[QUOTE="Mean Purple, post: 2891128, member: 72660"] While some of the Gen Z and Gen Y crowd my think of it that way, it is not out of line to say that some do know better and use it for new movement leverage, thus taking away from the effectiveness of the movement as far as it pertains to real social justice. And those that innocently think of it that way, could have been pushed in that direction by others who are using it for not well intended leverage. Just think about it. If you want racial equality, you don't want people making decisions based on race. That exclusive and wrong approach has some bad history to it. Yet, some are trying to use reverse logic and just push racial tension. Going out there and claiming that someone who tries to treat people equally is somehow racist because of some baseless claim of "white priv" is as much a failed claim as it is hypocritical. Someone knowingly went out and lied to those kids, to tell them not basing decisions of someones skin color and giving folks equal chances is somehow racist. They did not come up with that on their own. Call out the evils of prejudice when it really exists But don't go making agressive strife/conflict between folks who get along for the sake of power games. These kids have enough to deal with ... getting through school, getting into college, getting through college, finding a job, etc. They don't need some self repressed, so-called "woke" activists, profs and journalists making up conflict that may not really be there. Part of me thinks that is why some hope the football season won't happen. Keep things from normal and keep people upset. Keep playing power games. [/QUOTE]
