You think society isn't telling white people and indeed, all people, to make tragedy and horror banal and mundane on a daily basis? You think we somehow need more training in how to make ourselves immune to recognizing suffering in others and how it's wrong, and why we need to stop causing it and remember it so that we don't fucking do it again? We don't, especially not here in the U.S. We really, really don't. In fact, we need the opposite.
Here via glass_icarus - yeah, the above was kind of the central wtf? bit of her argument for me - that and the fact she's trying to argue that for her "politically correct" = "oppressive voice of mainstream 60's culture against poor oppressed hippies", which just, what? We've kind of moved on from there, honey. I have a note for her: stop using the term "politically correct" to describe people (often people of colour) who are trying to point out you are being an asshole on the Internets. Then you won't get confused with your halcyon days fighting The Man on the barricades of Haight-Ashbury.
