Sexism and racism is inherently linked to power, in such a way that women can't (really) be sexist towards men, and black people can't (really) be racist towards white people.
Yes there are exceptions, I don't want someone to bring up some 3,000 year old civilization that was dominated by black people where they had more privilege.
Racism and sexism are inherently a privilege issue, you can bring up all the cases you want of hate crimes against men from extremists or hate crimes against white people from black people - but it's not racism.
It's discrimination.
If you want to make a case against this then you can prove that women have more privilege than men, or that black people have more privilege than white people.
Maybe it's sad to say that this is primarily the american scope that I'm speaking of, I'm an american so I'm more in tune with american politics and the racial scope in this area.
THANK YOU! I'm glad somebody gets it. I feel like I'm being oppressed every single day by others due to them being part of a privileged race, and whenever I express any of my grievances against them (I know there are plenty of them that aren't racist towards my people, but a sizable amount are) they very hypocritically lash out against me and accuse me of racism. I'm sorry if any of those kind of people are reading this, I'm sure you're good people, but a number of Jews are constantly trying to suppress the success, lineage, and religion of the white race. They are an incredibly privileged people, with so many of them coming from wealth (do you know how many of them are CEOs?) So many Hollywood movies that promote racemixing (which not only insults white but the race of whatever the other person is as well) are directed by Jews, the white birthrate is already declining across the world, and the Jews try to decrease it even more! I don't like to insult people based on their race, but whenever another major incident of someone of the Hebrew ethnicity makes propaganda that actively encourages the end of the white race YET AGAIN, I just can't help to counter back and call that Jew a k i k e. I'm sorry if any Jews were offended by this, but please, if you are Jewish, please make sure to not ever promote white genocide, it's so ingrained into our culture now, that they sometimes are either fooled into thinking it's a perfectly acceptable thing or do it accidentally. And please remember, my backlash cannot truly be considered racism.
sure thing, but how many of those people do you think are actively trying to immigrate to the USA? i would say very few. people are coming to the USA to escape poverty, war, and death, or to support their families.
i've been hearing fearmongering about muslim refugees for years, and in spite of the fact that our country has been taking in more than ever, our country hasn't become some kind of terrorist nightmare.
which brings me back to my point that if we ban muslims from entering our country, it would be very easy for isis to take advantage of those people and convince them that america is the enemy
how many potential terrorists do you think are actively seeking US immigration to live an assimilated lifestyle
i don't know how many muslims are currently looking to get into our country, but i do know that our country took in roughly 39,000 muslim immigrants in the past 12 months, half of them being from syria/somalia
i just mean that the ones who might get swayed into killing us probably aren't the people we want living here

quick thing that i forgot to add about the muslim ban: trump's words have literally been used in terrorist propaganda/recruitment videos.
the easiest way to convince a bunch of scared, disenfranchised people that america is the real enemy they need to fight is to have our country literally ban them from entering at all.
Im fairly confident this was fake news but I might be missremembering
Clinton said, "We now do have evidence. We have seen how Donald Trump is being used to essentially be a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism."
That wasn't the case the first time Clinton claimed this. But now two different terror groups have used Trump's words in propaganda videos.

keeping borders secure and vetting citizens properly and not having people walk over our laws because "muh poverty" is important, not racist, nor sexist thanks!
ok hold up
no one thinks that trump/his supporters are racist because they want to enforce immigration/border laws, they think trump is racist because he appeals to racist rhetoric (he retweeted a fake statistic made by a white supremacy group about black people killing white people), he called illegal mexican immigrants rapists and criminals (which is not true), he was sued for racial discrimination a million times, and there's a whole bunch more
people think he's bigoted because he wants to ban an entire religion from our country (in doing that, he is also appealing to basic fears)
and people think he is sexist because of the many disparaging comments he has made about women, and the fact that he bragged about sexual assault and brushed it off as locker room talk
if you're gonna support trump, you should understand where the other side is coming from in calling trump those things
No. He did not call mexicans rapists and criminals. He said "they're sending rapists and criminals. they aren't sending their best people".
As in, "my immigration policy will make sure that we only get the best people".
I don't think trump's company necessarily represents his views. Fallacy of composition.
Trump's 10-part immigration plan states that it aims to temporarily ban muslim immigration until better vetting practices can be adopted.
yeah Trump might be a walking personification of white privilege with his lines like "they'll let you do anything when you're famous, like grab em by the p*ssy".
It's funny how conservatives adopt a consequentialist safety-/security-oriented argument with Islam but when guns are the topic of the day ALL the rules change.
I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.
