Bravo, sincerely.<br /><br />Empathy and compassion are very valuable human qualities, and when people show how lacking they are in these qualities, it's a damn shame. "Get over it" seems to show an insensitivity that stinks.<br /><br />But I imagine people who say such things , who lack empathy, will eventually learn what that lack means when someone shows the same to them, in another context say. I believe in Karma, and yes she's a bitch too! <br />And you're wonderful.Belvoirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-3231307076921525492009-05-22T20:11:48.190-05:002009-05-22T20:11:48.190-05:00The whole "get over it" mentality reminds me of th...The whole "get over it" mentality reminds me of the ideology of the rapist or the domestic abuser.

He just does not get it. No one, not one person is talking about treating anyone else "special" why do they always jump to this point that only exists in their imagination? We are talking about treating everyone the same with the same rights and advantages. Because of "isms" people are denied jobs, housing, healthcare etc. When will they get it? We are NOT talking about being treated special just being treated as humans, as they are. Goodness me! So much work to be done. So much miseducation, misdirection and spin out there. It is always interesting to me how people spin things into acceptance. He is essentially saying that the "isms" should be accepted.

You should stop looking at the room and wondering why all the black students are sitting together...but that requires some inner work instead of citing someone else's social theory.<br /><br />I'll refer you back to the post above then advise that you start a new intellectual journey with A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn.<br /><br />Toodles!Shark-Fuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323962708956637012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-75790377611960410932009-05-20T15:19:58.537-05:002009-05-20T15:19:58.537-05:00almost every race or group of people has been ensl...almost every race or group of people has been enslaved and oppressed by their own and other races... this im sure you already know since you seem like an intelligent person, my biggest question would be if you actually believe all the crap you have been spewing? You really think that you and your "people" are in the positions they are in because of others... that is not very responsible of you... blaming others for all of the problems you have with your differences... I have noticed one thing that generally binds people who complain about social injustice... they usually go too far and instead of inspiring they anger, using the same rhetoric over and over again. I ask one question, why should black people as a race be treated specially in america? if your answer is anything other that that they shouldnt, then you are not hoping for equality at all... fuck your race, fuck my race, unless you are deeply rooted in the customs and culture of your familys ancestral homeland, which 99% of the country is not, your "race" doesnt exist. and if you are one of those people who deeply identifies with your race, then you are in limited company. everyone should be treated on an individual basis, and if people actually understood how race is identified, this wouldnt be such an issue. I would highly reccomend you read a book called Imagined Communities. and one more thing, by not getting over it, you are only making things worse for yourself. We all need to get over it, whatever it may be and accept that this world is unavoidably filled with shit to get over, and thats life. you may not like me individually, and i dont like you individually, but race, sexual orientation, and financial level have nothing to do with it... so from one happywhiteathelete to one angryblackbitch i say with the utmost regard... lets get over it together baby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-43255950883000358012009-05-20T09:38:00.292-05:002009-05-20T09:38:00.292-05:00Pickled watermelon rinds?

At one of our block parties my Mom - who has a canteloupe allergy - suggested he salt his melon (no really; the sodium counteracts the allergic enzyme or something but it works) He sprinkled salt on a nice big slice, took a bite, chewed contemplatively for a moment, then shrugged - "THIS is what all the jokes are about?" <br /><br />Maybe it was the salt.... he did like pickled watermelon rinds.Rileysdtrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-57911306756307424722009-05-20T07:59:21.440-05:002009-05-20T07:59:21.440-05:00Welcome Son of Baldwin!

When someone tells you to "get over it" in regard to oppression of any kind, that person is treating "it" like it's simply an abstract idea that ceases to exist once one doesn't think about it. Those who have a lot of privilege (ie white able-bodied middle/upper class males) are usually the first ones to get annoyed, defensive, and angry when people try to point out forms of misogyny, racism, homophobia, etc. They tell you to "get over it" because they don't want to feel conscious or guilty of their privilege and power, they don't take your experiences, rights, and feelings seriously, and they think oppression just exists because the oppressed "want" it to. In other words, these privileged assholes think "It's all in your head!"<br />"It"'s not all in my head, and I'm not getting over "it" either!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-35903390647601993802009-05-19T23:41:27.924-05:002009-05-19T23:41:27.924-05:00Please don't get over it!
