[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6870687, member: 7006"] Different standards because I've seen ample evidence for women, people of color, homosexual, and trans people getting shafted by straight, white, males. So my burden of proof has already been reached. All these people DO get crapped upon, and one only needs to actually keep their eyes and ears open to see what is going on. The stuff in North Carolina right now? Only the latest example of a minority group getting crapped on again. As above... I've already seen and heard plenty to know that all these groups aren't just "making stuff up" where I need to remain "skeptical". I don't need to be "skeptical" anymore. It's been proven to me time and time again to my satisfaction. If YOU still don't believe it... hey, knock yourself out. But there are people out there who are still "skeptical" that the world is round and that we've landed on the moon, so while skepticism has its place... at some point you need to accept the preponderance of evidence. And if you're not going to, then I'm going to look upon you like you're a fool not worth listening to. And on top of that... what exactly is it about straight white guys that you want to defend them so much? What's so great about them? Hell, I'm ONE of them, and I can tell you that I think a good percentage of us SUCK. Especially when we deal with women, children, people of color, homosexuals, transgender etc. etc. I've yet to see what so great about us that I need to start in a place of "Well, you gotta prove beyond a shadow of a doubt what you're saying about the straight white guys before I'm willing to accept they've done anything wrong." I've READ U.S. HISTORY. I KNOW the kind of crap we've done. It's been fairly obvious to me the kind of crap we've pulled for centuries. So no... I'm willing to give every other group the benefit of the doubt BEFORE I give it to the straight white guy. Because it's been shown pretty conclusively over the history of this country that where there's smoke... there's a fricking inferno. [/QUOTE]
