Politics "Under democracy, one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule -and both commonly succeed, and are right."

You know what's weird?
I don't think I've ever felt any offense from racial slurs against white people.
I think the only time I raised an eyebrow to some kind of slur was "Cracker Von Patriarch" and that was due to me getting the idea that'd it'd be DAMNED effective at rustling some white jimmies.

It's very hard to slur white people. We get a +2 Privilege bonus to all demoralize checks.

I am more weighted towards the TPE (total power exchange) Master/slave side of the scale, and for a while identified as a slave.. but I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with that as a label.
I believe in the reclaiming of words to empower people, and would add that it is up to the group who have been oppressed to decide what words they are going to reclaim, and how they are going to do it. As an Australian white woman, I am not reclaiming the word 'slave', and it's starting to irk me that the kink community throw this word around without any concept of the meaning behind it... the only other word that comes close to an accurate label for me is 'property', but the use of this term also holds with it SUCH problems.
I can't even really think of the question that I want to ask here, but I'm curious as to what people's thoughts might be..

You mean you find the term 'slave' problematic because of its historical baggage, and can't think of another term with the right connotations for your power dynamics?
If you were feeling humorous and like science fiction you could say 'minion'

Oh snap! Well in those terms, white people certainly do have more lands to tap.

I especially love when people who didn't understand that systemic racism still even exists the day before, to say nothing of the minorities who actually, you know, experience it, suddenly have a gem of benevolent white wisdom to solve it.
Seriously. Fuck all of you.

Cause he wants to pretend no one could have it worse than he has it; otherwise he'd realize he's a pussy for whining about life.
C'mere cracker! Does my name-calling make you feel like you're being oppressed?

What's kind of annoying is that whenever I try to google images that make fun of white people, about half of them are racist. Does anybody else have that problem?

Honestly, I've never really tried.
I'm not sure if I could find something that I would deem as racist against white people.
I'd imagine it'd have to be a kind of total statement like all white people are a bunch of drunk KKK members or something.

No, I mean actually racist. I google "white people meme" and half of the results are pictures of black people that say racist shit.

What makes you think I'm mad? The only emotional response I've had to a thread on this board that didn't involve someone getting hurt, was laughing at how the ridiculous elevatorgate drama fractured an atheist community.
People want to keep raging against the machine, knock yourselves out. I thought the rant threads were in the Whining section. Silly me.

Acknowledge the white guy, Alan. He'll break down if you don't.

No, it's NOT okay. We owe you an explanation for why we want to use the race card to get ahead of you.

Jonathan, I'm really skeptical that you know what this thread is about... What are you even trying to say? If you're trying to give a fuck, what are you picking up on? Or are you just being inflammatory and getting V riled for the LOLz?

I'm fighting the good fight on this misanthropic subculture forum, thread by thread. If even one hint of white male privilege goes challenged without reprisal all our plans will be for naught.
