DP. I don't believe it. Being truly anti-racist requires honesty. You did not exist outside of culture.[/quote]

Yeah, everyone who didn't act like you is a liar. [/quote]

Nah - just not self aware. [/quote]

I guess you feel better about bigotry if you convince yourself it was the norm. The only delusional person here is the one who thinks "everyone" acted like that. [/quote]

DP. You are the most dangerous because you maintain your ignorance. I do not believe there is a single adult today who grew up in the US who did not say, participate in, watch, read, or otherwise contribute to a culture of white supremacy, systemic misogyny, racism, ableism, or homophobia. It permeated (and still permeates) the culture. You are excusing yourself because you didn't say exactly what OP did. But at least OP is being honest with himself while you aren't.[/quote]

Bold of you to say that POC contribute to white supremacy. Really, you guys are reaching far to make yourselves feel better. [/quote]

OR. I said OR. God, you can't even read. No wonder you think you are perfect.[/quote]

Where did I say I was perfect? No need to call me God.

It's amazing how angry you're getting because I simply pointed out that not everyone behaved like you. [/quote]

You called yourself perfect by saying you didn't act like OP. And while you may not have done exactly what OP did, I am 100% certain you were an active participant in a culture of bigotry, racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, or ableism. You behaved like OP at some point, you just can't admit it for ego reasons.

I never said anything like OP either that I remember, because what OP described was not okay in my family. But unlike you, I know I [I]must[/I] have said something hurtful to someone, or benefitted somehow by the power structures in place, because that was what existed at the time and I was part of US culture at the time. You are being blind in your insistence that you aren't like OP and putting your own ego ahead honesty. [/quote]
