Really?
Who are these 'others'? |
I won't quote your whole post as it's long, but I will address it. The first problem is, you don't live in America. I'm not dismissing you with that, I'm just trying to say that some things are actually nation-centric, and we have to deal with that. As I pointed out in my story about the woman doctor, if we created a National Orginization of Men, there would be a huge outcry. If there was a National Association for the Advancement of White People, the whole country would explode.
Fatty is right: we have been living in a white millenium, or in our country at least a white couple of centuries. I'm all for 'Colored', Women's and Gay organizations. Everybody needs a place where he or she feels welcome. But the fact remains that things are out-of-balance when one group feels that they can't be an '-ist' because of who they are, and another group can't express themselves without becoming an '-ist' in the eyes of everybody else.
