    The people who support this sort of thing are deeply nuerotic, they need psychiatric help... though there's a good chance they'd be a lost cause as it also requires room temperature IQ to support this sort of insanity.

    This actually answers a great deal many questions. See, the point of a 12-step recovery program is to NOT be what you were - so we have to assume that the goal of a recovery program for whites is to eventually become black.

    What I'm trying to say is that this explains the Rachel Dolezal's of the world. They already went thru this program. Maybe they even helped design it.

    Perhaps we could really give it a proper run in Australia by turning all the white people there into aborigines. I'm sure they would be glad to volunteer.

    I guess when you have an entire political party that is steadfast trying to legally mandate you as a second class citizen things like an optional lecture are not really that important...

    If you are “pissed off” about this maybe it is because you are in a class that doesn’t worry about legal protections because you already have all of them... Doesn’t mean we support it (I agree it is absolutely absurd) — just that it is such a tiny concern it isn’t on the radar.

    And the first result is a Russian thread whining about the same thing? Do all of the rightwing walking points come from Russia?

    A slogan? That's your response?

    No I have read the posts, the memes and reported many - sadly they cannot see it in themselves and will use what they perceive as “racist attacks” like the storm in a teacup OP to justify their own racism

    I’ll happily compare systemic, institutional government discrimination that occurs against whites and blacks today with you and I ASSURE you that I can name more instances of that explicit discrimination against whites than you can blacks.

    Race is protected legally so the differences here are mostly ingrained not “legal” (ie decision by officers to pull over blacks more often — it isn’t legal but it can’t be really proven that is the reason either)

    Let’s do homosexuality with explicit discrimination since you “have it so bad”
    Able to be fired because of characteristic
    Able to be denied adoption because of characteristic
    Able to be denied housing because of characteristic
    Able to be denied services because of characteristic
    Able to be married soon potentially because of characteristic
    Able to be denied educational admittance because of characteristic
    Able to be denied medical treatment because of characteristic

    Your turn

    Is there a recovery program for the people who captured and sold their own kind?

    I have to disagree to a degree. Right now it's not huge, but it is getting weird out there.

    My best friend is very gay. She's married to another very gay woman. In every way sane, they support the entire LGBTQ community. We know quite a few transgendered people, and they are all far happier than they were before the change.

    My best friend was accused of being anti LGBTQ. Reason? She didn't express enthusiasm for someone deciding to go through with the change, get this: in the only correct way to show support.

    Something is definitely out of balance in this area. Five years ago, I blew this nonsense off as a stupid trend. It's more than a trend now. It must die.

    What about a program for those who're practically genociding their own through homicide and abortion, but run around loosing their **** when occasionally one of theirs is killed by a cop of another race?

    A Russian reddit page, they don’t “source” anything — they crawl and rank results.

    I dunno, maybe if you'd stay on topic, and not display the most literal widening of goal posts I've evern seen. Lol

    I don’t really care much about how people “feel” — I care about how they are treated legally.
    Yes, people are too sensitive and the PC bullshit is, well, bullshit.
    That doesn’t mean there are not major injustices that almost always come from the people now whining about a voluntary lecture.

    In my book people that demand people react a certain way (like against your friend) are no better than the people whining about others taking a class... How do you propose we “kill” it?

    The question was asked why it doesn’t “piss us off”, I answered and explained.
    If you believe that is widening of the goalposts then you don’t understand what what was said. I understand if it damages your narrative so feigning comprehension issues is an easier alternative.
