ONCE AGAIN, treating statements by marginalized people about privileged people as the exact same as statements by privileged people about marginalized people is 1 of the ways privileged people continue to accrue & secure privilege. It's not equal the privileged have an advantage.

They're venting their frustrations at your privilege that is being leveraged by you & others (amongst other factors) to keep them marginalized. It's not really about you. & when they say we suck they're really saying this sucks. But when we say they suck we're saying they suck.

Specifically we're saying their fight for equality sucks and we're using our stereotypes, misconceptions, and jokes about them to excuse our treatment of them and reinforce their, and our, position. Because, like it or not, there is a hierarchy and we should fix that.
