Very true. But in a lot of ways I’d rather deal with the known than the unknown.
Souf . I am backing off this political crap .
Tragedy has taken place . Lets leave it at that .
I’m just really sorry for those who lost their lives and their families. Seems some here say they are sorry but just want to use this sad event as a chance to push their views since a message board got shut down. Some real nut jobs here.
I agree with what you say here: no doubt in my mind racism, sexism, and reverse racism and sexism run rampant. But as a white male, I disagree with being made to feel guilty due to old , white privilege. Im all for getting all these old dems and repubs, male or female, white or not, out of office . But I will say, I as a millenial am barely afloat, working two jobs, fell victim to the scam college is, and I can tell you, many of my friends in the same situation are sick of hearing about privilege. My generation feels none it. Living on credit aint good. We are f#####
We have tragedies every few days .
So the timing can never be good, right?
Status quo wins
Think about every mass shooting. There was/were 1 person with a gun. If there were more people with guns maybe the dingbat would not act knowing his desired outcome decreases in a situation when people are ready and willing to fight back. But I guess I am too low IQ to be on your level.
Worrying about your finances because of opportunity-
Is privilege .
Or to the topic-
Being alive to stand trial for your heinous crime, when others are killed on site for being suspected-
Is likewise privilege.
Reverse racism is a myth of those desperate to be victims to rationalize their bad choices
The first point: no . Anybody can go get a damn job man. Unless they are severely handicapped. Do not tell me what I can and can think.
Second point is certainly true: but so is the fact that certain segments of the population commit more crime than others. Not white vs black man. Though I understand that point. But dont tell me as someone who had to take a giant loan out to perpetuate the myth that college is, and now had to work to pay all that back, that I am lucky. Also, dont ignore the cold hard truth that some people (white, black, brown, red, green, orange) are dumb and not meant to succeed to the level of others. Thanks bro
No they just have more stabbings more armed robberies and more rapes. Great trade off.
....you so often write terrorism off as no worse than a common cold.
Now it’s different, and political..
FakeTears Souf.
I actually think you are loving this shit so you can spew your radical left wing bullshit on this forum .
You're a scum bag that needs to be tracked by the FBI .
Worrying about your finances include your student loans because you made bad choices was the point .
You had the opportunity to make those choices .
It’s no different-
Because the status quo will remain...
Only brown skin scares you into action
Yep.
These people no longer move to the mountains of Idaho .
They are everywhere
Always been everywhere-
But used to keep their hate private to function in the world.
No longer have that fear
He isnt wrong about alot. For sur
and anybody has the opportunity to get out and make something. You just made my point for me . Thanks! Youre right, I was a 17 year old immature human brainwashed by my parents, the media and everyone else. I did make the choice ultimately because I felt I had no other option. But I will tell ya what: a 17-21 year old is so much less capable of understanding shit and consequences compared to what I know now at 26. That is how the system insures you spend money: its forced on you right afer high school while you still have no clue. If they actually taught finance in high school, college would go under because students would realize the waste it is for most . Im not playing victim either. I just dont like being told im special because im white. Im not, dont think I am either.
Oh you’re not special .
You just have more doors open to you .
And it doesn’t take finance to know cost vs benefit .
If you went to college without a plan of a specific job you wanted- it’s salary, and the job market compared to the cost of college -
That’s on you and your parents.
I’m poor white trash as a first generation college attendee and I understood that.
May be true man. But I also can see why enough people felt marginalized to vote for oompah loompah. Because when all you hear about is “youre a jerk because youre a white guy” it pisses you off . Thats what im trying to say.
What do you think of elizabeth warren basically using 1/1240th of her native american dna to get special treatment at schools and in her career?
What about affirmative action? What about the fact that women are 65% of so of the college student body? We are all equal right? So why is nobody trying to get men more educated again?
Look please . I think Trump is a total baboon but I couldn't imagine living on a paycheck with Hillary running the store .
Think about it .
Why would anyone want to work if you know your getting your card reloaded at the beginning of every month ?
Nobody is stopping white men from getting educated.
Except for you who called it a scam.
I have a doctor of pharmacy and a masters of business administration as a 40 year old white male.
Because I chose to pursue higher education, and my employer paid for my MBA.
But youre assuming that there is still an invisible ceiling. All I see is ever
yeah you ignored my question.. im curious why you dont think there is an issue when its the other way around?
Because I answered it.
White males have plenty of choice and opportunity to pursue higher education.
Just like both you and I did.
Souf by the way I enjoy this discussion. As someone half your age, I respect your opinions. Id hope you can see some of what im trying to say as someone from the generation being raised without racism, etc.
No you didnt.. I asked , give me an example of someone who doesnt ? Women, different races get scholarships because of their identity. I had to pay. Im curious as to why you think that it cant work both ways? You dont see an issue with Elizabeth warren lying anout her identity to serve her better ?
Yea mike no need to insult people man it gets nowhere. Im enjoying a rational discussion. Even If I dont always agree
It’s improving incrementally.
I’m simply pointing out there is no glass ceiling for white males.
This isn’t meant to be political. I refrain from it. And both left and right can be radicalized. Just an example of what we’re discussing re social media and it’s effects.
There are no glass ceilings in Wakanda. Let's move thereYou obviously dont read my posts too often . Thats cool .
I do agree that there is no glass ceiling: but also think that , the base level of support for men of all races in general isnt what we think. I actually think the issue has gone more the way of sex vs sex moreso than race vs race. Honestly .
