Ku Klux Klan donation account suspended by PayPal - PayPal suspended an account used to raise funds by one of the US's largest white supremacist groups six days after it was first flagged by an anti-bigotry campaigner.

I want you to take a moment and think. Why do things like say lgbt pride parades exist, why is there black history month or bet , why is black power okay? That's because all of these share something in common. The purpose of each one is to celebrate that it's okay for them to exist because literally society itself has demonized them, because society has made a mockery of them, because society has literally done everything in its power to kill,torture, and hurt them physically and mentality just for being who they are. You won't ever understand this till you have been in their shoes.

How is having double standards fair and how does this benefit me? How can white people ever look out for their own self interest if every time you will point to historical grievances from the past. It will never end. There will never be enough groveling because you will just point out to minorities being oppressed. Why should that stop me from looking out for my own self interest?

The reason why stupid shit like straight pride parades, white power,or the white history month nonsense gets so much hate is because the most common thing between these i that You have no reason to celebrate or to be proud or even need these society has always accepted you and will continue to do so that's why you don't need a white history month because every day is white history month, it's why you don't need a straight pride month because everyday is straight pride month, it's why you don't have a WET because every channel is WET . The second reason is that There's always a underlying hate filled reason for these. Straight pride parades are often by folk that are racist and hate the LGBT, White power literally has been used by people like the KKK and other racists as a display of superiority and hate rather than actual pride.

Yes I get that you buy into the concept of intersectionality and holding white people culpable for past crimes. Why should this collective blame you place on white people matter to us? You want us silenced, and hated and hold minorities to a different standard. I want whats in our best interest. We have different priorities.
