You all completely discredited a point any reasonable person would agree with simply because of how it was worded. This should show you how language affects our political beliefs.
It is OBJECTIVELY untrue to claim that black people are the most oppressed in American history.

“someone had it worse than you so you can’t complain.” Such a useless take.

Where did I ever say black people cant or shouldn’t complain? It’s very easy to disagree with a point you made up in your own head.

I’m confused. What’s the point of going “it’s not the worst” if not to imply that they should be grateful it’s not the worst? What’s the point of mentioning it at all? If something sucks then just say it sucks. Why do you feel the need to say “well that sucks but it’s not AS bad for you as it is for others”? What does that accomplish here lmao

If an objective fact can be so widely disagreed with purely because of how it is articulated, what should you be careful to do with your arguments going forward?

As someone replied to you “it’s not the oppression olympics.” It’s not because it’s an “objective fact” it’s because you’re trying to say “black people didn’t have it AS bad as someone else”it’s not because of “how it was articulated” it’s because the point of your comment is shitty. You’re just unable to read what people are saying.

So you think it’s wrong to rank oppression? So it would be wrong to say that blacks are the most oppressed? So my original post was correct in your eyes?
