I wouldn't even say that's white privilege, that's a damn echo chamber brought on by the stupidity of the masses.

It's the same shit they do on reddit, either you're woke or your the enemy.
@realcaseyrollins @sim @_p Yeah, generally it's not an intentional thing. Though on the other hand the use of long ethnic origin names (african-american, mexcian-american, etc.) is done either as soft-language because black or mexican on their own seem 'xenophobic' or a need to continue dividing along racial lines.

Hence the anger towards say... "Hey man, we're all americans."

@Lainyboy@neckbeard.xyz @_p@shitposter.club Yo @sim that's deep but you're 1000% right

@realcaseyrollins @_p Haha. Is this the white privilege that black people allow white people to have?

@sim @_p@shitposter.club Yeah...it is frustrating because white people are (kind of) allowed to have different opinions on these topics, but black people aren't.

White privilege, I guess.

@realcaseyrollins @_p If he didn't take that expectation for granted then he shouldn't be disappointed in you having a different opinion. He would realise there is a diverse amount of opinions out there as well.

So you are worried about what your own black friends would think if they knew you held your opinion but they held one as he does? That would make sense. Especially considering it sounds a lot more conformist there.

@milo @sim @_p@shitposter.club Yeah, that's my general feeling. But I recognize that (depending on the person) it's not intentional

@_p @realcaseyrollins @sim Around here, most have preferred 'black' and find 'african-american' to be patronizing.

@Jojothegoodperson@freespeechextremist.com @_p@shitposter.club @sim The biggest issue with it is that since it's race, everybody acts like they have a moral high ground because of their views on the matter.

@_p@shitposter.club @sim Yeah, that's a good question. I can really go with both, but I do prefer black. But yeah I identify far more with being American than any relation I may or may not have to Africa...I've never been there tbh, and all the people I know who have gone over there are white lol

police forces should only be disbanded completely if each household is allowed to have at least 2 guns

Its all the people abused by police and the court system we **didnt** riot over that has me concerned honestly...

gab trending is still not showing the Trump/Epstein anon thing
"The act of listening to music, whether you’re doing so actively or have it on in the background, can lower your stress levels almost immediately. Because of this, music is a very convenient and powerful tool to help with stress relief: it can help you to feel more energized, more peaceful, more cheerful, or more of many stress-combating emotions. Because music can affect your physiology and your mood with very little conscious effort from you, it’s great to have on in the car while you start your day, or in your house when you get ready to go."

Now I know why music is so addictive!

@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.
