@StillIRise1963 @AlliFlowers @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop StillIRise is right, Dr. Flowers. You used her statement as a springboard for your own grievance, and don’t seem willing to own it when she quite mildly points it out.
@LauraJMG @StillIRise1963 @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop
For context. I was replying to a statement made my Ricardo. Next time I’ll delete everyone else in the conversation to avoid confusion.
@AlliFlowers @StillIRise1963 @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop I see. You’re right—I missed that important context. My apologies. But it does seem to me as if you’re trying to both-sides the discussion, when StillIRise didn’t say anything about any other group’s oppression but her own, vis-a-vis white supremacy.
@AlliFlowers @StillIRise1963 @ricardoharvin @LawrenceShop
I feel like we shouldn’t ask every targeted group member to have to say, “and this other group and this one and this one also have it bad,” just to avoid being accused of playing oppression olympics.
@LauraJMG We don’t all have it equally bad. But sometimes it’s a nice reminder that we’re not alone in having it bad, no matter the degree of badness.
@AlliFlowers I hear you. Thanks for sharing your own story. Antisemitism is vile, and I’m so sorry you were targeted that way.
@AlliFlowers No, but I get how you’d want to say something about it. It pisses me off that people abuse their power that way.
