In a truly equitable society such arguments would be being made in better faith. But we don't live in that reality. We live in a reality where people are being oppressed because of their skin, their sexuality, their gender, their sex, their bank balance, etc so this is bad faith.

And because of this them saying we suck is different than us saying they suck. It just is.

I, we, aren't interested in joining you in treating an unbalanced scale as if it's balanced. I, we, are also not joining you in this fantasy land where everything is equal. It's *not*. This is reality. It's not equal & we can't treat it like it is. We need to balance the scalespic.twitter.com/UPZK4IOnX7

You assume wrong. Allow me to lay it out for you bluntly: Those of us who are holding the wealthy elite, the ruling class, up under crushing pillars of debt should stop punching each other up, down, in, or any other which way & start punching up at them together.

*You're* the one digging the hole that's putting your eyes behind the fence. Not me, not her, not anyone else. Those on the other side of the scale aren't taking anything from you they just want the same things. Share.

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.

Look, I've got other shit to do today & you're still playing make believe so I'm ending it here on my end but if you're offended by marginalized folks saying white people suck then just stop being the punchline. Stop sucking. Be the exception. It's really that easy.
