we should push for “white gay pride” as long as people feel comfortable being proud of the way they were born.
let them try to sort out why its ok to be proud of being gay, but not ok to be proud of being white.
Also, when someone says “Trump is racist”, grab that bull by the horns, and say “well yes obviously Trump is racist… he’s white, and every white person is born racist… and the worst white racists, are those who claim they aren’t racists… you know, people like you! Trump can’t help being born racist anymore than you can help being racist, so get off Trumps case, and look at yourself for once, and ask yourself what you are going to do about your own racist self… and since you can’t even admit you are a racist yourself, theres a near-zero chance you will ever reform your racist ways… so if you can’t even stop being a racist yourself, why would you expect anyone else to change?
I can appreciate all this...but getting them to "sort out" their positions is not a thing.
They don't have, nor are led by, morals or ethics.
They have goals and objectives.
They will quite easily countermand all your rhetorically intelligent (and dare I say effectively funny) arguments with a simple "Trump is a nazi and so are you".
And that's enough for them.
You need to forcefull say "No. Enough." And then plan on escalating, because they sure as fuck will. Irrational and sadly, threats of violent behavior, will be necessary.
The "people like you" line doesn't work.
They will acknowledge their privilege or racism or self loathing positions, and then try to spin that into a win about how they're better than you.
It's only worth it when you are arguing for the opinions of spectators or passersby.
