You can phrase it any way you like. It always sounds like rationalizing not wanting to hear of someone's suffering. Period.

Just because you know one person with a broken hand and someone else with a broken hand *and* a broken leg doesn't mean the former's hand is any less broken or in need of repair. Maybe he doesn't need help as urgently--but he still needs help.

I have seen Asians complain about Blacks not paying attention to other minorities' suffering (and taking attention away from other minorities' suffering.)

I'm not saying I agree with it, just that I've seen it happen-- and the person complaining may not actually be white.

[(Anonymous)]

Away? What are we? Things that compete for 'white' attention?

It doesn't even matter if they say they suffer more or whatever. That isn't even the problem.

Now, white people who focus on POC "whining"...

[ryuutchi.livejournal.com]

It's not like I think it's a zero-sum game.

All I was trying to say is that White people aren't the only ones who talk like that.

[(Anonymous)]

They aren't the only ones, but they are the most powerful/privileged. It's too easy for them to say 'POC ARE RACIST TOO' because that way they can turn the tables towards a racism that has zero influence in POC's lives. It's not like other minorities control society.

So what if Blacks pay attention to the suffering of other groups or not. It's not the Blacks who are in a position to do anything about it. Black people are completely aware of the suffering of other groups, but in their case it's strictly academic; a personal choice. At the end of the day, each group can only tell their own story, and wouldn't presume--and shouldn't presume--to tell the story of another group. Other groups can certainly speak for themselves.

And if it appears to you that Blacks have "too" much to say, blame the history, not its people. Blacks have been here *centuries* longer and spent most of that time persecuted most especially and publicly and let's not forget legally, as if it was the only way the country could function.

In other words, don't take it personal if hearing about the suffering of other groups is a luxury some Blacks cannot afford. That's just reality.

And more Blacks would sympathize with the other nationalities suffering American racism if some of these groups weren't used as further tools of racist persecution against them (aka who owns *your* neighborhood stores).

Erh. I wasn't complaining? Just making a note that someone doesn't have to be white in order to say something like what people were saying.
