Mostly because the roots of every discrimination are basically the same, and if you focus on only one aspect of it, you will not succeed no matter how much progress you think you’re making. For example, both racism and misogyny is based on the old entitlement, on the old white men’s unearned sense of superiority, and if you don’t target that, you will never have an egalitarian society, even if you make them pretend that they aren’t overtly misogynistic anymore. It’s like TERFs teaming up with white supremacists to harass trans people, only to be incredibly surprised that white supremacists hate women too.
Kinda sounds like in that example, the reason for humans that are not white old men to be racist is those white old men. Sorry if I’m being ignorant here, but I always though racism is common among every demographic. I though it’s more of a thing that’s imprinted onto you and just not challenged because you don’t interact with enough people you have prejudices against. I don’t want to misrepresent your point, but from what I see, a racist black woman can exist without the white man to be the reason for that
And if we were living in the black matriarchy, we would be having a different conversation. But we live in the white patriarchy, so we are having this one.
But regardless, sexism, racism, homophobia, and every other types of descrimination have basically the same root, so there is no real way to get rid of one without getting rid of the rest.
Sorry, I’m just not that informed on that subject, but what is the same root? The old white men? So if we locked all of them up we would be living in a utopia?
Lmfao, and I get called obtuse… How about do even the most superficial research in to racism and sexism and why they exist before you demand other people do the work for you, that you promptly disregard to continue pushing your own deliberate misunderstanding of the subject you clearly care so little about ? Sealions be sealioning, while those who can spot you miles away and refuse to feed your bullshit get called obtuse…
