"why don't we speak about rights of minorities on this forum."

Yo, you post here. You're factually, actively posting and could post about rights of minorities, too. So I'm asking you: why don't you post about these things? Why is it something only brought up as an ideal in a discussion that's about something else, but not something done by you on its own without outside consensus or approval? What has stopped you so far?

Think a lot about this for the rest of your life. Seriously. I have, and it's revealed a lot of truths I was too stubborn to see about myself. I feel dumb for not being introspective, thoughtful, and self-critical about my own set ways and behavior at a younger age. I thought I was, but I was in my own world, rarely challenging myself on new information.


As others have said here: if you don't see it, that should tell you something. The lesson isn't that minorities don't talk about their own issues.


Can you quantify this discrimination?






You're getting pretty emotional in your writing over this thing that has nothing to do with you, dude. You're kind of a boy like that, getting worked up about the stuff you criticize others for despite you having no skin in the game in the first place.


Yeah, this is what I was going to post in response.

It's not "race-baiting" to accurately acknowledge that white flight happened. Demographic trends show white people moving back to the cities, leaving minorities without a sure place to live or a rooted community to belong to, usually because of the connection of class and mobility.
