Cream is the sort of person who will let you know if you're making statements that don't contribute to acceptance of non-binary people in society at large, or judging them unfairly, or using the wrong pronouns.  This is based on a lifetime of personal experience in how much it hurts when people mistreat you over superficial differences.  I think someone like that is guaranteed to act charitably when they encounter someone like Huelen who only wants to take part in polite conversation.  Resolving differences and gaining a better understanding of each other is at the forefront of what Cream is all about.

I’ve made it pretty clear that I believe Huelen to be a petty fake, and not actually solely interested in polite conversation.

There are a lot of people who believe non-binary people are faking as well.  The world is a much better place when we take people at their word and accept that whatever they are going through is genuine.

You’re right.  This is actually a really good point and I’m sorry for jumping down her throat

Not really interested in getting pulled into this, but while I haven't really interacted with Huelen, well, ever, and while I mostly avoid what has turned into a trash heap of a thread, from the things I have come across, I don't think she has ever indicated herself to be the type of person you think she is?

Could it be that in the heat of getting dog-piled and being treated with the same underlying behavior that many of those same people obliviously and unironically turn their nose up at Resetera for engaging in, that you vacuumed her up and placed her into the same trash heap as the rest and maybe shouldn't have?

Thats a pretty big BUT wouldn't you say?


The main reason black people stay poor is because of capitalism's poverty cycle, generations upon generations of trailer park whites and ghetto blacks continue to be poor because capitalism is a shitty system that unlike the bullshit being spoonfed to Americans doesn't really give opportunities to the the vast majority of people. This is why despite the endless liberal bragging about the first black president the neoliberal shill didn't do shit about black communities. He couldn't, in order to do that he would have to do some serious damage to capitalism and the ruling class he worked for.

I would take any number of issues with that simple narrative or the assertions made on top of them, but that is sort of irrelevant to the point about whether race is currently a major life advantage in America or not.

Fact is if you are white you are much more likely to be born into a higher income household and/or a household with access to any number of life advantages.

Maybe dissolving capitalism into whatever vague economic system you think will bring on the coming utopia is the best path to eliminating that advantage/disadvantage, but in 2018 America, being white, in the aggregate, provides a much greater probability to be born into advantage and being white provides numerous advantages throughout the life cycle.


No, race isn't a major life advantage, income is. The fact that you have to talk about income to prove that race is important proves that by far the biggest issue here is income. High poverty rates result in crime, broken families, lower education and marginalization worldwide, income is the fucking key to everything and explains most of the statistics. Furthermore, bitching about a vague systemic racism that is keeping blacks down won't do jack shit for black people.

 The economic system you support by voting for corporate shills like Obama and Clinton is what is keeping blacks down, the complaints you and people like you have are nothing but superficial posturing and result in a big fat nothing. The best you can offer is third rate treatment for the symptoms instead of focusing on the root of the problem. And of course you won't focus on the problem, you're part of it.

Welcome to your journey into the initially frightening but altogether necessary realm of differing opinions and worldviews. It's not all that dissimilar to the real world, where you will in fact run into all sorts of people with all sorts of political affiliations, some of which may not align with your own. Personally, I've made it very, very clear about what I think of the current WH admin, but when I, too, leave the house and go out into the world, I meet people who voted for this and in some cases still support this on a daily basis, and so far...yep, no brawls or shootouts or nuclear explosions yet.

On the contrary, I've never met anyone proclaiming to be alt-right face to face that I can recall. I've been in proximity when the fellow residents of my city kicked a pack of proper Neo-Nazis out of town when they rode in, heavily armed, to try to stop a memorial to Black Texan Veterans from being unveiled on the Capitol grounds, and I've recoiled in disgust at the photos showing the Nazi flag hanging proudly not too far from here at College Station the day after the election, but let's be perfectly clear: "Alt-Right" is an internal rebrand for Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists. Voting Republican doesn't make you Alt-Right. Being conservative doesn't make you Alt-Right. Saying something you disagree with doesn't make the other person Alt-Right. Lulzing at the latest Twitter drama that now constitutes standard fare for a Superpower might be misanthropic, or it could just as easily be highlighting the absurdity of our times. I dunno. I could probably find out by having a conversation instead of whining metacommentary and dismissing them as evil.

This alt-right labeling has become overused to the point where it's lost meaning, which is probably a big win for the folks who came up with it and just another way that political discourse has eroded into hyper-partisan us vs them, with us or against us, dehumanizing drivel.

Nazis and their ilk aren't welcome here and have never been welcome here. Nazis belong in the ground and in history books, most of the world seemed to agree on a few generations back, and my grandparents had to live through that hell on earth and knock off their fair share of the fuckers for me to be here typing this post. You're not on a damned alt-right message board.

Someone you disagree with or dislike or find little value in on NeoGAF...they're probably not Alt-Right.

I've met hundreds of single issue voters since the election who were otherwise reasonable, affable people, maybe until politics entered the equation. In those instances you're unlikely to get anywhere productive.

That's the beauty of good ol' NeoGAF. We can get into proper debate and bring out quotes, facts, supporting documents, and long-form compelling arguments that aren't polite or appropriate avenues most of the time out in the world, from vastly different perspectives at all corners of the world, while still treating each other with a modicum of decency and humanity. Let's do more of that and less pigeonholing and namecalling. Thanks.

And race is a probabilistic component of the family you are born into, and white families are more likely to be economically and geographically positioned. You acknowledged this before you clawed back on it.

And the historical structural advantages that white people have established for themselves over the last 300 years, in the aggregate, often gives white people a leg up in many aspects of life. Which I gave examples of on the other page.

This will apparently remain the case until we get to your capitalism-less utopia you promise. In the meantime, whether you think the root of this disparity and the cause of these identifiable advantages is capitalism, that advantage exists presently. And by all accounts it is a notable one in the aggregate.

Actually, it was a very well-intentioned olive branch extended to talk out their differences since they live in the same city and have had beneficial discussions before.   I guess offering to pay for dinner and have a dialogue is considered a threat to the socially inept.  ;)
