            Ok, sorry, I don’t keep tabs on people’s comment history. Also, I apologize if you felt misgendered, I didn’t even see your pronouns and I’ve never recognized this term as gender specific.

            I have literally gotten into fights over the past several weeks over racism. I am on a hair trigger. I still find this sort of discussion of racism based on flimsy class characteristizations distasteful.

            I apologize for being a dick and being aggressive. I’m sorry.

              this is completely fucking inadequate
              the fuck you mean “flimsy class characterizations”? you came at me because i correctly pointed out that ignoring class is dangerous then completely minimized and dismissed the actual fucking oppression i face as “a brit” in your words ignoring that i’m fucking Black in a white supremacist country
              “apology” not accepted, go fuck yourself

                I think we should stop this. This argument and most of the missteps in discussion came from my end. Looking back, you didn’t really say much and I exploded at you.
