I don't agree with this logic. That does not make sense.



I'm saying it's not ok to detain people against their will, steal their children, force them to work, or give them derogatory labels.

That does not mean it's suddenly an issue when it happens to white people or Gnetters care more. It's seeing an instance surface again in in our lifetime, and saying "Shit. Not again!"


Not an act of aggression or erasure.

Have you read the last couple pages? Have you seen the multiple posts where I have said that that, specifically, is not what I was getting at? Could you please let me articulate what I want to say so that you understand before you give any feedback? I am having a very difficult time being polite to you as I type this and you are not helping.
