Just a privilege little white kid talking about shit he doesn't know. The fact that you're white does not make it any better calling out another white person claiming reverse racism. A thing that doesn't exist. It just drives home the point that you have no idea what you're talking about. You know what's worse than racism. Pretending it and its effects do not exist.

And I should not have to explain well-known American history to you. Has school failed you that badly. That you learned nothing about slavery segregation or the ongoing racial divide that still exists to this day. Effects that extend into all ownership not just the media. Or are you just another foreigner trying to tell someone who's experienced and lived through all this that what they feel what they've seen what they know is wrong. I don't take kindly to gas lighters.

Holy shit, can’t believe you wrote a whole essay and still failed to address any of my points in any meaningful way. I’m not sure if your reading comprehension is just that dogshit, or your prefrontal cortex is so horrendously atrophied that your response to any evil in the world is ‘lol white people amirite’ and then immediately resorting to insinuations of race and privilege if someone challenges your narrow worldview.

Whatever, feel free to wallow in your self-hatred and guilt for the rest of eternity. Frankly, I don’t give a rat’s ass, at least not enough to continue engaging with you. Enjoy being blocked.
