But no, I was not aware of this. I've never tried to run for office so I don't know the rules to join the tactics that politicians engage in. The less politician like people are the better in my opinion, so I don't relate to this outcry as much.
Because it doesn't affect you, you can't be assed to know about it or worry about it, or to support the rights of the classes of people harmed by it? If you aren't black, you don't care about bigotry against blacks? If you're comfortably heterosexual, you don't care about bigotry against those who aren't?
I do care about blacks, and I care about homosexuals. Your assumption is wrong. Either way though, even if you don't believe me, it does not change who I am, so I'll move on. ... Unless you wish to discuss how to help either community. Because I see that as a worth while discussion to explore. One idea I have would be have a mandatory class for public schools curriculums. To have a class on healthy relationships. This would help the general population, but also help minorities who have a higher rate of single parent households trying to raise their kids, minorities that have a higher rate of abusive parents and creating expectations for abuse in their kids, as well as help homosexuals that that gave a higher rate of abuse in their relationships. This solution will help the demographic pull itself out of poverty if it's in there, as well as help the next generation have a stable hone to help them when other issues arise, so they are less likely to get draged into poverty, crime, or drug abuse. If you have other solutions lets hear it. Otherwise if you want ti tell me you know me better than I know myself, I'll pass and move on to another comment.
These are not assumptions, they are questions based on your response to atheists telling you about actual discriminatory laws against atheists and personal accounts of discrimination and your response being dismissive. “I don’t know about it/it doesn’t affect me/your accounts are biased” you are telling us. I am not necessarily accusing you of not caring about these groups. I am asking you to examine why, if you are so supportive of these groups, you just see atheists as whiny or hyper aggressive. Why you see atheists as wronging/hurting religious people while you reject atheists’ lived experience and make excuses for religious people’s (the majority group) discriminatory actions towards atheists.
it’s easier for you to say julep is telling you she knows you better than you know yourself and to put me on ignore or whatever. But I’m asking you to examine yourself and explain why you support the rights of some groups, but not atheists, and why you’re so eager to slap down the experiences of people on this forum.
god, ugh
