I have many friends of various backgrounds. The easiest way to shut down a social justice warrior.
It's to tell them they are over complicating a very simple solution.
IF this person really cares about solving "Racial/Gender" issues.
Ask them two simple questions.
- Do you agree with me that race/gender issues are "SOCIAL ISSUES"?
- Do you agree with me that in order to solve a social issue. Two or more people must actually develop a real social bond?
They most likely will say yes to these common sense questions.
Follow up to and say look.
IF you really care about fixing race issues. Then why don't you go have pizza or watch a movie with someon of the ethnic group/gender you want to solve problems with.
Would that not build a real "SOCIAL BOND"???
Then end.
See. "Diversity Training" is not the way to go. You cannot solve a "human bonding" issue using an academic solution.
Just go out with each other and do something fun. Don't even talk about politics.
Just build a bond.
I was the first black men to join an all white fraternity in college. Sure.. we had political discussions from time to time.
BUT.
We did so many SOCIAL things together. We developed REAL BONDS with each other.
A lot of the guys were like real brothers to me.
A lot of guys openly felt comfortable to talk to me about their prejudices over time. I offered realistic and honest feedback.
This only strengthen our relationship.
Wow.. come on dude. Try harder please.
Ok.. now lets use our thinking caps dude.
Invaders A comes in a takes over. Invaders A now REWRITES history.
Invaders B comes in and takes the area from Invaders A. Invaders B now REWRITES history.
Invaders C comes in and takes the area from Invaders B. Invaders C now REWRITES history.
It makes sense LOGICALLY dude.
If Africa was one of the home bases for HUMANS. During a less evolved times.
People are going to fight and kill each other during a time like this. Until they EVOLVE past the infighting.
No one knows Africa real history. Because it has been rewritten SEVERAL times based on who invaded it.
It makes sense for a "HOME BASE" to be invaded multple times. During a time that organized government was not established yet.
If you cannot use your thinking cap on this.
Ok.. you got me.
COLLECTIVST THOUGHT ON BROTHER!
As I said.
Those who invade.
Both Rome and Britian have invaded Africa. They aren't the only ones.
But what you are seeing. Is the AFTER EFFECT of those various invasions. You are seeing REWRITTEN history of how Africa was.
As I said. The name Africa comes from ROME!!! This means ROME and other outsiders have influence on how you see AFRICA!
It was considered to be the BASE of where man started. The history of the people there has always been in a state of FLUX. Due to multiple invasions and turn over.
You are asking a question of "WHY" isn't there a successful African nation.
I am telling you WHY!
What you are not thinking about. If we are using the name "Africa" to refer to a landmark.
That name is not from black Africans lol. That name was created by ROME!!!!!
So once again. You DON'T KNOW THE REAL HISTORY of people there.
The history has been REWRITTEN. ROME is one of the places that did so.
CAN YOU NOT CONNECT THE DOTS HERE DUDE???
SERIOUSLY???
