I'm not American and really have no frame of reference for American race relations past some stuff in movies or on TV, but I'd argue that everyone ought to be equal and treat each other with respect.

I must be, do you mind explaining the difference? I feel like I am missing something, since to my view, saying "White people are scum" or "Black people are scum" are both equally bad and undesirable.

That's a fair and reasonable explanation, thank you. By and in large most people commenting on this seem to be of that viewpoint, so I'll take that as the majority view here on Raddle.

There's a couple others, but I'm not familiar enough with this site yet to know if I'm just being trolled by facist sockpuppets or if some people just really think racism is okay against specific groups.

So long as it was consensually obtained, your kinks aren't my business.

I completely agree with your points, but where I disagree is where I'm saying derogatory things about a person based on general shouldn't be something that we aim for, and it certainly isn't 'power bring broken and others rising to your level'.

It's doing the same thing that you are fighting against, to someone else. I just don't understand why that would be supported.

It wasn't that specific comment, but another one saying the exact same thing. Saying men or women are inherently 'fragile' is stereotyped and demeaning to either group.

Well, matriarchy wasn't on my mind specifically. More like, saying derogatory things about anyone based on race/gender/orientation is bad, and shouldn't be done either way. Patriarchy oppressing women is a wrong that needs to be righted, but the correction of that wrong isn't to then turn around and demean men. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that.

No matter what links you post, racism is still bad, regardless of what race it is against. There's no argument that can be used to say racism is okay against a specific group. Oppressing anyone is an evil.

Racism is racism, regardless of who it is directed at. I'm not sure what you're trying to promote or what point you're trying to make here.

No one should oppress anyone else. No Gods, no Kings. Racism is oppression and so is equally bad, regardless of who it is directed at.

I don't disagree with anger. I disagree with hate. There is a distinction. Posting a meme about 'gaslighting' to a comment saying no one should be oppressing anyone else is bloody weird, mate.

Okay, I can understand that perspective, and I'll take it in that light. I will admit I do have worry that such vehement rhetoric can easily give birth to actual hate, but I will do my best to not judge and keep an open mind about it.

I can understand that, maybe I'm just being too sensitive or something, I just felt really unsure of how to react to a post I saw this morning that said "men = fragility" or something like that and found it off-putting to be judged just by my gender (and again, I 100% appreciate the irony given patriarchal oppression of women, but I don't think the solution is to flip it around and just swap oppressors).
