What do you think of all of the pretentious white SJW types "white knighting for the 'poor inferior blacks'"?

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

You know, they're full fledged human beings that don't need these SJWs to swoop in to save them. Black people can stand up for themselves.

But these pretentious pricks insist on obnoxiously virtue signaling all over the place.

Because, you know obviously thinking that the plight of an oppressed group is a cause worth fighting for automatically implies that you think they can't stand up for themselves:

United States Colored Troops in action

OK, all the time when I try to bring up issues disproportionately impacting minority communities in the US, there are always a bunch of reactionary dipshits accusing me of the "soft bigotry of low expectations" and that I'm the "real racist" for thinking "black people need me to stand up for them instead of standing up for themselves". I'm sorry, injustice is injustice and the more people who stand against it (no matter what race they are) the sooner it tends to end. Also, I thought the anti-SJWs were supposed to be the ones against *ahem "identity politics".

But because all of these anti-SJW types incessantly complain about how BLM only cares about black lives, I'll toss you a bone:

John Brown

Abraham Lincoln

Michael Schwerner

John Lennon

Heather Heyer

1. I would say perhaps you might want to forego the whole weird concept of "oppressed" people. Maybe just focus on what is fair for everyone "Black" people, American Indians, etc. are not "oppressed" individually. Racism is a bit more complicated than that.

2. I think you are taking anti-SJWs too seriously. They don't have an argument. They just have bs. They will use any warped reasoning, backwards logic or insane argument to win the debate. They are like a roach probing your defense looking for a way in. Because we all know they are the ones who are racially identified. It is their system. That's why you literally have to be insane to be a racist. So take their criticism and throw that in the garbage. They want the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.

3. In my experience, I have met SJWs who go overboard. That's one of the reasons why I became a Republican in the first place. I saw the dems as having too many SJWs who were simply ineffective. And I wanted progress. I will never understand why most SJWs don't focus on the basics. BLM says, we need better police protection. SJWs then claim that "White" people can't play "Black" roles in entertainment. We never asked for that. We never cared about that. Why can't we address the initial problem? Why do so many SJWs have to go sideways?

4. Then there is the obvious. Racism is not purely about oppression of "Black" people. Truthfully it is about the oppression of us all. Race is simply the most effective method. That's why it is so important that these "White" knights use their brains when talking about these complex issues. Many "White" people face similar issues of police violence and brutality. They face the same issues with health care. Right now, they experience the same problems with our economy. So, stop defining what issues "Black" people supposedly have. And listen to them. But beyond that, listen to American Indians, to Asians, to Latinos (if they claim they have issues), but especially listen to "White" people. People like Laney Sweet, the wife of Daniel Shaver. He was murdered by the Mesa police department. But BLM can't give her any voice. "Black" people. . . ain't "White". We can't define issues for the "White" community. But you can. You can talk about the "White" folks who advocate for the same changes non-"White" people are asking for!!!

[The_unknown_memer]

I never heard Daniel shavers before

[RolandCuthbert]

That’s interesting. I became aware BLM at GaG. There were so many threads talking about it here. I was accused of being apart of the organization. The funny thing is I would have gone so far as to say I was anti-BLM at first because of this forum. So I went out and educated myself. Now I support the movement. Through that movement I became aware of names like Daniel Shaver, Justine Damon, etc.

[The_unknown_memer]

I mostly became a BLM supporter through quora

[RolandCuthbert]

@The_unknown_memer Wow. Really? That's interesting.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

I think SJWs are taken way to seriously even though they're dumb AF. The first part was a parody of people who do take SJWs way to seriously (and label everyone that they don't agree with an "SJW").

[RolandCuthbert]

@Ad_Quid_Orator Oh sorry. I get it now.

Thanks for that.

The conversation has gotten to be so silly. It is basically pointless because there is no agreed upon framework.

[Tea-Spaghetti]

I don't know the significance of all the people you posted afterward but I don't like SJWs most of the time

[Tea-Spaghetti]

Wow thank you

[Ivory_Princess]

not sure what your question is about. I'm not sure you can use the union army as an example of fighting for black Americans due to how black Americans were treated in the Union army as well as how black people were treated post civil war. The civil war is painted as a war to free black slaves when that is simply not true, it was fought to stop the southern States breaking away from the union and because slavery was sniffling growth and progress in the united states.

[Jackblue]

The south would not have been trying to break away if the north hadn't been banning slavery in the west, protecting violent abolitionists, and in some cases giving black people the right to vote. Union soldiers fought and died while singing John Brown's body and other anti-slavery songs. Black soldiers were initially paid less but eventually got equal pay. White soldiers may not have always gotten along with black troops, but if you had to endure the hardships civil war soldiers did while fighting people who were often friends and relatives you might say things you didn't mean. The north tried to give black people equal rights after the war with the various amendments, and initially the south seemed to be cooperating, inevitably reconstruction became unpopular even to some extent among blacks. They couldn't keep soldiers there forever.

[chapawapa]

It depends. Some are intelligent enough not to be annoying. Others fail to see beyond their agenda... Like explaining my own culture and community to me... 🙄

[Jackblue]

You may be surprised to hear this, but I don't hate you. I think you are misguided, but you and other white liberals are noble in a way. You work hard for people of color and never expect any gratitude in return. Some non-whites no doubt thank you, but I am sure the ones marching in the street tell you you are whitewashing their movement or that you owe them your support and what you do will never be enough. And likewise it says something that nowadays white conservatives turn their wrath on you more than radicals of color. White culture is based on reflection and criticism and that is how we created most of the modern world and why we show so much more compassion to other peoples than they ever have for us. The moors, mongols, ottomans, and others only started respecting us when they got their butts kicked. I do not say this because I hate people of color, but I think that it is time for them to give the identity politics part of their cultures, for it is the same tribalism that their ancestors had when they committed many atrocities.

[joeldalton]

It was very noble of Chelsea Handler to tell fiddy how he should act. The white saviors swoop in again.

[nerdybutlazy]

I'm so confused

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

The question title and the first bit are being satirical.

[nerdybutlazy]

So but I'm not America what's a SJW

[Tea-Spaghetti]

Social Justice Warrior. Someone who always feels like they need to stand up for a disenfranchised portion of society even when it was not invited.

[goaded]

Social Justice Warrior.

[Tea-Spaghetti]

Hi I wrote this to @Iceseeyou25 "If you make everything about race you will make people hate just saying lady, just learn to celebrate the good instead of always saying "woe is me" honestly it's annoying af" and then she blocked me? She made two questions titled "Why does the world hate black women?" "Why does the world hate black men?" just to prove that black women are hated by the world? She even admitted she made the second question just to prove her point? Like how pity-asking can a person get right? Weird.

[nerdybutlazy]

@Tea-Spaghetti what does that have to do with this?

[Tea-Spaghetti]

Sorry I realized I should have messaged you privately my apologies.

[AcadiaJ]

They are brainwashed
