Re: 129
I'm sorry for generalizing like that; you're right, it doesn't help and it's not very mature.
I just...(and I'm really not trying to excuse myself) I wanted to make the point that when people are talking about something that directly affects them in a negative way (such as prejudice), other people (especially the ones who belong to the group that take part in the discrimination) really shouldn't come in and start dismissing their concerns/opinions just because they do not believe it is something that deserves attention/is unimportant/whatever.
You are right, the sarcasm/name calling doesn't help, and I let my emotions rule for a moment, but I really do believe that people should talk about this. From all sides. And no, people shouldn't be forced to participate in something that makes them uncomfortable/hurt/etc. (even, in this case, white people.) However, not having to deal with it is a privilege that, unfortunately, white people usually posses. Because they can always sign off and go back to their real life and be unaffected. But for everyone else, they usually can't.
Err, I also apologize if I gave the impression of someone that would jump down your throat for calling me out on my own flaws. I try to welcome criticism. I take it as an educational experience (after sobbing into my pillow for a half hour. Just kidding.)
For the record, I am white. I usually am not a big participator in online discussions and throughout most of racefail, I have hung back and watched. I'm kind of intimidated easily in RL. :/ Umm, but it's opinions like the OPs that generate the strongest reaction from myself. Mainly because it is the people who share those opinions (which are usually white) that keep racefail keep going.
Err, hopefully this didn't come out as horrible as it sounds to myself. D:
