The concept of noblesse oblige has not changed in meaning since it was first used by Honoré de Balzac in the early 19th century. I am not sure exactly why you are so wedded to being flat out wrong, but you do you.

Your “loose analogy” isn’t.  Noblesse oblige means Richie Rich owes society a debt.  It is the concept all of society used to use to justify expecting the rich to pay their fair share.  Don’t double down on being wrong, man.  There is no shame in learning.

It is still the exact opposite of what noblesse oblige actually means.  It means that to whom much is given, much is required.  That the ‘nobility” owe to the poors.  Instead of being snarky, you might wanna look up stuff so you don’t look silly.

Your argument for false equivalence would have been stronger without using your racism as support.

“The “noblesse oblige” argument - that less educated people should subsidize the choices of the educated elite”

So, only those with black skin can take pictures of those with black skin?  LOL.

I guess the Justice approved of the pictures.  And that is the only opinion that really matters.

They can play with brooms and mops tho.

Yes. Please absolutely ignore the lived experience of someone who cites facts in favor of protecting your own persecutory narrative.

Is there a a law in minority neighborhoods against planting trees? Some barrier to the residents improving their neighborhood? I am left with more questions than answers from your opinion piece, Ms. Washington.  Please do better.

And no one would piss on you if your hair was on fire.

Hope you feel happy when your old ass is targeted.

Hope you feel as sanguine when you are an old lady taking public transport.

You find the presence of three racist teens on a bus to be suspect?  Guess you never rode the bus.

Wish I could care if your momma is beat up by some kids on a bus.

It wasn’t whites that beat the old lady on the bus.

So if?  You justify beating an old lady for her speech that hurts your feelings?

So, beat up an old lady?  You are an animal.

Not really.  Battery of an old lady is pretty cut and dried.

The 86+ POC that are easily insulted or the actual battery of a middle age women?
