Yeah this gets infuriating a times

My brother's black roommate said he was "disappointed" in me for disagreeing with him smh
@sim

@realcaseyrollins @_p But why do you have to conform to his opinions? Is he not aware that it is rare to find someone who agrees with all his opinions? Especially when you get down to experiences/perspectives and preferences.

@sim @_p@shitposter.club Well most African-Americans generally have similar opinions on these racially-charged political topics, so I could see why he would expect me to agree with him, but it's another thing to be "disappointed" in someone else just for their opinion.

Now thankfully, I don't really care what he thinks. Most of my brother's friends are pretty wack anyways. But it was still odd to me and a bit frustrating. Not because of what he thinks of me, but what that would mean for other black friends of mine who might feel how he does.

@realcaseyrollins @sim @_p Have you seen the Candace Owens statement? I don't agree with all of it, but most of it I do and it gets to this kinda ... groupthink mentality, right? Biden and every politician expects black America to vote unified ... but trapping people in a bloc, because of a common history to oppression, and not due to choice or other socioeconomic factors .. does put ideas about self identity in a cage

@djsumdog @realcaseyrollins @_p What did she say? It is sad when they expect black people to vote unified. It's like they don't realise there is diversity here amongst voices and concerns they'll have. Nobody has the exact same experience, although sometimes it is similar but from their own perspective.
