My 2 Cents Worth On "Dear White Gays"......

I read my friend Jasun Mark's comment on this article on Facebook, and then went and read the article "Dear White Gays : Stop Stealing Black Female Culture"..... then re-read the article .... then read it again .... and again today after seeing a Don Lemon interview about it posted on the intelligent and informed Viktor's blog .....

Now, as many of you know, I am of the "train smashing into a school bus full of differently abled terminally ill children" type of subtlety.   I am blunt, but sometimes I am not entirely filtering my language/delivery at a level that helps - not hinders - my argument.  I'm working on it.  But I know my delivery can sometimes get in the way of the substance of my opinion / view.

Not this time - this woman did my job for me.

So .......................... after careful consideration I have the following to say....

Until we all want to stop playing "My Victimhood is more victimworthy than yours", we will never achieve equity as a society. 

Never.

This woman - from an actively targeted minority - told another actively targeted minority, that they were not as worthy or as HURT as her and her own.

I need a shovel.  The contempt this woman displayed is in danger of burying me.

As a human being - colour, sexuality and religion aside - I am offended on many levels.

And this woman is a Human Fail.  Not a black or white or woman or man or gay or straight fail.  A Human Fail.
