Sorry bro, I disagree wit this. I think white women and white gays understand for one thing. I also think that just because i'm white doesn't mean i can't comprehend what they were put through. I know what it's like to be shit on. When your like 15 and your getting shit on by some teacher tellin you your useless and you'll never keep a job for more than 6 weeks. I know it's not the EXACT SAME. Yes no white person can claim the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE. But I can imagine what it feels like. I never had a single thing stolen from me, but I can imagine how the Indians felt when their entire worlds were flipped upside down. You get what I'm saying. I don't want to be jumping on ya on some technicality, just trying 2 show you my point of view. Btw, what about all the white jews that went through the holocaust, you don't think they know EXACTLY what the racial minorities feel like sometimes? I think they do. We all experience discrimination some point in our life.
well.... intresting point with white women and gays, but i still feel like a white person(whether gay, or a woman) can not comprehend what it is like to be black and will never understand. and they can simply not understand. maybe this will make u understand more... just within the past year my girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me with my best friend since kindergarden. now i am sure u can understand what it MIGHT feel like to have something like this happen to u, but u will never understand completly untill it has happened to u first hand. point being u can imagine something like that but u dont see how ENORMUS it is untill it happens to yourself.
before this situation happened to me i felt like it would be so easy to just say fuck it, fuck u both, im a moving on with my life, and have no worries. well guess what its not that easy, u will never understand the amount of dorment and how much it has fucked my brain up since all that has happened. i was averaging 2 hrs of sleep a night during this time, my stomach was constantly turning and i couldnt eat a thing, i started smoking heavy amounts of weed, and smoking ciggerates.
point being u only will feel a portion of what a person of a race other than white goes through. because u dont see what that person goes through on a daily basis and just how much life is getting them down.
i agree with u everyone gets shitted on mulitple times throughout there life, but not of the same magnitude. i got shitted on by baseball coaches, teachers, etc. but fuck them they dont mean shit to me in my real life. when someone shits on u for the color of ur skin, something u were born with, thats just plain fuckd up and its something to get pissed off about. we will never understand what it is to be downgraded just for the color of our skin.
i guess my whole point is the magnitude and the history are the two big factors that i just see there is no way for a white person to ever comprehend what a person of a different race will go through. we dont see the day to day struggles and hardships, we cant hop into their minds and understand their true feelings.
