sc said--I see more's the shame that those people just couldn't tolerate confronting their own white skin privilege nor the study thereof.
Why didn't I bet someone she would say that?
she also said the following incredibly stupid statement--
So sorry I upset your gentile sensibilties; oh, sorry, I meant genteel, of course!
to which, Hell, I felt I had to say (borrowing from Woody Allen)
Gosh! You didn't get cranky, did Jew? (Oh, sorry, I meant 'you', of course!)
I think the Whiteness thread is an appropriate place to come out with your prejudices, sc. Got a problem with gentiles?
Sofia, I feel like Al Pacino in the Godfather ... "....they just keep pulling me back in...";
Your last 2 taunts are examples of a majority-identitified person not 'getting' their impact on a minority-identified person. If you'd bother to do a little investigating on white skin privilege, you might have the intelligence to realize the parallel there is plain ole majority population privilege as well.
So, same as the other one, I don't have a problem with gentiles any more than I have a problem with white people per se, it's the system, it's the system. Don't you ever take anything other than personally? Have you ever heard "the personal is political"; do you get the connection?
Probably not.
Just leave me alone, okay? I want to be out of here, but those pesky little replies arrive from this thread as well as all my others, and I respectfully beg you to just leave me alone; please! I am off the forum, okay? Stop directing your hatefulness at me, okay? Please?
Would you please be decent enough to not mention me again; if it brings you pleasure to make bets on me, go ahead; but that's pathetic, you must realize; just leave me out of your thread. I'm still beggin you, Sofia. You got your way, so get off my back or the subject of me, okay?
I well remember how you first tried to have me ejected from A2K, so this goes back to mid-May. Could you stop looking for a reason? Could you please just leave me alone? Is that too much to ask? I think not!
You need a heart.
I can get therapy.
Times a'wastin'.
A clue-- If you want this conversation to end, you are the one who will have to stop. Continued digs are no way to get someone to do what you want.
You must be out your mind!
I did not make a dig at you until responding to your previous taunt, which was, yes, a dig.
Dig again and I will come back at you.
This post is not a dig. It is a response to a dig from you.
Your turn to just leave me out. So, just do so.
You must be out your mind!
-------
That's a dig in these parts.
And, I know most people seem to jump at your direction--
Your turn to just leave me out. So, just do so.
--but I'm not one of them.
So, since we'll be talking all night--why don't you come up with a more believable excuse for your gentile slur? You really had me believing you were so anti-prejudice. Want to discuss your control issues?
well, now- this is taking a healthy turn.....
Snood,
please take control of your thread; redirect your thread; whatever
just, please, make her leave me alone
I'm requesting "my thread" to be given a dignified burial.
The moderator for this Forum is jespah. I suppose that they are the only one who can lock it up/down?
If you want I can lock it, but as I explained I won't delete it because I can't keep up with thread deletion requests and when we have deleted threads others complained about it and forever derided us about it.
I have spent the majority of my life striving for a society which does not judge by ethnic background, national origin, religious preference or financial status. I refuse to be goaded and my motives impugned at every turn in a forum thread where the goal ought to be fraternity and unity of purpose. I am not about to criticise the stated aim of the thread or the ultimate motives of any who have participated on it. Suffice to say, you do it your way and I will do it mine.
At the request of the creator this topic, it is being locked.
