ORIGINAL: CreativeDominant quote:
ORIGINAL: Blaakmaan Black men do not, as a rule, lack "integrity/ambition/strength/character" any more than any other men. Much as it pains me to admit it, white men do not, as a rule, lack "ambition, strength, character, aggression, [or] what-have-you" any more than any other men. To tar so broad a group with so broad a brush is quintessential racism. Racism is racism. You can be racist in your world, but you're still racist... And, more to my original point (waaay back when), those "broad brush" stereotypes cut more in favor of white men than anybody. Therefore, they benefit more from those stereotypes than anybody. As is amply reflected right here on CM. I find it ironic that a black man comes forth complaining about racism and racist attitudes and yet comes forth with the two statements I have put in bold above... Like it or not, racism exists. So do many other problems. You can whine and bitch about it but sooner or later, you have to examine what your whining and bitching get you. I can just about guarantee you that coming in to a group to which you paid no fees to join, which did not discriminate against you during the entry process and which could care less how you identify...be it submissive, dominant, bottom, top, switch...and then with one of your first threads begin griping about how things in here are skewed towards the white man's favor will certainly not earn you much in the way of an accepting attitude. You're a Dom, are you not? Then it pretty much follows that I don't really care much whether your attitude towards me is accepting or not. It's not like you're the Welcome Wagon (and if you are, where the hell have you been?). I like to be accepted like everyone else does. But I'm going to state my opinions, even if that means I won't "earn" an "accepting attitude." I couldn't be much of a Dom if I'm too afraid to state my opinion because I may not be accepted. This isn't a popularity contest. [If it is, somebody please tell me!!!] I don't "whine and bitch" about racism. I discuss it, present my opinions of it, hear other people's opinions of it, and sometimes argue about it. That's what the forums are for, are they not? Things in here are skewed in the white man's favor. If there's something "ironic" in those two sentences as compared to the other statements I have made in this string about racism and racist attitudes, you didn't point it out and I certainly don't see it.
