The Straight Pride Parade

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

It's not that some people have more melanin in their skin than others, it's that so many people judge someone based on how much melanin is in their skin. :?

It's literally nuts. Irrational. Sometimes I feel like standing on my roof and screaming at people to stop being crazy, which is probably not exactly a sign of sanity in itself.

If anybody needs me, I'll be under my bed, deciding how to rule my loyal subjects.

This reminds me of a line I read on Facebook (yes, I'm going to be your barely-tech-literate grandma for a moment):

'There's no "Straight Pride", for the same reason we don't have soup kitchens for the rich'.

I can't fault this logic. But I bet one of y'all can.

It's more like how power structures favor certain people over the over. Left and right.

Only in that now there might be a straight pride parade.

I'm afraid we're gonna need CmdrKing for an adequate assessment of that comment.

Well I think that that (as well as the gender difference ambiguity in the other thread) just kinda serves as stewing that allows for toxic judgements coagulate. A bit fallacious I would agree, but understandable to a certain extent.
