      Exactly, I fought for LGBT+ equality for years and continue to do so for other countries at the moment and I've been asked many times if I'm gay, because people assume you have to be in that group to care

      Great. And still, all the pushback you've encountered here is valid and important. You seem to want validation for the good things white men have participated in without accepting any responsibility for the bad. That's not how it works.

      We don't (or shouldn't) do the work to get pats on the back. We should do it because we're the ones with the privilege required to solve the problem. And because people with that same privilege caused the problem in the first place.

      And if generalizatons about white ppl hurt our feelings, we should remember that our privilege means all the generalizations in the world don't cost us a thing. We've never been in danger of losing rights because of our race in this country — and we're the only ones.

      Same for straight people, and cis-male people. And for that reason, because we're unique in that way, it's selfish and damaging when we derail a PoC's point by making it about our hurt feelings.

      It's great that you fight for civil rights. And you — and I, and all of us — have lots more challenging, internal work to do to become the allies we need to be if we're going to achieve what we say we want. These conversations are hard, but this is how we grow.

      I appreciate that. Yes we do. And sometimes that means seeing where we can agree even if there are other points on which we disagree. There is too much at stake right now.

      And I appreciate that. I just think when a white man says 'let's see how you like it when we stop helping' because he's not getting enough credit for, say, ending slavery... the onus for 'seeing where we can agree' should be largely on him.

      No it isn't. As long as you recognize that making generalizations about white people isn't racism. Here's why. https://hellogiggles.com/news/racism-against-white-people-doesnt-exist-in-america-and-heres-why-it-never-will/ …

          I was quoting Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. So there's that.
