Way to put words in everyones mouth. The people who don't see no sense in this is that it ignores reality and allows peoples beliefs to take reign over the reality of the matter and other people are forced to play along in their fantasy. It can easily be abused for say a white student to identify as black and get into college with a far higher probability than students who worked harder him or her. People like you who label everyone racist just because they disagree with a racial issue are like sheep, you are playing into exactly the role the government wants you to. Also, what the fuck does Black Panther have to do with any of this? Are you just looking to provoke and cause an argument for the sake of it or something? You are born the way you are born and just because you say otherwise doesn't change the reality of it, it's not racist to call a white man who identifies as black, as he is, a white man. |
People like me. Okay buddy. I already posted a comment explaining how this makes sense for a friend of mine who is mixed race. I will let him know that you have unilaterally decided that he is a system abuser. While I understand that their are nuts out there, I don't buy the 'the sky is falling' act. While I do disagree with your assessment, I didn't call you a racist. I have no problem identify them, and although I didn't think you were one at first, you are getting there buddy by bringing up something no one accused you of. Thats a sign.
I saw the Black Panther, liked it and posted about it. You are now afraid that I was trying to provoke you? Stop being stupid. I said it because it was on my mind and I'm sorry I didn't get your permission first. Fortunately, I'm not a scared little bitch and I know I can think without you defining my thoughts. Its a really good movie and I want to see it again. I might start a post on it.
My friend was born the way he was born and I responded with him in mind. Get the fuck off my case and engage me in a way that shows that you actually read my comment. I made the mistake yesterday by not reading everyone's posts and doing a rough guess on their last posts. I apologized for that. But not you. Black Panther was a great movie.
I also insinuated that people my entire life have tried to tell me that I am Asian/Indian when I call myself black. I am not going to let them tell me what I am. You aren't that powerful. You can't control the way I see myself. However, if I did identify at Indian, I should have the right to mark that as my race. For most people it is cut and dry. In reality, there are 7 billion people. Those makeups can't be encapsulated into a simple 5 race survey in the first place so granting people the option to define themselves (as long as they are not flat out lying) is more than okay.
I get your 'concern', I just think its over blown. Everyone isn't out to get you. There isn't a huge group of white men out there trying to take advantage of this. Fears inside of your head can warp your perspective. Stop tying to create victims out of this.
