(53,032 posts)Which you appear to see as more important than the oppression of people of color. Obviously our values are diametrically opposed, since I consider it far lower for white men to tell people of color how they are allowed to speak about racism and which manifestations of racism they are allowed to fight for. This purpose of this thread is to say that I stand as one white person who doesn't believe I am more important than the members of color on this site and that I support their right to frame issues as they see fit. I see the same cast of characters who attack my equal rights taking aim at members of color, and I want to make clear that I do not support their reactionary aims. I will always stand up for equal rights, and I will never privilege the egos of a few self-entitled white men above social justice. Therefore what you think of "as low as it gets" is meaningless to me.
