I like to talk about social justice a lot. I'm not a very confident person, really. Years of growing up narrated by tragedy and seemingly hopelessness that any of it will ever get better will do that to you. But I have an indignant and righteous anger that fuels a passion for my stance on this topic that I will not ever sway on. There is nothing to sway towards. Racism does not hurt white people. Sexism does not affect men. Ableism does not hurt the abled. Homophobia does not have an inverse. If you argue against or play devil's advocate on any of these points, you are Wrong. Historically, statistically, factually, empirically Wrong. It is as simple as that.

Is there really a fulfilling, opposing argument to be had about this? What insight am I really missing out on? Nothing.
