Right. So now we are getting into what is called ‘intersectionality’. That’s where you look at all the different factors such as gender, race, sexuality, etc. Yes, some black people are going to have more privalage than some white people. We have to take all of this into account. Like I said, it really isn’t so black and white.
Right, and now I roll my eyes because I went to a rich liberal arts school full of people who lectured everyone about such terms, and then tried to volunteer or do non-profit work, and got so mad and sad they couldn't save the world, and then got a job at daddy's law firm for 200K a year because life with a bag is a lot easier than trying to liberate people from the oppression of their... life circumstances.
How privileged are you? Have you assessed yourself and given yourself a nice little intersectional score of privilege? Or are you perpetually underprivledged?
Funny thing about everyone I know who uses the term intersectionality... they never identity as privileged, they always identify as underprivileged. Especially if they were born into millions of dollars... weird how that happens?
Funny how all the immigrant and poor kids at my school... didn't study that stuff... they had to get jobs and pay bills, which, as I understand from many things I've seen on here and social media 'is oppression'.
God you are so close.
i know. i can't ever understand. my skin is white therefore I just can't help going around oppressing other people.
if I truly understood my privileged, I'd just kill myself so I stop oppressing everyone, but only if I donate all my assets to some random poor black immigrant woman who is trans, mentally ill, and physically disabled, right? gotta maximize those intersectionality underprilvedged points to offset my privileged points!
FWIW I live in a city where people talk about stupid shit like this all day. But I don't ever seem them giving up their million dollar homes and Teslas to poor black folks. I wonder why that is. Almost as if their conservations about this are more about status signalling to each other more than anything else...
Okay. Maybe you aren’t as close as I thought.
Do not waste your breath on that one. He’s the single most obnoxious person I’ve seen on Lemmy.
