Why do people get annoyed at people who care about minority social issues?

I highly doubt it would happen to me but I find it very upsetting that it's something other people have to worry about and that so many people are as indifferent as they are.

My only beef with this thread and its 86 other off chutes is why do we keep having the same topic overand over when its obvious its not really pertinent to the majority of ppl that post here.Don't take that the wrong way Jen,its just the same type rants over and over from everyone (myself included) It becomes a snoozefest and its quite obvious that it effects only two fingers worth of posters.(Myself not included, because Im a flat chested beaner.)

If it makes people feel better, I'll stay out of this thread. Didnt realize we had so many sensitive members when it comes to a topic that doesn't effect any of them.

I don't see point at getting annoyed at Ki for participating in this thread when the part of the thread title is "Why do people get annoyed...?" I think we can equally ask "Why do people get annoyed at people who have a minority (or less popular) opinion about social issues?" I don't think Ki should be treated like a second class citizen for his opinions or his approach to the issues.

But he is not offering any mature responses. He is complaining about the creation of the thread not the topic itself and there is a difference.

If he doesn't care about the topic than its pointless for him to keep coming back in the thread with the same b.s.

That's the point of the thread though- to boil it down instead of turning yourself off to the issue and attempting to discredit the discussion why doesn't it effect you that others are being discriminated against?

I'm not sure how anyone could infer that much from your original post.

The second part came from what I wanted to say at the moment that you responded. The first part of my post was what I was going for with my first post.

The law enfrocement/police is all apart of that. I think a part of the reason why they are oblivious is because they don't experience racism on the same level as minorities. They dont have to worry about being racially profiled or being held back from their raise because of the color of their skin because they are born with white privilege.

the bolded text highlights one of the reasons why you run into hostile responses. you think about "race" like it's one single entity. like white people collectively share the guilt and actions of the white race. as if we were a colony of ants. people don't work that way.
