You're still comparing one kind of "suffering" to another.I'm reminded of a scene in the pilot of the old IRONSIDE television series. Chief Ironside, who was paralyzed from the waist down, had just hired a young Black man, who references the hard life he's had. "Why?" says Ironside. "Because you're Black? Well paint me Black and let me walk out of here." "That's because you've never been Black," says the young man. "If you had, you'd say paint me White and put me in an iron lung."
