Forget the huge proportions of white males in the rust belt and in rural America that are either on poverty or hovering around it. Forget the high rates of suicide, drug addiction, and continuous unemployment and underemployment. Forget all that, they just like to victimize themselves Lordy if this argument were used for black people on this board, people would be falling over themselves to quote statistics about black people and place the blame on them. That's because current cultural discourse has made a contest over suffering of one group over another instead of actually addressing the suffering indiscriminately. Is this literally a fucking All Suffering Matters post? By the term suffering I mean something that is life crippling. So if that's the case then yes all suffering obviously matters. If suffering is life crippling, let's not make a contest out of who suffers more. In no way am I claiming minority groups doesn't have greater challenges to face, but does that diminish the suffering of those not in the minority? So, there was never a contest until white people started this whole "we're suffering too and it's because of our race" as opposed to being because of location, location, location and also occupation. Things that have nothing to do with being white. In fact, what ends up happening is that this stuff is meant to minimalize minority suffering when it's used histrionically. No one was making a contest out of suffering and I don't know where you got the idea that there was a contest in the first place. The point is that people don't want to suffer. The issues are different. Job growth in the midwest is not gonna appear anytime soon, but, maybe this will surprise you. Things that would benefit minorities on the bigger scale will also affect white people as well. For example, asking for police to not be so trigger happy affects white people too. --- If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply. <cite>Kineth posted [p:886008398] in This perse...
