Random Conversation 2.0

Athena said:
I see this. I see the differences, trust me. And it sickens me. I hear and see so much racism, like people think I am on their side or give a shit about their opinion. I had one "client" tell me that they didn't like their last "professional" because he was "foreign." I told them I was foreign and they should find another "professional." Fuck them.

And this is exactly what I mean by your whiteness shields you. You're considered to more American than even me and I was actually born and raised here. It's absolutely crazy and the worst thing is I don't even know where to begin to fix it. Just really sad

And this kind of bs irks the fuck out of me. We can never have a conversation about racism because someone interjects with well we have it bad too so what. So let's all stay silent and suffer

Your problem is that you want to talk about it ALL the time. You also have a tendency to turn these conversations into, pardon the pun, a black hole that sucks any productive energy out of the discourse. It becomes another TDK soapbox between bouts of thirst in the lingerie thread.

You are correct, I'll more likely get turned down because of bad credit than race. But someone would follow me down the mall and rape me in the car park. And you are correct, I'm much less likely to be stopped and frisked, but much more likely to die at the hands of my husband.

And I'm much more likely to worry that this first date is going to end up with me in a bloody heap in a back alley than I worry he'll look fat naked.

You could go tit for tat all day

Like stated before tho, every segment has unique trappings

Blowing off whatever women experience like its trivial is the issue

Like we all don't thirst in the lingerie thread lol
I turn this shit unproductive? Try again. I'm not the one focusing this shit on meaningless nonsense like using thug as a self description.
 
don't trivialize what bm deal with on a daily basis just to try to show support to ww.

No one is dismissing what BM deal with or expecting anyone else to make light of BM's experiences for the sake of "supporting WW". The majority of the women on this site have the utmost love, respect, and appreciation for BM and what they deal with, and for anyone to suggest otherwise is silly.

Truth be told, this site is often not a female-friendly place. Typically, it's the women's contributions and experiences that are trivialized by certain male members who seem to hold being female and white against us for some reason. We have more to offer than tits, ass, and ego-stroking, yet those things are typically what get the most positive male responses around here. And, at other times, it seems like some of the men either forget or just don't care that this site is meant for us too; sometimes it's like some forget we're even here.

It should NOT be some contest about who has it worse or some 'us vs. them' gender and/or race competition. What it should be about is RESPECT for one another as PEOPLE. We ALL have something of value to contribute to this site, and every member should be able to share without having their experiences mocked or dismissed. Pain and struggle are part of the HUMAN experience, and none of us has any right to dismiss another's pain just because it's source is different than our own. Truth is, without walking in others' shoes, you don't know what they've been through or the effect it's had on them. Love, compassion, and respect for one another as HUMAN BEINGS should be priority. The jacked up divisive and derisive mentality needs to go, because it brings nothing worth having to this site or to life experience itself.

Well said but isnt there something to be said when certain things are presented. I consider myself a progressive and just want plain equality for all fuck race and gender just treat me like a person.
And lets also be fair the shit with the men comes up more because like I said before people like us are getting executed weekly so its bound to come with certain emotions. Trust me I don't like to get on a soapbox and constantly talk about this stuff but they are killing us. Its fucking exhausting to constantly think about this shit to have to peotest for my human rights. So when the discussion is focused on that and someone derails the conversation it feels like yet another person trivializing our pain. It may not be the intention but it is the feeling. I'd rep you but I'm all out. Good post Tam

Yes.

Your need to express whatever pain you feel by virtue of being black is a sword for striking at any perceived transgression by female members. I say female as they (with the exception of that creepy cuckold motherfucker) constitute the majority of white members on the board.

Oh she went on a date with a white guy, that's a problem that needs to be addressed.

You've pulled that shit so many times. Insecure much?

As I said before, none of us are the perfect ideal of what anyone would like us to be, and I'm certainly critical but don't expect people to bear my cross too.

I thought you mellowed out for a bit after you got a girl, but fuck sometimes you're worse than ever. Give the lecture circuit a rest.
