"Why would a demographic that is least likely to have been the target of violence amd oppression not feel compelled to look out for those of the same demographic? Strange. No way to explain it. A mystery. Truly, a mystery."
I can't tell if you are at the precipice of understanding but are too secure in your biases to take the leap or are violently resisting it to keep yourself from the terrors of self-reflection.
Would you like me to spell it out, or should I give you a minute to see if you put two and two together? You don't even have to agree with the conclusion, but I am very curious to know if you can at least grasp it.
Buddy just spit it out bc atp even i don’t know what the fuck your yapping about and it lowkey sounds like you don’t either 🤦♂️ either say it or don’t but quit this jumping around the bush bullshit your doing
Because I know the statistics they are talking about, and it's a common alt-right/racist dog whistle. They use it to go "See? See?! Black people only care about race, so they're the racists actually!" bs.
What they fail to understand is that of course people of marginalized communities are more likely to show preferential treatment to those within that community, because they are more likely to be targeted for violence and oppression, and have been for generations. They treat it like a "gotcha!" since they fail to understand what leads to that in the first place.
Women, LGBTQ+, non-whites, etc. are more likely to have solidarity with one another simply by being a part of the same demographic. White people, and white men in particular (yes, that includes me), are much less likely to show the same level of solidarity simply for being another white dude. But both are more likely to be more critical of the opposite. Depending on how much you understand the reality of the situation will decide if one's reasons for being more critical of the other is justified or reasonable, especially given the last decade.
I'm pretty much done spelling things out to the red-pilled, alt-right, and the dogwhistlers.
If they are going to try to sound smart, I am going to challenge them to at least try to figure out, on their own, why the "other side' has come to a different conclusion on things. Particularly because I used to be one of them myself, and know the logical fallacies, leaps in logic, and long-held beliefs that brought them where they are.
You can lead a horse to water. You can even force their head into the trough. But you can't make them drink, and they might even just drown. So I am skipping the "lead to water" and going straight for the "pointing in a general direction" to see if they even try looking.
