Oh come on, are you two seriously trying to start up the same argument, the only difference being this time around you are using a [b]different set of 'victims'?
This all started when robbie said:
"Originally posted by robbie carrobie

... and you responded wit ...[text shortened]... zombie here wants to see more of that?
...oops, I just answered my own question[/b]
Come on, now. You realize you're treading into FMF-style argument here?
Here is the statement you are freaking out about: (To which I agreed.)
"I fully agree and would like to add a parallel of being white in a black world is much easier than being black in a white world."
Starting your argument against, you say this:
"Whites are no more (or less) safe in a black world than blacks are in a white world."
You CAN see that these statements are not congruent, right? This is the way FMF argues, and it must have rubbed off on you. Misdirection.
As to robbie's original statement, the reason I said "You know this makes NO sense, right?" is that he had it remarkably backward. As I said in a later post, "My entire point was that being straight in a "gay world", one would find immeasurably less intolerance and bias than a gay person does in this "straight world"."
And yeah, this is when you jumped in, threw everything off the rails and the thread went to hell in a handbasket.
Robbie rarely demonstrates that he even has the intelligence of a frog, so saying that he was "simply pointing out the folly of people who paint themselves as victims" is laughable at best.
And oh, by the way, racism doesn't suddenly disappear just because you proclaim that it doesn't exist, or even if you turn it around and claim that those claiming racism are somehow racist themselves. Same with misogyny, and same with homophobia.
