I mean I think it's great that people are proud of themselves and some cultural/background affiliations they might have (I have the same). But to identify yourself with everyone that shares the same skin color as you (and just that, not all of the other aspects) just seems absurd to me. And yeah it's fucking stupid, but sure go ahead if you want to be completely identified with everyone that shares some level of pigmentation in your skin go ahead. It's absolutely stupid. People from vastly different countries, religions and backgrounds happen do share the same gradation of pigment with you.... and you chose that to be the identifying factor?? Yeah sure, then go and fucking own it, and don't mind me bringing up the actual factual statistics, which I don't think apply necessarily to you, but apparently you do.

Great comic. Illustrates exactly how I think about all this woke race bullshit.

What are your thoughts on Clarence Thomas and this quotation from him? (from https://archive.li/pS4ck ):

"These guys are sitting there watching the destruction of our race while arguing about Ronald Reagan," Thomas said. "Ronald Reagan isn't the problem. Former president Jimmy Carter was not the problem. The lack of black leadership is the problem."

Also, what about those that would group not under skin color, but under people with strong related genes, such as most Sub-Saharan Africans in one broader group, people of European descent in another, East Asians in yet another, etc.? Which is for instance used in criminal investigations, where investigators can determine such groups purely by looking at the skeleton of a victim (they can also determine gender by looking at such skeletons). Something which also indicates whether people will have complications reg. which variations of medicine. And then there is the IQ differences between different people, even after adjusting for socio-economic factors. Etc.

And do you consider stuff like 13/52 to be something arbitrary and irrelevant?

I didn't change my password, some stupid clown did. But I'm still logged in on this browser via cookies, so I keep it going while it lasts...
