Moments of Permanence - On differences in oppression, derailment, and the hierarchies of hurt

For every good point made there's ten self-indulgent rants, witty perhaps but insubstantial or counter-productive, one hundred idiotic comments and one thousand blind agreements [snip semi-witty self-indulgent rant]

Was there any point to these rants beyond "just cause I'm a white guy doesn't mean I don't have issues too" and "people overanalyze and rant too much without really thinking about what they're saying"? Because if so surely you could have explained it better in your original post then this banal comment.

*sigh* Totally over internet wank about minority politics.

You know what I'm totally over dude? People like you saying they're sick of reading crappy long rants. If you're sick of it stop reading.

"Was there any point to these rants beyond "just cause I'm a white guy doesn't mean I don't have issues too""

If that's my only point there's a problem, because that's not part of my point at all as far as I'm concerned.

"If you're sick of it stop reading."

I stopped reading "it" over a month ago. It's a complete waste of time.
