Sorry...all white have privilege just because they’re white that they’re not aware of.

Still used to dismiss their opinions. How many times have we seen “you can’t have an opinion on this because you’re white”?




In the real world or in video from right wing sites or stations?

How many people have you heard say that in real life?

How many individual people have you heard say that on television?

I've definitely heard a conservative blowhard comment on this particular part of the PC 'epidemic', but I've never ever even heard about this happening to someone I know.

If all of your news sources say something is ubiquitous but you've never or very rarely experienced it in RL there's a chance you're in an echo chamber.

I see and hear it all the time. White people questioning the mantra just need to shut up because they don’t understand because of their privilege.

Same thing with men who dare try to discuss issues like abortion. Men aren’t supposed to have an opinion (unless they’re pro choice).

Both are ways to stifle any debate and marginalize dissenting opinion.

That's a good sign for liberalism in Albany if that's the case.

I have white friends who quickly throw it around on social media.

It is their dog whistle for "you are a racist/nazi and you don't deserve to he heard".

It is always OK to punch a nazi.

All men and women are free to have an opinion about abortion. Enforcing that opinion is a different matter. No one but the pregnant woman has a right to actually make that difficult decision.

Give me some examples of situations where white people are told that they aren't entitled to opinions. I have never heard that at all.

All I ever hear is the phrase that everyone is entitled to his opinion. An opinion is usually all we are entitled to have regarding the behavior of others.

Maybe you are confusing having an opinion with having the right to command someone else.

Whitesplaining

They have a dictionary term and everything for when white people are told they can't discuss issues of race not involving their race.

That could be interpreted that a doctor refusing to perform abortions has violated rights and could be imprisoned.

Pretty sure it was an all man supreme court that decided on Roe V Wade. Should we now reverse that decision since woman weren't actually represented on the most important abortion decision in the country?

Holy shite. Your IQ must be room temperature if you believe this. Obama was BY FAR the most decisive president we've ever had and set race relations back 40 years.

By the way, if you live in the USA, Trump is your president too.

I'm not you.

I don't read your mind.

Either version (interpreted or misinterpreted) can work with the "could be" qualifier.

Trump has been far more decisive from his stupid rants on Twitter to questionable at best descions regarding Covid and the riots. Obama wasn't a good president but he wasn't nearly as decisive as Trump

I’m still how trying to figure how he’s considered divisive when every single time he shits on someone it’s in response to someone slamming him or calling him a Russian puppet or things to that affect. The left hates his guts and because he fights back he’s considered divisive. Hey let’s act like absolute scum and go OMG he’s so divisive when he drops a MOAB on Twitter. Gotta love it

Hillary basically said any Trump voters were deplorable. Joe Biden just said something similar. Sounds pretty divisive to me.

Absolutely. But these terms were recently developed by progressives to stifle dissent or argument. This level of brainwashing is why Brees got into so much trouble. Nobody would even acknowledge that he had a personal reason for not wanting to protest the National Anthem. His opinion didn’t matter...he was forced to shut up and apologize for nothing.

My God you're impressive with your mental gymnastics. The dude acts like a child on Twitter and can never take the blame on anything. I don't know who's more delusional him or his cult like followers

Don’t start no shite won’t be no shite. Liberals can’t help themselves though.
