Did you know /r/WhiteRights claims MensRights as a similar group alongside /r/White_Pride and /r/WhiteNationalism? WTF?

Association is annoying, there's no doubt of that. However, anyone that tries to make the case of direct association usually gets shot down in flames.

Being born poor, white, and male I have the amazing privilege of knowing I've actually earned my place in life based on merit, with none of the privileges granted to women, minorities, or the rich.

Go go white privilege!

Did you know that there's a statement regarding whiterights right there in the sidebar, linking to a request that /whiterights removes that link?

Yes, we know. Read the side bar.

This is akin to saying "If all Muslims fail to always condemn the acts of terrorists who are also Muslim, then all Muslims are supporters of terrorism."

Anybody who uses this against a perceived opponent is cruising for an intellectual bruising, because it's illogical to demand anything like this.

Apparently non-white men aren't men. Amirite? /s

This is a stupid thread. Why shouldn't there be a White Rights group? That group isn't trying to say whites are better; it's just sticking up for the rights of whites which are sometimes ignored today by PC people (like Men's Rights with men). It would be ridiculous to deny that there is sometimes "reverse racism" and discrimination in favor of minorities. All races should be allowed their own group to watch out for their interests. Saying one "[race]'s Rights" group should exist but not another is hypocritical.

There are nutters in /r/mensrights. There are nutters in /r/whiterights. There are also people who see injustices in both. I don't see a particular problem for people seeing injustices (right or wrong) to identify with other groups seeing injustices. I know there's a /r/blackpower - I wouldn't be surprised if some identified or subscribed to /r/mensrights too.

I know, right? fuck those white people.

Only non-whites get to protect and advance their rights and their culture.

I actually sometimes read /r/whiterights...

I see it as a valid comparison. From my perspective whites and men in America are, overall, the dominant groups when it comes to race and gender. Yet this does not mean that these groups are treated fairly all of the time. While some people are truly just trying to fix these injustices, many people end up just trying to regain superiority for these groups and put down others. I see a mix of hatred, blindness to privilege, and valid and important points in men's and white rights discussions. It's a shame that so many people confuse ensuring equality with trying to advance their own group, because it makes the sane one's harder to notice.

Well, so far 50% of you don't seem to see a problem with that.

If you're going to post about /r/WhiteRights the least you can do is post a direct link and explain what you think is so inappropriate.

2011-01-05T07:23:46+00:00

Thank god, I was afraid all the men on MensRights were going to run out of ways to feel victimized.

RetroG4tor · 2011-01-05T16:49:05+00:00

You are surprised???? WTF!!?
