    Can a gay person who has never experienced homophobia rightfully celebrate Pride Month?

    Can a black person who was adopted by white parents and has no black cultural influence be proud of being black?

    Edit: ya ever wonder why you’re talking about legitimate events for black people and gay people in a thread commenting about Elon Musk’s endorsement of “white pride”? It’s because you got "all lives matter"ed and lost the fucking plot.

      Those are not my words, nor do I see how either of these quotes is equating white pride to minorities celebrating their own heritage. You appear to be executing a knee-jerk defense against JAQ-offs and cryptofascists, which I completely understand. It is, however, possible to try to have a conversation about these issues while being neither of these things.

        Those are my quotes.

        I stopped conversing with them after they misquoted me after replacing “rightfully” with “morally”.

        Don’t waste your time trying to change their mind, they’ve already decided you’re the one who’s wrong.

        The worst part is we’re evidently all on the same team, yet we’re made out to be Elon supporters.
