everyone in here having a vastly different definition of SJW

just admit it means nothing already, you guys

I haven't been called an SJW yet. I have been called "very liberal" (when I'm more of a moderate) for defending BLM, and that's about it.

well, a lot of people who are just racist like to trot this out for all occasions regardless of how hateful they're being. so it's complicated.

I never thought of POC as SJW only white people.

Not white Atrlers running in here putting their two cents in where it doesn't belong

OT: YES

The language you wrote this comment in itself. The laws and values you're surrended by - liberation of women and legality of LGBT community with rights equal to straight people in most western countries (I know we have a lot of work to do but it's still better in other parts of the globe). Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Frédéric Chopin, Homer, William Shakespeare etc.. The Acropolis, The Colosseum, The Eiffel Tower, St. Peter's Basilica... Ballet, classical music, theatre... I am supposed to go on or that's enough for you?

OT: There is a big difference between SJWs and actual equal rights activists. SJWs are people doing shitstorm of the littlest things that are irrelevant and in the meanwhile gays, black people and other minorities are killed on the streets.

SJWs are as judgemental as racists/xenophobes/homophobes hating on every other social group isn't their supported minority. They have no actual knowledge - they are senselessly repeating statements from tumblr posts that are far from scientific/historical truth.

!! I mean damn can they back off for a quick sec

Anyways, I'm a black woman so I think I'm automatically seen as an SJW. I don't care because everyone who gives a **** about social change are called SJWs.

Omg you just made a list of all the topics I fell asleep during in school

and no, people get called SJWs simply for caring and speaking out. Only when y'all get called out for the way you use the term do you start to act like you only use it to refer to extremists and totally delusional, unreasonable people. The truth is, y'all use it to refer to anyone who talks about social change a lot.

Yes. Especially by the moronic twinks that poison this forum with their close-minded B.S.

Nobody has ever called me an SJW before, so no, I'm not tired of it lol.

And I call a lot of people SJWs, but I call them an SJW if they say something like "All men are rapists" or "All white people are evil" or "All muslims are homophobic". I don't care what color they are, I care about their actions. Most of the people I've called SJWs are probably white.

If you don't say stupid and bigoted things, you won't get called an SJW.

I'm socially conscious as well.

Examples of things a socially conscious person says:

"People who discriminate against another race are racist"
"People with darker skin generally have a harder time in life than people with lighter skin"
"We need to treat all humans as equals and ignore their race and gender"
"All humans should have equal opportunities in life"

Examples of things an SJW says:

"All white people are racist, even white babies"
"White people need to give all their money and careers to black people to even out slavery"
"We need to put all humans into categories and give people in certain categories preferential treatment"
"All humans should have equal outcomes in life"

Then I don't know if I have to be sad for you or just laugh at level of your education I can also make a list of things like current/electricity, telephones and laptops/computers. Pretty sure those don't make you asleep

I think that we have pretty different meanings of people "speaking out and caring" and being "delusional and unreasonable"

!!!

what rights do racial minorities not have in the Western world? because a lot of the issues I see/hear seem to be based on individual situations with people not institutional issues or governmental. and while police brutality is an issue, its not one that affects only minorities

Either way you'd look a mess because most people these days (especially school kids), regardless of education level couldn't give too many ****s about Shakespeare n dem

I mean girl you shoulda done that in the first place. I don't know who you thought you were impressing with that list. Were we supposed to swoon at all that "white culture"?

This is funny to me, because while black people didn't invent these things, they made them significantly better. Lewis Latimer, Henry Sampson, and Philip Emeagwali all say hi.

There is a difference between education level of a person and education level their school provides them. You just have said you slept through/don't know **** about like 60% of teaching program at school, that makes your education level and any person who would claim the same look pretty much laughable. Simple as that

Well I guess people of many races who also like to read something more ambitious than internet forums and social media "give **** about Shakespeare n dem" especially considering they are a blueprint for today's literature


Well, the good sis simply asked to define "white culture". I don't have to impress anyone with "white culture", really. But you're right - something like "white culture" don't exist because each of "white" European countries has it own culture. With their own language, native religion, literature, art, inventions, food and customs (like pretty much every other African, Asian or South American country)... What do your community has out of those ?


GTFO with that petty shade. Sorry but mostly white people developed techology we have today with Asian and Arabic contributions, no matter how much you try to twist it
