A REBUT TO WHINING ‘FELLOW’ PALE MALES
This was originally a reply to another pale male who is whining about how ‘oppressed’ he is now that our society is trying to re-calibrate itself to have no ‘default setting’ for race, ethnicity, faith or sexual orientation.
How true it is, that to those who have known privilege (and not known it especially? Not sure about that; would appreciate feedback on that point) equality can feel like oppression!
I don’t know if anyone’s noticed this, but a fair number of such whiners now seem to have family names which tend to point to their folks coming here in the last great immigrant tide, the one between 1890 and 1920.
Here it is.
There’s a difference between using an ‘expression of culture’ with proper credit to the originators and claiming it as one’s own. D**os like you (like a bit of your own toxin?) seem especially prone to that; an inheritance from the ‘newble’ Romans maybe?
And for what do we, who may be the largest-scale thieves the world has yet seen, deserve ‘reparations’?! Not that others wouldn’t do the same thing if given the chance; we just had more chances, some of which we made. And give up worrying about being a Good Person (THAT seeps through your scribbling SO bad!) and remember what Jesus Himself said when addressed as ‘Good Master’. Are you better than he?!
If you will whine about the System not giving YOU, (or me, for that matter) any power so you have to take being called a D**o or whatever in…
