@freedoms411@aNerdskull I went pretty deep in your timeline, and not saying you didn't, but if you did, it wasn't many tweets or loud or sustained. My only hope is you will continue to speak against the president re this insanely BS policy. Its opposition to free speech from the highest office.
Promoting the myth of white innocence is dangerous. White people knew slavery was wrong. They actively refused to listen to the people they held in bondage.
@XenonHMW@sammybaby@jackradley12 @MasterMorgan317 @ZachRippett@JVaghyJones Sad you feel talking was a mistkae since the only way to treat those problems is through more in depth and nuanced conversation, but I hope you have a good day too.
@XenonHMW@sammybaby@jackradley12 @MasterMorgan317 @ZachRippett@JVaghyJones I'm going to say something you probably find controversial but I think Trump is to white folks what respectability politics is to black folks. A weapon to use against each other for rage against a capitalist system that's f****** us all.
@XenonHMW@sammybaby@jackradley12 @MasterMorgan317 @ZachRippett@JVaghyJones That was my argument about the original point, Trump is never the point, just the weapon for a laundry list of grievances. You were the one who made it about attacking Trump supporters as a group when no group was mentioned...
@XenonHMW@jackradley12 @MasterMorgan317 @ZachRippett@JVaghyJones I don't hate anyone so this doesn't apply to me. There are behaviors I find abhorrent, but I don't believe anyone is beyond redemption. My problem with the Trump shirt to dying Dad visit IS the method of dealing with anger, as a flawed and meaningless one of empty rage.
@BenitoTheMuffin@XenonHMW@jackradley12 @MasterMorgan317 @ZachRippett@JVaghyJones Unless you are from California, I'm a lady and should be addressed as MA'AM. Also, if you agree with him, defend the idea, everyone is open to criticism. I'd defer if I was making a claim about black male experiences but I'm not so...
@XenonHMW@jackradley12 @MasterMorgan317 @ZachRippett@JVaghyJones That's probably more a factor of who you follow than any reality, but sure, I can buy that. And I agree, I think it's difficult to solve an issue when l general grievances have turned into just "fuck everything" rage. Whatever political beliefs people have.
@XenonHMW@jackradley12 @MasterMorgan317 @ZachRippett@JVaghyJones But isn't it interesting that Trump is the vehicle for that frustration. Again, that's the interesting point here. We all have grievances. This man, as with MANY men have decided to use Trump as their weapon in both personal and political grievances.
@XenonHMW@jackradley12 @MasterMorgan317 @ZachRippett@JVaghyJones I think the point he's making, that you are missing is that a lot of Trump support is just about a middle finger to whomever they are annoyed/pissed at. It's not about a specific policy or belief or value, it's about telling people, fuck you I'm pissed.
