Sweet Baby Inc doesn’t even remotely do what many think it does, but on the modern internet, that doesn’t matter

      “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination”

        The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination

        “The Paradox of Tolerance” is easily solved if you stop thinking of Tolerance as an imperative, and instead as a social contract. Those who do not abide by the social contract of Tolerance are not protected by it.

        Therefore Racists, the anti-tolerant, will not be tolerated.

          Are you implying “anti racist discrimination” is justified by your quote? I agree with your quote, but it is not supportive of Kendi’s quote in the slightest. To discriminate is to “unjustly treat categories of people”, so if someone is acting racist and you don’t tolerate them, that is not discrimination at all because you are judging them for their actions, not their looks.

            so if someone is acting racist and you don’t tolerate them, that is not discrimination at all because you are judging them for their actions, not their looks.

            So what is the difference between that and “anti-racist discrimination”?

        No they don’t, silly goose. You’re only listening to con artists who tell you that: which they do because you’re easy to fleece for cash if you’re angry and afraid. Woke is about becoming aware of inequality and how privileged white people are in western society. It isn’t about hatred or tearing anybody down (except maybe the rich). It’s about building up those whom society has kept at a disadvantage.

        But you’ve been told that equality is a zero sum game, and that any rights someone else gains come from rights they’ve taken from you. But it isn’t like that at all.

        Stop listening to people who tell you to fear. It isn’t courage. If someone calls you an asshole, maybe consider the possibility that you’re being one?

        Modern woke trends spread hatred against caucasian hetero people. Especially named company.

        Do you have any examples of them spreading hatred against caucasian hetero people?

        Did you know it’s possible to acknowledge social inequality and historical (as well as current) racism and use that knowledge to produce positive results for everyone?

        Did you know it’s possible to build policies that are mutually beneficial to both straight white male people and those who are not straight, white or male?

          No no, you can’t give someone a bigger piece of pie unless it comes from my piece of the pie! /s
