That's all I feel like saying. I'm sure SOMEONE will pick apart what I said and twist it around to fit their victim narrative. In anticipation of that, I'll summarise my arguments below.
I agree with you that we shouldn't expect someone else to fix our problems. It's a mentality that accomplishes very little. Keep that in mind as I show you why I disagree with all of your major arguments.
Race: White people did some ♥♥♥♥. It's old news. Let it go. The same people that are being "held down by whitey" are the same people living in white nations, going to white schools and affiliating white people/companies/organisations. Choose one. Can't have both. Either stay away from them or leave them the hell alone, UNLESS, as I've already said, it ventures into aggressive, KKK territory.
I don't know where you live, but racism is very much alive and well in rural Midwestern America. Neither side trusts the other. The younger generations often grow beyond the old ways, but not always. And yes this is a firsthand account. All knowledge is firsthand before it's anything else.
I haven't been to every little hick town, but I've spent a lot of time in a lot of towns around here. I've lived here all my life, and I can reasonably infer that what I have seen specifically is the case generally for the rural Midwest.
What you don't seem to realize is that racism isn't big and boisterous anymore. It lurks in the shadows and the whispers. In a predominately white town, the few black people will be isolated: many (mostly older) people will avoid any contact, and even the more sensible folk are uncomfortable and avoidant. Which means that when a black person gets overcharged by a mechanic, denied for a job, screwed over by the car salesman, they have no one to go to with their issues.
Your suggestion is that they just up and leave their hometown. Which may be an option or may not, but here's the thing: they did nothing to deserve this treatment. Is it fair to require them to uproot their family? Hell no.
Honestly your suggested course of action is medieval and would almost certainly exacerbate the type of unfair treatment I mentioned above. This quiet racism can only happen when areas are predominately one color, and largely distrustful of or uncomfortable with other colors.
Sex/Gender: Men have power, but also responsibility. Until I see feminists tackling male issues (instead of tackling female issues claiming they help males too without evidence to support this), until I see feminists talking about the courts or marriage laws, until I see open and honest dialogue taking place without the 'M' word being used, until I see women going for STEM and other hard degrees and being prohibited from obtaining them (essentially proof of the wage gap/employment gap), you lot will get no quarter from me. Either practice equality or don't, but be honest about it for Christs' Sake!
If I'm understanding this correctly, your argument is that since men are held accountable for their actions but women are not, men don't receive any sort of special treatment.
I hope I'm not understanding you correctly.
And also, are you making the argument that women shouldn't stand up for their rights unless they also stand up for men's rights? Should they also have to clean up our rivers and fund the government before being allowed to point out injustice?
Sexuality: Your sexual identity/orientation is seen as strange (or queer, as the true definition means 'strange'). No one cares as much as you think they do. Only religious whackjobs with nothing better to do. I certainly don't care. I personally find gay males much easier to deal with than straight ones. Let people say what will about you, but defend yourself if need be. Okay? OKAY!
Once again, this is the exact opposite of what is true in the Midwest. You get shunned, beaten and otherwise mistreated if certain people even think you might be gay. And we all have heard this news stories of boys who were discovered to actually be gay and were killed in excruciatingly painful ways because of it.
I find it ironic that you accused someone of making false assertions about everyone else based on their own experience. In regards to "no one cares as much as you think they do", I can only say: put on a dress, spend some time in my neck of the woods, and I'll call the ambulance.
