i never gave a shit about race or ancestry

At least we acknowledge the shit we did. The Turks won't come clean about all the slavery and genociding that they did.

I don't think recognising our history meana we have to wallow in guilt

Same with the entire Islamic world

and i will never understand the obsession people in the US have with it, its absurd to me

Something very Political:

We decry ourselves and don't care to look at the sins of everyone around us realizing that they are far dirtier

Why would I waste my time pretending I'm a horrible person because my great great grandparents apparently were

I think we're stronger for recognizing our sins and going forward with that knopwledge

no

If we bring back old and obsolete excuses for oppression, lets burn al left handed people for heresy

I'm also third/fourth generation immigrant so my ancestry is new to america

There is a difference between knowing history and learning from it

and living in history

And my mothers half came to America fleeing Turkish genocide of ethnic christians

Agreed, Tritrium

I'm not responsible for what my ancestors did

And my fathers half is a mix of celtic, anglo, and prussian

today i see an awful lot of people desperate to live in history because it gets them privileges and attention

If anything my ancestors are responsible for what I do not the other way around

I agree, Tritrium and I don't approve of it

Dont u think its strange

how people from the congo living here

Same way parents are responsible for their kids

dont talk about this genocide

well that's different

all they ever asked for afaik

is that the schools would do some better teaching regarding the congo

Which is a fair point since its just glossed over

but theyre not on the streets browbeating people here over historical injustices

If we learn about the DPRC can we also learn about Rhodesia?

Because "its unreasonable to expect from people here today to make up for historical things, they got nothing to do with it"

their words not mine

Textbook white patriarchy @Dvir

I am being sarcastic

I guessed so

Im almost certain that this difference in mentality has to do with that people simply stopped making these aspects a key priority

ALL THESE WHITE SUPREMICISTS

lol

After reading 800 pages of feminist queer theory I have realized how wrong I’ve been all along

no
