        The issue is that minorities are actually advocating for segregation.  The same thing they battled to get rid off.  And by some sort of twisted logic, they don't see it as segregation.

        @bob5678:

        Who cares? Whites have had a safe space in this country for 240 years…

        And some of them rallied with the black, asian, native and latino people in order to all share a space, a safe space called a 'country'.  But now, these same minorities want to shut the whites out, allegedly on their need to be 'safe' from them.  In this times of political correctness they are being pandered to and basically being pampered by the same 'whites' they so claim they need protection from.  On the other side if cisgender, male white people where to ask for the same 'safe spaces' they would be immediately labeled as racists, chauvinists and neanderthals.

        And believe me, it goes first against the biggest group (whites in the USA case) but then it deviates into hating anyone not like you. Blacks hating on latinos, latinos hating on asians, asians hating on blacks and so forth. (And I'm just using races here, add sexual orientations/identities, even religions… and it just turns into a mess)

          I do ignore the content but I still have to scroll through all the crap to see any interesting posts from decent members

          Umm, there are aren't that many of these topics.

          And who the hell do you think you are to judge who is "decent" or not?!

            No isn't the same thing. A country of people =/= SJWs. Are you serious?

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence

            "A common way for this fallacy to be perpetuated is one shared trait between two subjects is assumed to show equivalence, especially in order of magnitude, when equivalence is not necessarily the logical result. False equivalence is a common result when an anecdotal similarity is pointed out as equal, but the claim of equivalence doesn't bear because the similarity is based on oversimplification or ignorance of additional factors. The pattern of the fallacy is often as such: "If A is the set of c and d, and B is the set of d and e, then since they both contain d, A and B are equal". d is not required to exist in both sets; only a passing similarity is required to cause this fallacy to be able to be used."

            "I only ever see SJWs on the internet so they must not exist"

            vs

            "I only see Americans on the Internet so they must not exist".

            Both are the same, except for the subject.

            We both know that both groups exist because how else would they be on the internet and in news articles.

              I think barring white students from at least two locations that 40% of them have probably never heard of/or been to just might be a restriction they can live with.

              Ok, so I'm sure you would be fine with an equal number of locations that only white students could go right?

                Claremont McKenna College creates a "safe space" where students can be free from white people

                So far these 'safe spaces' have included such highly trafficked areas of Claremont as the Motley Coffeehouse sitting room and ASCMC's office annex.

                 

                I think barring white students from at least two locations that 40% of them have probably never heard of/or been to just might be a restriction they can live with.

                Imagine the outrage if anyone even attempted to get a White only student group on campus.   It would be called racist by the other single race student groups.   You know, racial equality and all that.

                  I HAVE NEVER SAID SJWS DON'T EXIST. WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT? THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING!

                    Vocal Minority? To be honest, the only time I EVER hear about SJWs is when other people on the internet complain about them.

                    That is what you said.

                    Where in that statement do yo admit they exist?  Nowhere.

                    You want people to think SJWs only exist in the minds of those that complain about them.

                      Sjws are the worst happening of the century. This is literally eugenics.

                        I see nothing wrong with it. There needs to be spaces where we don't have to worry about people saying/doing stupid crap just because they don't understand and/or don't want to understand anything about our culture. White students wore blackface (something used to negatively impact black intellect and black identity) at quite a few parties when I was in college and said problematic crap all the time about black students, but being a part of multiple black student groups on-campus made me feel better about having to go to school with such racist disgusting people who only wanted to mock my blackness and insult me and people like me. It's either create spaces for us to avoid people who mock and harass us constantly or we'll be forced to protect ourselves. I shouldn't have to see you wear blackface at a public institution where I have to pay tuition at just like you. How is that fair? And if one more white person touches my hair without permission, I'm taking it as assault and you're getting punched. This is why we need safe spaces, we have no right to our own bodies anymore.

                          As someone who is black, I think it's sad that theres people who see nothing wrong with this.
                          And I have no idea where the above person went to school that white people apparently treat him like a circus monkey, but I haven't known anyone to do that.

                          In any case, I don't care what kind of discrimination you think you're facing. It's nothing compared to what it was 60 years ago and they didn't have "Safe spaces" back then. All this does is promote minorities to staying in their own little bubble, which is only gonna hurt them in the long run when they realize to obtain any kind of success in the real world they're going to have to step out of it eventually. Not going to get very far in this country without interacting with white people.

                            What? So I have to admit everything exists before I talk about them? Where did you admit that Trump exists? Nowhere.

                            This is ridiculous. Stop making strawmen to argue against because I never said SJWs exist. It's really not that hard man.

                              Ok, so we have people that see nothing wrong with it.   I wonder if they are also fine with WHITE ONLY spaces?    Or are they anti-white racists who believe that the other races deserve special rights.

                              Forcing white people to walk through a creek so they can get to class shows just how anti-white racist college campuses are getting.    If white did that to anyother race, it wouldn't be allowed.  The police would have broken it up and arrested people, if it was anything other than anti-white.

                              Social media actively bans people for "wrong think"; ie anyone who's to the right.     YouTube lets black supremacists, who advocate violence against whites, to stay.  Yet they do not allow white supremacists to stay.   Twitter explained why it bans for things like #KillAllBlacks, but not #KillAllWhite with some mental gymnastics/apologetics about social justice.   Facebook has done the same.

                              White hating has become a virtue in the West.

                                Seriously, go back through the various threads we've talked about this in.  If you are honest, you have portrayed SJWs are mythical beasts that only exist in the minds of the evil right's minds.

                                I peronally saw Trump years ago while I was in Atlantic City.      He was about 15 feet away from me, as he walked by.

                                    Who said GT.ru is a "safe space" like the SJWs want?    We don't ban people because of their race, political leanings, etc.    We ban for their personal actions on the site.

                                    We are not social media that bans for "wrong think".    You can speak your mind here, as long as you aren't just name calling.    Derailing a conversation, to complain about the topic or individual posters, could also get you in trouble.

                                      Wow get a grip on yourself. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy in MY OPINION.

                                      You threatening me with getting into trouble because you don't understand or like my comment  is really completely out of line. Let me tell you that you can't get me into trouble, if I can not speak my mind and have to follow your orders on this forum, have fun with that, I will not be part of such a forum.

                                      Talking about the "existence" of SJW's and acting the same way as you accuse them of. That kind of hypocrisy I'm talking about. Completely ridiculous.

                                        Disagree what you like, but that is my opinion, regardless of the differences you might see/want to throw at it.

                                          Where did I threaten you?   No where did I say anything about punishing your for your comment.   I think you read way too much into what I said.

                                          My reply was a fact based response to your comment.   We are not your favorite social media sites that punish for "wrong think" or being politically incorrect.

                                          Unlike social media, we treat white supremacists, black supremacists and any other supremacists the same.
