"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Did you come under the impression that mocking people was ok before, or after, your transformation ?

Let’s put it this way; if white cis men hadn’t spent the last couple hundred years oppressing and murdering gay, black, native, trans people then we wouldn’t need pride parades.  They exist because for most of this country’s history being proud of being gay or black or trans was likely to get you murdered.

Your point would have been better made without the wild exaggeration.

Hahhaha which bit was wildly exaggerated?  I undersold the truth of white Americans’ interactions with the minorities they oppressed.

What part is exaggerated? “Likely to get you murdered?” That I’d say is exaggerated, but it ‘could’ get you murdered, and it would almost certainly get you bullied and shunned by society as a whole. Good chance you’d be disowned by your own family.

I’m gonna need you to be more specific in your criticism. I don’t expect you to give a quality response, though. But if you could clarify what you mean, that would help me explain myself.

Are you complaining that I’d mock “proud white men?”

If you ignore the entire history of this country until like 1970 you could maybe make the case you weren’t pretty likely to be murdered for going out and stating your pride as a gay man or a trans person.

There’s a regular in this board who often fantasizes about brutalizing and murdering trans people in 2023 and nobody but me and Tempo even call it out.

As a thought exercise, who were the most prominent black civil rights activists and what happened to them?  How about gay activists?

That you would gladly mock people.
But I thought that was fairly obvious.

And your words were "proud of being white".

Product of reading, watching, and listening to conservative media.

It's like complaining there is no white history month. That sort of thing has traction.
Are you suggesting that if I read, watched and listened to liberal media that I would find mocking people more acceptable ?

Oh, we’re parsing words now. So what’s your beef exactly? We shouldn’t mock racists? Is that your point?

Sorry, is the "why is white pride not okay" victimhood thing not mockery of oppressed groups?

It definitely is.

We shouldn’t mock racist people, that’s as bad as being racist!

I’m about 99.9% sure Mn is one of those people who thinks racism only really exists if we “talk about it.”
