Opinion of quote: "You're white, it doesn't affect you."

[Suburbia]

What is your opinion of the quote that goes around in circles these days, "Yeah, you don't watch the news or vote or listen because you're white. It doesn't affect you. You're privileged". "Listen". "Be aware".

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Sometimes it's true and sometimes it's not, depending on the issue being discussed. When said about the news and politics in general, though, it's obviously false.

You can't say that to Daniel Shaver's family. Shaver went through what Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Alton Sterling went through.

Shaver is white.

But when white people, particularly white wealthy women like Kate Upton criticized the national anthem kneeling in 2016, she was called out for her white privilege.

Politically it's just like saying "If you are white, f**k you, your opinion doesn't matter."

[Goldwater]

Annoying and unhelpful.

[HillGoose]

Horrible quote.

Something affects you when you let it affect you. It doesn't matter if you're white or black or green or purple. Keeping a clear, driven, and solution oriented head space is the most important thing to do when confronted with an issue.

So basically what 90% of modern white Leftists feel and think about other whites, basically.

Nice strawman. I'm a pretty far-left white guy and most of my friends are leftists too, and none of us think the opinion of a white person doesn't matter because of their race. now when it comes to issues that only effect persons of color, clearly a white person's opinion on that issue doesn't really matter as they can't possibly understand it in the same way a non white person would.

Anyone else see the contradiction?

It's not. just like I don't think the opinions of billionaires mean anything when it comes to whether they should be paying higher taxes or not, yet their opinions on other issues can still be valid.

yeah, like how a person without a uterus shouldn't get to have an opinion on abortion.  Now if that person without a uterus wants to fight a woman in UFC, that's fine, better somehow we'll even cheer her on and give feminists sh**t that dare to complain.

Abortion can effect men too (particularly the father if he's still around), so that comparison isn't really accurate.

Also, what is your point with the UFC thing? I have no problem at all with female boxers beating the crap out of/getting the crap beat out of them of/by male boxers.

So I guess you’re okay with men hitting women then?

I don't even know what the intended application is here? Are white people now allowed to care about things that don't effect them or do they need to to show how "woke" they are or whatever? It's just an attempt to stoke white guilt.
