Some families do break up. Some don't.

All mixed race families break up.

What a crock of poop.

No they don't. Where the hell are you getting your information? The KKK?

I've never met a mixed family that stayed together.
I'm 42 and been all over North America.

I can't speak for Europe or the rest of the world but North America is different when it comes to race.

The Krispy Kreme Klub?

No I don't get my info from them.
Good donuts though 🤔

You obviously have been meeting the 32%...

Join the club.

I'm in the "straight white male" club that's being attacked too.

I have been a white male lesbian for years.

From statistical analysis to racial stereotyping in two easy posts, well done.

I don't think that was what I was saying...

But you adopt the language of the right to complain against people waking up and realizing just how badly non-whites and LBGTQ+ have been treated in America.

Their thinking is not "fundamentalist". Sometimes pushback has to be extreme to successfully push back centuries of white inertial thinking.

So even "thinking" has a racial connotation...

I suppose it is therefore centuries of "black thinking" that made Rwanda and Somalia and Central African Republic and the Congo and Niger and other African nations among the poorest in the world.

Thanks for the clarifying viewpoint.

Ya he's a "Log Cabin Republican" type

But I’ve never heard a LGBTQ+ person criticise someone for simply being straight, have you?
If your opinion is that they or their lifestyle is intrinsically wrong then you’ll need to accept their response to your judgemental attitude.

part of the ideology is that orientation is not chosen, so it is not a likely position. It's also patently absurd to suggest people who use biological sex organs for their evolved/designed purposes have something wrong with them.

Although there is the famous term for straights: "breeders."

You cannot deny that the SJWs are going too far - that is the basis of this thread, created by a gay man.

It's as real as real gets.

Although now I'm starting to wonder . . .

White inertial thinking, eh?
Wouldn’t that be ruling class inertial thinking? Or do you think that coal miners in Liverpool had anything to do with slavery?

Religious inertial thinking. Or do you think blacks don’t discriminate against gays?

Wake up your bloody self.

Mhmmm… You have heard of colonialism, haven’t you?

You do realise that many of the issues these countries you mention are suffering from today have roots in European domination of the regions and are, in fact, consequences of choices made by the European ruling classes… not many of whom were black?

I appreciate the truth of what I understand to be your point, and especially your ability to discuss something so serious while still injecting intelligent humor.

I think it is very unfair that you should even have to worry at all about being attacked by militant alphabet-people. And your later comment, "In the USA, ANYONE can be attacked" is so starkly and darkly true that ...[text shortened]... for a time. They knew, and I mean KNEW there wasn't going to be any harm come to them under my roof.

Thank you, Liljo. I did read and very much appreciate your reply.

J/K -- I'm only gay, and although that is okay as a kind of shorthand, I don't really care for some of the baggage that comes with that, e.g., I don't participate in Gay Pride parades dressed in rainbow feathers and silver hotpants.

I'm a guy who's attracted to guys (not all of you! don't panic!) who wonders how anyone could possibly come out as all of those letters i ...[text shortened]... dhering to and promoting their totalitarian party line. It's almost as if Stalin had rainbow babies.

I try to see each person as an individual, not as a placeholder for a class. Classes are, when all is said and done, artificial intellectual constraints. They clarify and simplify thinking, but often at the expense of clipping the reality or, as you say, often with a load of baggage which doesn’t actually apply in a given individual case.

For the record, I identify as h.sap.
