Re: Who else doesn't give two shits about Susan Boyle?
Oh goodness, you're one of those. *backs away slowly, then thinks better of it*
It's not that it's social oppression, dude, it's that white and straight pride day are every day; in other words, people who are different don't want to have to hide being different for the sake of the majority to feel safe and comfortable, when the majority get that sense of security pretty much all the time at the expense of different folks. At least, I know that's the basis behind gay pride -- I can't speak for anyone else.
XD Does that make more sense than bleating 'oh noes social oppression u all suckzors!11'?
Then again, I'd love to hear why you think that gay pride is equated with 'social degradation'. I have a feeling that I'm going to get my ass kicked, seeing as how the mod is of the same opinion as you, but I've heard people speak like this in the past and it's always boggled me that they've been so quick to say that nobody should be allowed to have their 15 minutes if white straight people can't also have it.
I can't argue that that is the reason behind gay pride day, it's a good reason too. But that's not what we are arguing about.
What we are arguing about is people who are to stupid to understand what racism or social oppression really is. I've been to other countries, I've meet some VERY racist people in the world. The people in America don't understand how good they have it. Yet the bray and moan like bitches in heat about how bad racism is and how oppressed they feel.
Try saying that someone ruined your day by being racist to you because they looked at you funny, or rolled up their windows when they drove by you to one of the women who escaped Africa after they watched their sisters and mother get rapped to death by people of the same ethnic race as them, but think they are less then human because they are from a different tribe then them. (Talking about Samalia)
And 'Nappy' means curly hair, it is NOT a racist remark for black people, stupid white people >.< (All my black friends were like, "It is?! Where have we been the past 100 years not to know that?")(Talking about firing .... oh I forget his name, for calling some women 'Nappy headed hoes.' it was fine he called them hoes, but god forbid he says they have curly hair!!)
That is what we are talking about. The stupidity of people is astounding.
