You clearly don’t understand your own privilege. That thread of tweets clearly displays the discontent you have of understanding being “called” something versus bonafide systemic oppression and debasement. While I see where you were trying to get to, you fell woefully short.
Very fair. It really wasn’t my intention to offend people; it was an honest reaction to a pattern I saw: saying “straight white males” are responsible for all evil in society. That’s not true, just like a lot of the horrible things generalized about black people.https://twitter.com/xlovelylaurenx/status/997754874828918784 …

he ignores the historical context of the n-word. when you ignore context for the premise of your argument, your tool of "logic" falls short

You feel victimized by “straight white male” because never before in your life have you felt less-than-guaranteed to be made to feel like the most respectable or trustworthy or interesting person in the room. Call it a slur, I call it your refusal to consider what equality means.

SO BEING GRATEFUL THAT HE IS A STRAIGHT WHITE MALE HAS SOMEHOW BECOME A BAD THING. OKAY THATS THE WORK OF SATAN RIGHT THERE.

Holler at me when "straight white males" have to purchase a book to find out how to travel in your own country and lower the odds of being killed or arrested. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Negro_Motorist_Green_Book …

Evidently. Some of Your Past Tweets...Would kind of blow this tweet...Right out of the water.....

I think the tweet in which he feels very hurt and sorry for himself is meant to be taken in isolation. There's no way to read it in the context of his other tweets and not just conclude that this guy is a colossal hooting dickhole.

This guy is truly a piece of work.

it’s absurd. He’s had days to delete those by now too. They’re all still up

You realize the N-word wasn’t a reaction to black people doing bad things, right? It was /is a term used to dehumanize people based on skin color. It’s not just generalizing a group from the actions of a few.
-
This dude is all about people being understanding of his [100% ridiculous] point, yet he has zero interest in giving a fuck about the realness and history and dehumanizing power of the n word.

But can’t you understand why this might really offend and hurt people who really are discriminated against?

@JoshDenny I want to know the answer to this as well. I want to continue and understand this conversation. Willing to participate? -
I really think it’s unfair to pretend like this is the fault of people who can’t take jokes. I take jokes all the time. This one wasn’t funny, like, not at all.
