Kinda political I guess.

So I'm not a racist but I am curious is black power the equivalent of black lives matter and equality or is black power the equivalent of white radicalism white power? Genuinely interested in discussion

Anytime there is a group of people who want to make rules to keep down another race it’s racism. That’s just my opinion.

@Batman true, I agree. But does black power a rally cry for equality or is it a rally cry to put down the white man? I guess that's what I'm asking
Batman · 41-45, M
It’s a battle cry to put down white people. Same way white power is a cry to put down black people. If you want to see this in action go to where the majority of people is black and see if you are treated different for being white. Think about when you hear people say America is getting browner and that’s ok. Now say America is getting whiter and see the reaction you get .

@Batman but shouldn't people of color have areas where they are the majority and they are safe. As white people have a majority of the country where they feel safe and in the majority. Where they are treated "normal" and people of different ethnicities as lesser. In an ideal world it wouldn't matter...but alas it does
@Batman That is not true. We make up 12% of the U.S. population and nobody is trying to put down anyone else. People are just trying to survive basic traffic stops.

I think everyone should feel safe everywhere but that isn’t where we are, that stuff isn’t here yet. I hope one day it is but pointing out our differences will never get us there. Do you realize we all are around 98% to 99% the same genetic make up? Humans fight over a fraction of % of differences. It sounds silly to me.

It is silly were 60% banana for Christmas sake.
Batman · 41-45, M
I don’t get the last thing you said but I’ll heart it anyway 😂
SlySarah · 31-35, F
Lol idk I recently heard we share 60% of our DNA with a banana. Did not fact check that though lol
Batman · 41-45, M
Oh that’s news to me but it would not surprise me. You can check the 98 to 99% thing though. Have you seen the Brown Eye Blue Eye experiment?
SlySarah · 31-35, F
@Batman I don't think I have
Batman · 41-45, M
I’ll post it for you hang on it’s old but great at helping you understand how humans look for ways to have conflict

I have seen it. Fantastic. So forward thinking especially for that time
Batman · 41-45, M
Right. It just goes to show we will fight over anything
SlySarah · 31-35, F
But that's natural. Not only is it human nature its animal nature. We have to condition an instinct that is in our DNA away. See you another couple hundred years lol
Batman · 41-45, M
Right the long and short of it is we are apex predators, that’s what we do. That’s why we have cell phones and the internet yet we still have wars.
SlySarah · 31-35, F
Interesting creatures we are. I truly appreciate this discussion. Not one I feel comfortable with in person as people get so heated. But it is important
Batman · 41-45, M
Yeah I understand that but that’s why we have SW😀
SlySarah · 31-35, F
@Batman exactly discussions like this and diaper fetishes lol
Batman · 41-45, M
Lol you might have a different life style than me 😂
SlySarah · 31-35, F
@Batman bahahaha nooo not me. Just my inbox is full of that crap...pun intended? Lol
Batman · 41-45, M
Yeah all the ladies say that. I wonder why women are not that disgusting 🤔
SlySarah · 31-35, F
Lol they are. Just not as openly
ladycae · 100+, F
@SlySarah we also share 30% of our DNA with rice plants and 25% with flys.
