Most Racism is Directed at Straight Black Men

I really try. All the lines are really thin, a lot of the time it doesn't mean you had a negative thought at all. Its a really complex issue and I have done some research but I'm not a published author or anything. The problem is huge and it often ends up accidentally or intentionaly bleeding into other places or ends up getting defeated by issues that are adjacent. I'm not going to claim the class war hasn't been real since day one but there where definitely times when it was nobody's top issue. I see a lot of people post variations of "They keep us stuck in culture wars so we won't fight the class war". Problem being as far as important issues the various cultures wars are longer issues. History has shown that if a minority group drops their issues to help lets be frank. Whites. Solve what is a collective issue they are absolutely not going to pay it back. They will without missing a step go back. Makes trust hard.

I’m not woke, I have never been asleep. As a child a third of my class was Jewish. The only time the rest of us saw them as different was when they would get off for school for Jewish Holidays and Christian Holiday. My first black classmates were in 8 grade and we got along great. At college my values were developed and I essentially am the person I was then, with further development or course
I’ve been an advocate and at times an activist for social justice issues most of my life.
I work a few hours a week as a consultant to a department store chair trying to make a profit while losing so much shortage. That is a story for another day.
What I did witness several times was SOME Black American berating an employee and accuse them of racism when there was no evidence of any racial. The customer didn’t like what they head and played the race card. That bothers me because it cheapins the real race card when it should be used. I like the diveristy of people.There is always something to learn and appreciate.

Seriously for about half the members of this board I f-cking hate you for two reasons. I'm gonna have to find a new board in a few years when you guys start dying. Somehow I'm STILL one of the younger members on this fucking board and I've been here since the early 2000s FACK.

On subject it wasn't a third of my class that was Jewish but I was in school MUCH MUCH later than you. We had a fair amount. The only time we saw them as different and I'm not sure how many of us even realized they were different or would have noticed. I was in a school that had enough of a Jewish population that were students and faculty that I think I was in 2nd grade when the schools just said 'Fuck this. These are school holidays.' Maybe a little older. Otherwise it was just a random day where we watched Charlotte's Web. I probably STILL know that fucking movie word for word. We all went to the gym or auditorium and a few teachers babysat us, recess was recess and lunch got doubled to 30 minutes and 1 hour. Since teachers aren't allowed to talk religion to the students it was just rando day if you didn't already know. Though one teacher quietly got around not speaking about religion by teaching about dredels and matza, apples and honey as history. I'd say in no world do kids complain about playing with a top and eating apples and honey to mom but some where some kid probably did. More likely though some kid was hyped as hell about how great the day was but Mommy and Daddy were devout Christians or Muslims (okay that's unrealistic in the US) and didn't want their children being taught devil worship. But that's just stupid people for you and you can't really fix it.
