I mean, if people are claiming that transgenders have a mental disability, why not extend that to everyone who doesn't meet your shallow view of the world? Everyone who isn't a white male should receive disability funds.

Do black people need to take daily medication and undergo numerous surgeries to deal with being black the way transgenders do?

Does Michael Jackson count?

What about Sammy Sosa?

That's dumb.

Like really dumb. Yes, if you strip the word disability of all it's actual meaning and assign another meaning to it, then I could see that argument being made, I even understand what he's going for. But it's not a disability.

Being 5'5 is more of a disability than being black.

I really wish this kind of thinking would go away. Growing up, I had a number of friends and class mates that considered general delinquency "being black."

Get good grades in school? Be on time to class? Speak properly? "You're acting white!"

It's dumb as hell and self defeating. I really don't understand how "acting black" is equated to doing dumb shit in life.

I honestly feel bad for black people in America, when the people who are supposed to be on your side say things like this insulting you and treating like you're an inferior human being who can't accomplish anything without government help.

It'd be one thing if this exact same statement came out of the mouth of a Klansman, but when someone who is looking out for you says it, that's just depressing.

I've heard about this before too. I think that one possible solution would be showing kids examples of African businessmen in Africa, like have these kids ever seen a board room meeting in a country like Nigeria where every single person sitting around the table is black? Maybe it will shatter some of these illusions of what "acting black" means.

Transgenderism is gender dysphoria and classed as a mental disorder and is classed as such because it's associated with high suicide and self harm rates among other things.

This stuff however is beyond stupid it's basically saying ya we're inferior to white people so give us money, liberals use this sort of talk alot and they don't even realise how racist it is.

I'll say one thing for the new rules in the ToU; people have really had to put more effort into their shit posting now that they can't just insult people while ignoring their post and adding nothing to the discussion.

Jesus Christ, he compared being black to a disability. You're the one insulting the disabled by saying that.

The following should be considered disabilities:

Being a male under 5'8

Having a small penis

Being bald or balding before age 35

Making less than 30k per year

Having a child before age 21 or before you have a high school diploma

I assume he means being black comes with disadvantages to social success and well being, but calling it a disability sure sounds like he's saying they are less capable.

Oh dear god. As a man who had actual fertility issues to face when we planned to have our first child; this is ridiculous.
