NO. im tired of excuses and scapegoats and blah and blah

If you are so tired then don't do it. You have internal issues that you need to work through if you are feeling guilty about having to constantly be politically correct all the time. I don't think you understand that you will always be able to get further in life with minimal effort just for being a straight white male but it's fine if you want to ignore that fact and try to turn it around to black people not taking responsibility/ownership in their life.

The problem is not pretending like our personal experiences don't shape our perspectives and world view. The problem is thinking that our own personal experiences apply the same way for everything as a blanket statement. You take your own experiences and want to generalize and stereotype every single thing because of it and that's the issue. Not thinking outside of your little box/world.

All of this is just as bad as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton decided to speak up on behalf of the black community with their sweeping generalizations. Every time I hear one of those bastards say something I'm like you don't speak for me. I have my own experiences that are different from what you are saying and what they are saying doesn't apply to every black person.

feminists want to put others in no-win situations, so no matter what they can claim oppression or sexism or whatever other buzz word that is hip at the time. feminists can blow it out their ass :ar15:

I don't think you fully comprehended that article. You just skimmed it and because it looked like feminist crap to you. You didn't pay attention to anything that was said in the article.
Their white friends introduce them to other black people just because they happen to share the same skin color. They have NO idea if they have similar interests. They are just being racist and assuming well "hey you are black just like that other couple I'm pretty sure you two have similar interests that most black people have."
