educating right now, but everything you said I've said almost verbatim in a thousand conversations, and that's honestly just scratching the surface of this mess.

However I don't know how anything I wrote suggested in any way someone was bound to be oppressed. I'm not that thorough an anthropologist to even try to make that claim. On some guns germs and steel shit? Dude, yeah I guess the world is rich with history of ppl trying to oppress each other, but I still like to think NONE of that had to happen.

But yeah, even tho it has nothing to do with my posts in here, you could definitely say white people lucked out. Like white people born today? Or the white people who kicked this racial shitstorm off?

Either way, compared to plenty of other ppl of other races, yeah id say its safe to say both versions of white ppl lucked out in the racial lottery. I'm open to other angles on that. Where did I suggest any of this though?

Do you mean luck instead of culpability? I mean, I think the Nazis (not counting those who were forced into battle) were both lucky to meet Hitler's ethnic standards and culpable for what they did.

Luck doesn't delete culpability. You can be given the best ability to hurt someone, doesn't mean you have to hurt them.

How did we even get onto this? I need to sleep
