I know, it's a mistake to give attention to this whining-noise-with-shoes but the way she pretends race grievances in the US have a goddamned thing to do with her is obnoxious.

That's the whole point of grievances, though. They are a rhetorical device to make the universe about you (and your pain and suffering.)

What I mean is, native and black Americans have legitimate beef with white Americans. This cow is doing the grievance version of stolen valor.

What's legitimate? They have beef for sure, though.https://twitter.com/moritheil/status/1110334823170752513 …

Mori @moritheilWhile this is not a bad take, the idea that rights exist in and of themselves and are not simply chosen word dressing for superior force is an extremely unhealthy way to think about how the world operates.

Whatever you think of current conditions, they were treated poorly by the state and by society within living memory.

Facts. I'm saying, perhaps the expectation that they would have been treated well is itself flawed.

Their anger is entirely understandable... But I'm not sure I can get behind the idea of "legitimate" beef. The difference between "legitimate" and "illegitimate" claims is historically just force of arms.

Being angry is not about being justified to some external authority: it's about being angry. And you either have the power to act on your anger and deal with the consequences, or you do not. Next to that, what is legitimacy? Just another post-hoc rationalization.

When I say 'legitimate' I mean 'I say it's legitimate'. I'm the authority.
