Reading this gave me a headache.
Here's an idea; stop lumping all white people into your stupid little rant. It's racist as all get out, and as a white woman, you don't get to speak for me.
You didn't choose your skin color, no one does. Why anyone should feel bad about it is beyond me. I am so sick of this "woke" b.s. You all need to move on, the virtue signaling bank needs a new topic.

I think this says a little:
“(11) Mass shootings and other hate crimes motivated by white supremacy have been increasing in frequency and intensity. These heinous and virulent crimes are inspired by conspiracy theories, blatant bigotry, and mythical falsehoods such as “replacement theory”. All instances must be prevented and severe criminal penalties must be applied to their perpetrators.”.
OP LINK
It's a double push..."mass shootings"..."conspiracy theories"..."replacement theory"...etc...
That covers it for me...the ultimate agenda!

Anyone who has imbibed that particular brand of ideology gets their jollies both by feeling miserable and then by pointing out how awful it is that others are not as virtuously miserable as they are.

No. I don't feel bad about it.
Why? *I* didn't do it, and I never will.
What I did was the responsible thing - I learned about it, so I won't do it, but it is not incumbent upon me to feel any particular emotion about those things because I am one race or another. It's like saying that anyone who has brown hair ought to feel bad about all the thing Hitler did because they are brunette too like him.

One can feel bad for actions of others without lumping themselves into that category. You and I had absolutely nothing to do with any of those things, yet you think that we should feel guilty for the actions of others? By that logic you should feel guilty for anyone that gets shot by some random person, a store that gets robbed, a family that loses their home due to the actions of someone else. These things all have one thing in common, none of them had anything at all to do with you.
P.S. Does it make you feel good about yourself to talk down to everyone in the world? Are you really that self conscious about yourself that you feel the need to belittle everyone who has the opposing view to yours? If you think that little about the rest of the world that you are just negative and downright rude to anyone who isn't you, then why even comment or talk to anyone?

There is never going to be an "equal community".

The dichotomy of control. In my clinical work, this Stoic idea stands out as being of the most obvious value. According to the Stoics, we need to let go of the idea that we have direct, complete control over many of the things that concern us, such as what other people think about us, what happened in the past, and even what might happen in the future. All we have direct control over, according to the Stoics, are how we think about things and what we voluntarily do. Life will go much more smoothly if we focus only on these. For example, suppose you are worried that you have upset a colleague. Instead of spending hours overthinking the situation, reflect on whether there is something helpful you can do. A good Stoic would probably pick up the phone and speak to their colleague. They would certainly not get caught up in fruitless hours of worry or self-recrimination.
