So I just learned something very important on this website, and something I’ll clarify for all of you, due to the sensitivity of the topic and the discourse surrounding it.
It can be easy to get heated in a discussion on the internet (this is nothing new to anyone who peruses it enough). However, when reading posts, please do not apply, or jump to conclusions, about what I say or what someone else says, based on a small text post. A couple people:
barbreyryswellsopus-pocus
cuttlefishculler
notjustacookie
These users raise points but not ones I stated or said ( I recommend you look at the posts, for they will surely provide additional context). Unless it’s logically sound to jump to results like the ones made, it’s entirely inappropriate to make such conclusions.The posts I make are romantic in nature, for they rely on the reader to grasp at a larger potential idea or reality that is not currently or might not ever become realistic. You shouldn’t, for your own peace of mind and also mine, jump to severely negative conclusions based on the small bits of text posted on this website.
I will not standby regardless of race, class, or any symbolic affiliation, and let you slander a certain group or individual if it can be appropriately resolved. This is not because I’m a privileged upper class white (a notion towards our society’s quickness at throwing us all into different categories), but because my personal moral and anthropological code restricts me from cowardly observation (codes I adopted from my “privilege”).
Anthropology in the contemporary, has a concern with ethnocentric views, primarily from a white-male origin. Does this mean the “white male” should be treated differently because of a past he took no part in? Doesn’t this simply re-apply what other classes and races and genders are fighting against? Would you really fight the battle by stooping to the same level? So be it, I’ll watch, and write about it.
So much respect for this dude.
