I totally agree. One little problem though, I am an old white man. I will tell myself to STFU.
Knud JahnkeI think we will gain from listening more and talking less. So I would second this!

Jason Stuart@amorablackrose They don't even have to be old.
Perrin42Are we destined to be ruled
By a bunch of old white men
Who compare the world to football
And are programmed to defend?
I'd like to try a princess
Or a non-terrestrial
Who is neither boast- nor bashful
Is there really such a girl?
Only time will tell...

Alakest@amorablackrose Respectfully I'll say basing your decision on who to listen to on such characteristics doesn't have a good track record.
Rob van Kan🔻@alakest @amorablackrose @JustRobForNow Missing the point completely. Old white men rule the world. Trump, Putin, Orban, Netanyahu. Old white men run the media. Old white men call the shots.
They are shaping the world in which young people must try to survive. And they're making a godawful mess of it, all the while thumping their own chest like they're God's gift to mankind.
I'm a 56 year old white man and I can see what she means. I have heard enough of old white men myself.

I agree on a certain level.
It is one thing to notice that all these despicable people are white.
It is another to say they are despicable BECAUSE they're white.
You are then adopting the thought process of the fascists which is what I was alluding to. Would you not listen to Bernie Sanders because he's white? Would you give an open forum to Xi Jinping or Kim Jong Un because they're not white?
Unregulated capitalism is the problem more than skin colour.

@JustRobForNow @alakest @amorablackrose Nobody said that they are despicable because they are white. Nobody even said they were despicable in the first place.
It's simply time to hear what someone else has to say.

@edgeofeurope @amorablackrose @JustRobForNow How much more gently do you suggest I put it? Or would you rather I not say anything?
Are you suggesting listen to people based on their appearance has a defensible track record?
Take a look at my posts in general, then make an assessment of whether I'm missing the point.
@edgeofeurope @amorablackrose @JustRobForNow Do they put that technique in the "Big Book of Trolling"? Telling people what feelings to have?
Maybe I should smile more and then people would like me?
<rolls up sleeves> People see you from a mile off. Let's go!

I'll keep my opinion of your post to myself then. You might try rephrasing this in your head with differing genders, ages & races as a guide to what sort of person would hold this type of sentiment.
What sort of person prejudges others based on demographics?
It's like judging them solely on their face. Hmm a faceist, fasciaist....something. I don't know. 🙂
