I always wonder if these dudes who promote that bs would actually do anything. It's one thing to want to see justice done and to encourage young bm to stand up for themselves but it's a totally different thing when you call them a bitch/pussy when they don't live up to some fantasy version of how they see themselves.
Ironically I'm still waiting for at least one to call this shit what it is and that's victim blaming.
7 to 1 and you let them white boys punk you? Little punk ass bitch.
I won't call this guy a punk anymore, because I think there was something wrong with him psychologically that he was willing to put up with that shit. Barricading himself in his room like that and going to class the next day is a clue to his mindset.
At least I hope that's what it was. I would love to ask the guy exactly what was he was thinking.
But anyway, tdk you're changing the argument. Are you saying he should've stood up for himself or not? Are you saying it's understandable that he did nothing about the problem or not?
Are you saying "My issue is because he's male we expect something different than if were a girl" :roll: or not?
Exactly what's going on here?
Personally, I know how I would've handled it because I know how I've handled things in the past. I also know that life is hard enough without letting other males pick on you, especially privileged motherfuckers like these guys.
No front. No "badassism" necessary. It would take too long to explain my mindset, but seeing this and seeing that... nothing's gonna make me simply take shit, whatever it takes. Better off dead. Obviously.
..And speaking of badassism, let me make it clear: I have
zero respect for badassism. I don't even like coming across as promoting it. Valuing badassism is part of what's wrong with the world today. It's a stupid way of thinking. I wouldn't advise any son of mine to jump bad.
But let's not mistake courage and self-respect for badassism. You guys all
think you have courage and self-respect, but don't forget: no such thing as courage without
risk. No such thing as self-respect without
acting on it.
And you keep talking this nonsense about 7 to 1. C'mon, this isn't a cage fight. this guy had all kinds of outs to this situation. Walk you through it? No problem:
1. Room full of college aged whiteboys, I would've been expecting some sort of problem from the jump. Not to be a bigot, but I know american culture and the culture of college aged whiteboys too well to be off my guard like that.
2. Calmly confront them from the first comment, prepared and knowing how you will handle whatever reaction. Bullies savor an emotional response, fear or anger. Calmly confront them and let them "represent". And don't forget to record it, so you have a record of the incident, a record of what went down in case, er, they beat you up ... or something
3. Expose their antics to the authorities in no uncertain terms and apply for a room transfer so you don't have to worry about them putting shit in your food and on your toothbrush, stuff like that..
4. If they had pursued a problem from there, they would have a serious problem on their hands. I'm no badass, but let me put that out there so that people who think like me know that they're not alone in their thinking. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
In short, I wouldn't want to live with them, in fact I'd do all I can to get them kicked out of the school. But if they didn't, I sure wouldn't be tiptoeing around them on campus. And I sure wouldn't simply take shit. There would indeed be blowback.
And stop making stupid false comparisons to slavery or the holocaust. Those are extremely weak analogues at best.
btw, I've deliberately written this without making any reference to violence.
