys” for too long in this country, so choosing your words wisely in reference to whom youre speaking is just part of treating everyone with respect to me, its not a double standard.

    The double standard and part I mainly disagreed with was that well Black people should be afforded different rules because of 400 years worth of attrocities against them. I think Black people should be treated equally, or at the least not treated differently solely because of their skin color. Dviss or any one of my friends of color (mexicans, asain, blacks) dont get to tell me how I should think or feel, any more than I should be able to dictate to them their feelings.

    The thing is Dviss and a couple RL friends I respect help me to understand their perspective as minorities, they help me realize how good I have it. Just as even though Im white male, I can help them to understand my perspective. Understanding is a very crucial step in the process of treating everyone equally with respect.

    Im super tired and the kids are finallg sleeping so I reserve the right to delete this when I wake up and realize its horrible lol.

    White people are the ones calling us apes.

    Yes! If white people could stop oppressing us, that'd be pretty fucking nice...

    And if you think that's a generalization then you must not speak English well.
