As a white I have been waiting a lifetime for a slur that actually hurts. I truly believe its impossible. The world really was meant for us. Everyone else is just a bunch of jealous freeloaders. I didn’t make it that way. Sorry?

Slurs only hurt when you're insecure about something. Schoolyard bullies will try to pick out something you're insecure about such as your height or hair color or deadbeat dad and use it against you. When slurs don't actually hit on anything you're insecure about, they're ineffective.

I'm white but I've never identified as white... my race is completely out of sight and out of mind for me, so calling me an anti-white slur is meaningless to me. If you mocked my thinning hair I might be a little sensitive about it though.

The challenge for the black community is understanding that they were raised by society that explicitly wants them to be insecure about their race. This is done by different people for different reasons, some of them political. The first step to escaping this is to move beyond race and adopt an identity based on something that actually matters rather than the color of your skin.

It amuses me when they attack white supremacy. I know what it means, but the phrase itself just makes me chuckle and wonder who is supposed to feel bothered by that.

Suggesting that race doesn’t matter destroys all of your reasonable arguments. Race predetermines and affects all other outcomes regardless of societal influences.

Blacks need to remember that they are black, and start from there — just as you do as a man with male pattern baldness. You both have genetic disadvantages that must be accepted and overcome to compete in society and live a healthy life.

Balding in caucasian males is a genetic precursor that is influenced by environmental pressures. As you are a balding male, I am sure that you’re well aware of the intrinsic challenges that you face that many are ignorant of. By your logic, you should just be able to ignore it and it will stop affecting you. Yet it does.

This worldview is basically a different side of the same coin as the Left; in-fact, I'd wager you probably adopted your position over the last 5-10 years as a reaction to the Left.

Someone's race and my thinning hair don't matter. The insecurity comes from thinking they do. Self-improvement is realizing they don't and understanding what really does matter... your personal character, self-discipline, the way you treat others, your honesty and integrity, just to name a few. It is important to understand and come to terms with your own nature so you can face it head-on, but everyone is battling their own demons and it's how you deal with those demons that defines you, not the deck you were dealt with at the start.

Understanding who you are may include understanding your parents, grandparents and ancestry, but don't think that just because society puts you in a poorly defined group called "race" (a term with multiple definitions and no scientific specificity) that your identity -- who you are as a person, your character, your value as a human being -- is somehow tied to your race.

Blacks need to remember that they are black, and start from there — just as you do as a man with male pattern baldness. You both have genetic disadvantages that must be accepted and overcome to compete in society and live a healthy life.

Who says it's a genetic disadvantage?

You have a bad temper and it's easy to set you off. Do you blame this on being white, or do you just deal with it, understanding it's one of the cards you were dealt? Attributing it to being white does absolutely nothing for you. The same is true whether you have a history of suicide in your family, have trouble opening up to people, get jealous quickly, get uncontrollably obsessive over small details, suffer from crippling apathy, have trouble adapting to social settings, suffer from addiction, and so on.

By your logic, you should just be able to ignore it and it will stop affecting you.

It makes no difference whether I ignore it or not. Whether I'm bald or not is irrelevant to my value as a person. The same is true for my race.

Ask 10 women if they think its irrelevant. I believe you’ve arrived at your position as a cope, and you’re projecting. You want to believe because you’re personally invested and affected. Thats a perfectly natural reaction, but its a subjective reality.
