@dadoctaevil @StubbornAmoeba @spiderman20058 @getmoneyreese7 Point being, black people are measurably doing better.

Is it enough to say all things are equal? No. Not even close.

it is better tho, and a reduction in discrimination is certainly one of the factors that allows that to be true.

@dadoctaevil @StubbornAmoeba @spiderman20058 @getmoneyreese7 While an 11% jump in financial success compared to white households isn’t a lot, I’d say it’s definitely an indicator of improved conditions.

The current difference is explained by intergenerational wealth, community opportunity, and systemic injustice btw.

@StubbornAmoeba @spiderman20058 @getmoneyreese7 Like what? Am I supposed to argue for racial discrimination just to piss off a dead guy?

Frankly That’d be stupid. I can acknowledge the civil rights act of 1964 was a good piece of legislation, and say “fuck that guy” simultaneously.

@StubbornAmoeba @spiderman20058 @getmoneyreese7 Lyndon B Johnson was a white guy from the Jim Crow South, and lived in close proximity to a conservative Democrat party prior to the southern strategy.

I have no doubt that he was racist to some extent.

What does that have to do with anti-discrimination laws being a good thing?

@jet6424 @screaminggmel @ItsNameJr Before you ask:

No you can’t have more pixels. This is the first image on Google, and I clicked “screenshot” and posted it, be grateful. lol

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@mochaewn @ijimaia That’s probably a good thing. Lol

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion I definately agree with that.

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion I should say…. I don’t think you’re progressive outside of gay marriage.

You seem to be pretty progressive on that front.

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion In regard to gender, the conservative position is support for a nuclear family, believing it to be essential for social cohesion.

If you don’t hold that position, I think there’s a degree of mis-labeling happening.

(Not that it particularly matters one way or the other)

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion Which to be fair…. Maybe being Aromantic is a relevant detail in context, it’s just not always necessary.

Sometimes the most expedient thing is to just say “I’m gay”

Which is why I don’t feel the need to nitpick usually.

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion I tend to think the simplest term that communicates the closest approximate idea is usually best linguistically.

Like someone could say: “I’m an aromantic, sapphic-dominant, pansexual, demi-gender, woman”

Or they could just say “I’m a lesbian” lol

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion Basically within conservative homophobia is an idea that “real men don’t date men”

That is a strict sex based social law they seek to enforce, and it is part of a larger definition of what a man is and/or can’t be in a social context.

Is this kinda making sense?

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion Conservative gender ideology is pro-conformity to an established role, as a point of enforced behavior

Progressive/LGBT gender ideology is opposed to conformity as a standard of behavior.

Basically one says “you must behave in this strict way”

And the other responds: “no”

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion Don’t get me wrong, I tend to support that idea,

But I’d be saying that even if I held your position instead of my own.

[💖💛💙North @NLaughingfox]

@crwarmuth44 @SianHerfield @BastetsPassion You might disagree with that as a strategy for attaining political change,

So it’s worth saying I don’t even mean that as strictly prescriptive, I think it is descriptive of a lot of rhetoric/ attitudes within the LGBT community.
