I just thought I'd ask for clarification on what you meant when using a term to denote a wide region that incorporates a multitude of ethnicities and countries 
Social Justice White/Straight/Cis/Male Privilege

For the record, I don't much care for affirmative action (I got the feeling some people were assuming I would cause of previous posts of mine).
I think it's like a lot of the attempts to answer racism or disadvantage, you can't fight fire with fire here, you can't beat racism with racism. And there's no way to do "good racism" imo. Which is why I don't like the welfare systems that are specifically for one race, favoring one race is no different than disfavoring another.
Way I see it, the only real answer long term is to stop seeing race at all.

Indeed. One might even say that acknowledging privilege leads to favoritism which (as you say) is no different to disfavoring another (racial discrimination)... kind of like what @thujone said.I'll shut up now. I promise. Couldn't resist.
One might indeed say that.....
They'd be wrong, but they certainly might say it.

Uhh, it's just an advertising demographic.
My actual age is 32.

Not trans, basically. All of us here who were born as the gender we identify with, we're cis.
Anyone who doesn't, is trans.
It's Latin. It's used in chemistry as well.

Lose your shit over something worth losing your shit over. Like that life sucks and you hate yourself and your massive drug habit will probably kill you before you're 40. Those are good things to lose your shit over.
You are moooore than welcome to lose your shit over that, we can lose our shit together! :D

Sadly I don't have such problems. But it can be arranged that I do! First the American elections. Now this!Permission denied!

But you're right. I've been on a late night post shredding spree again. Man. I cannot believe the shit I type here and how hyped I get over shit that I cannot actively do anything about.
And I promised myself that I'd start taking a step back from here because I need to get some things done i.e. fun as this all is it's not helping me to change where I'm at and time is running out.
But like an idiot: I casually login this morning while sipping on my coffee thinking I'll just have a quick look around (truth be told mainly to see how the two of you are doing) (and I'm sure you both know to whom I'm referring). And now this.
So here we fucking go again. Cannot help myself can I.
And if you think my feelings on Trump and the Republicans et al are over the top: get the popcorn ready!
Mind you and seeing who the moderators are of this particular forum: I have a 2 in 3 chance of these posts not seeing the light of day or being banned (the latter being a possible temporary cure)!

Yeah I'm an idiot too.
Also you don't have such problems, why are you on bluelight then? I mean, you don't HAVE to be a fucked up drug addict on the verge of complete self destruction to be on bluelight, but it helps.

Well truth be told: I came on here looking for something very specific, which I found, improved upon, finessed, and mastered. And that was supposed to be the end of the story. But then I took a look around out of curiosity and figured I could do SOME good around here given my own history and experiences. And then I somehow and gradually moseyed on over lower down the index as time went by and ended up guess where? CEPS!Yeah I'm an idiot too.

And, well, the rest is history!

Interesting.
I forget sometimes that not everyone on bluelight is a hardcore drug addict. Some people here just like pot, or psychedelics or whatever.
And some on ceps who shall remain nameless appear to have no involvement in the drug areas of the site at all.
I do suspect though that the overall majority are in the serious hard drug addiction category. Would be curious to see how the demographics break down.

Alright. Apologies for the anticlimax and slight deviation from the topic at hand and the short rambling. At this moment I'm figuring that discretion is the better part of valor as they say in the classics. There's something I really and truly do need to take care of (otherwise we're not ending up in Brazil or anywhere else for that matter). I'm not fooling myself though i.e. pretty sure once I've done what I need to do there'll be some new posts here that will tick me off to the point where it'll just not be possible to restrain myself any further. You two take care now in the meantime!

Homosexuality is a minority group. In my mind it is anyway. It's a group that has historically been persecuted and makes up a minority of the population.
