WOOLWORTH'S LUNCH COUNTER PROTEST

A world where only white people were welcome at Woolworth's lunch counter. Unthinkable, but not so long ago it was the reality. Blacks were second class citizens, and as late as 1960, everyone simply accepted the injustice. A small but growing group of citizens eventually helped to forever end the shameful practice of segregated lunch counters.

now ask yourself is 'entitlement' a functional behavior? who does it help ? hinder? comparitively? is it progressive or passive aggressive? what supports these conclusions and have they been skeptically analyzed or rhetorically advocated.... entitlement is a statisically and intellectual hinderance to society...

[fannynoise]

@Keatelite Discrimination and injustice are always wrong. You seem to use many words to skirt that truth. In hundreds of words you still fail to agree. Do you, or do you not find injustice wrong?

[rachelsOne]

This is part of the reason that many whites feel a sense of entitlement.

@rachelsOne What REASON? You mean EXCUSE!

There are no REASONS for unfairness and injustice, only excuses. Time hasn't changed those facts.

@fannynoise If i was unclear appropriating my position on the subject I apologize, after all communication is 51% the senders responsibility...anyway yes I agree. Injustice is always 'not good'... I was attempted to seperate the secular from the sacred in my language to show that its 'bad' consequences that follow are not because some magic man in the clouds declared it as such, instead it is not functional. of course I sympathize with victims, but thats irrelevant to the thesis.

I see you have often commented on your appreciation and reliance on education, I applaud that, but education is not something we acheive through certification, thats academia, our relatively best means of propogating education uniformly and most abundantly... you must not fall victim to letting emotion and preference guide your intellectual positions..

[Keatelite]

there is a reason everything happens, and it, by definition, MUST be logically derived and/ascertained in order to be valid... what you call illogical reasons, in this case entitlement, is better described as, preferred social norms of the status quo. There is no right or wrong...only a spectrum of the utilitarian or degenerative..

@fannynoise There's ALWAYS a reason be it logical or not. In this instance the reason was to invoke invidious comparison in order to maintain the structural violence that had existed already for decades. Don't fuck w/ me I am not a teen and have a Master's in Race-Relations/Conflict Resolution.
