Forgot the second part of that. nemu posted... They are used in such a way not to fix anything, but to blame things. With any problem, you have to identify the root cause before you can fix anything, or at least improve it, and when the root cause is presented and those in power respond "no it's not", that's why things don't get fixed. There is a difference between discussing a problem and trying to bundle it up into some kind of all inclusive term that can be "fought." You can say "there are problems that are greatly affecting the black community" and fight against those problems where they arise. Ascribing the term "white privilege" may be an attempt to put a term to those problems, but you're instead simply creating an aggressor and victim. That is the same idea with rape culture, patriarchy, etc. It doesn't matter that these terms may have more neutral definitions. What matters is how they are used by the people who use them. The second someone says "it's the fault of X", the purpose has been lost. <cite>nemu posted [p:910131984] in Crowder's ...
