In reply to the discussion: White progressive analysis of politics is fundamentally broken. [View all]NoGoodNamesLeft
(2,056 posts)It seems to be the same group of people who keep starting these same threads that DO lump all white people together and in a very offensive way. Many times I have attempted to engage in productive conversation with those starting these threads and in almost all cases there is ZERO openness or willingness to have anything that goes beyond "They are all racists, all of them, fuck the white working class, they voted for hate, they all.....yadda, yadda, yadda." At this point I'm just goddamned sick of seeing it. It's not helpful, productive and actually makes the problem even worse. I ignored this thread for a few days because I was getting to the point where I just didn't give a fuck about doing my part anymore. That's NOT where I want to end up and it's NOT who I am.
No understanding and growth ever comes from guilt trips, blaming, shaming and accusing. All that garbage EVER does is create toxicity.
