[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6869197, member: 4937"] Ok. But then if that is how you feel about 'what-abouting' this sort of thing, why did you go from there to here: Isn't that just as much 'what-abouting'? I don't agree with your arguments about vaguely defined privilege and how it's different depending on what your skin color is. That's just more giving excuses; the very thing you say you are against. You getting beat up unjustly by a gang of black girls looking for someone white to hit; sounds to me like injustice. You don't get a victim pass to do that regardless of what made you angry. I'm not going to go into the details and pulling more anecdotes out to keep countering your examples of what does or doesn't happen out there. More things are out there than exist in your view of the world. I'm not going to go there though because it's not about who gets the most victim cards to play to excuse their anger. It's about the fact that people treat each other poorly, and we need to not be a part of that. It's about being the person that says, "You know, because I've known what it is to be treated unjustly, I'm not going to treat you that way." [/QUOTE]
