It's ignorance beyond compare and shows a complete lack of empathy to act like white privilege doesn't exist and it's hilariously privileged in itself to deny that your own privilege exists.

Fact, being born white in most places in the west will lead to an easier life than a non-white person in the same situation. Especially in America. You can deny it, you can pretend otherwise but delusion doesn't change the facts.

Yes I kind of agree, it is a lot lot lot about class. You said it yourself, 70% of the people you grew up with were black. Black people are disproportionally affected by class struggles and poverty. That isn’t to say that white people arent, economical class as an axis of oppression can affect anyone and it’s valid to discuss it, but simply bringing up class struggle to shut down discussion about racism doesn’t seem very fair. I’m empathetic to the fact that you grew up as someone who was poor and it was very ****ing hard, so why can’t you be empathetic towards people who deal with racism? Why do you feel the need to try and shut down or undermine these discussions?

The whole 'and what are you doing' argument is truly weak cop out way of devaluing someone's views without putting the effort in to form a cohesive counter argument.

What people do or don't do is irrelevant to the conversation and to use that line to try to shut down opinions just shows a complete lack of wit and intellect from those that rely on such lines in arguments.

How long do you have to have lived somewhere to be classed as indigenous?... I hear arguments in support of ' indigenous' people's. Is there a sliding scale of people afforded more rights based on their traceable heritage?

No you don't ... you have no rights to interfere with anyone's right to protest.

You can sit in your prius and winge like your atypical mail reading gammon or karen. But you have no right to prohibit any other citizen excersising their real democratic right.

as usual you are talking rubbish. It is my democratic right to raise concerns that I may have. Maybe it doesn't fit into your authoritarian ideal, but too bad

White people will always find an excuse to look down on black people, whenever they speak up about the racism they face, they’re told to turn the other cheek, whenever they talk about the injustices they face they’re told to do as their told and get on with it, they’re dictated to about how they can protest, they protest peacefully and they’re called dividers, there will never be a situation good enough for white people to feel comfortable with black people asserting themselves and their rights and it’s a damn shame

You can though Nicky and you are.

With what you support and say you support.
You are making your contribution.

Not everyone can be high profile, even by your sharing of your knowledge, experiences and your views on things on here.
You are reaching others.

Never worry about teaching those who'd not be interested in your view or thinking.
If you can even just help to have one other person to re think their positions on issues.

Your striving and your hope for a better World, may then have someone else thinking like you on any said issue.

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

1 Corinthians 4:7

For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

You're right there - we do live in an age of equality, but some people still carp on about how "oppressed" they are.

Spot on.
It screams of wanting to victimise yourself and being too arrogant to believe other people have had it harder than you.
