#soleil-allah

Sadly the two people who responded negatively to my previous post have both blocked me without even waiting for a response.  One accused me of "whitesplaining" and the other requested that I kill myself via a hashtag, not sure which amused me more.

So for the record "nowhites" and "soleil-allah" here is my reply to your somewhat silly responses.

Firstly do you understand what "ironically" means?  Possibly not since you think "whitesplaining" is a word or that it has any currency outside your esoteric little American echo chambers.  Generalisations about the colour of the sky are fairly harmless, generalisations about the behaviour and integrity of millions of complex individuals based on the colour of their skin are not.

Secondly pretty much any statement that anyone makes about anything is up for debate by anyone else - even if those responses are foolish, bigoted or ill-informed - as I am sure you believe mine to be (so much so that I should apparently kill myself).  And if a statement was considered to be sacrosanct and immune from criticism or debate then surely that would need to be due to the weight of its truth rather than the race of the person making it?

Finally the Original Poster is playing a game which it is impossible for white people to win; if they agree with the statement or simply don't respond then OP can claim it as evidence they are right, if they object or attempt to debate it then OP can claim it as evidence they are right.  The trouble is it's a game that anyone can play - we could consider a statement like "black people automatically and mindlessly respond negatively to anything a white person says" - if you ignore or agree with it then the person making the statement feels vindicated, if you respond negatively or challenge it then the person making the statement will feel vindicated.
