Exactly. But we live in a imperfect world based on perfect ideals..it’s why Acts like AA were needed to break down barriers..how this is not understood, fought against or not accepted is beyond meI would add that it's a shame AA had to be passed. In a perfect world, people should be judged by the contend of their character and skill set. Unfortunately, literally hundreds of years of data suggest that MANY individuals cannot be trusted to make those kinds of sound unbiased judgments. So the government stepped in to see how they could level the playing field. AA is not perfect but it beats the alternative....Jim Crow era employment practices.
Lol I’ve never played a victim card..but I know racism still exist till this day. Was first called a ****** when I was 7 by a 8 year old white kid because my little league coach put me lead off in the lineup. I didn’t know what the word meant truly until I told my 14 year old brother and mom explained it to me...I guess the 8 year old was a victim of Affirmative Action
That's how you are interpreting what I am implying. That is not at all what I am trying to say, and mechanisms like you calling me a racist for having the audacity to have an opinion is why we are where we are. Can we not just have an honest conversation with different views without screaming racist, making my opinion less or not at all valid? I am saying that humanity in general, if we can find a path of lesser resistance, we will take it. Many ,not all of the Community leaders and politicians are the ones perpetuating victimhood and division, rather than hard work, family values and a sense of community. I don't lump people together, I'm not calling anyone lazy anymore than I am saying every person of color has a victim mentality. We are all more the same than we are different. We should all look to the things we can find common ground on and try to understand where the other person is coming from with an open mind.Your quote...."excuses to take the easy way out instead of busting their *** because it's so much easier to claim victimhood..."
You're basically implying that black people are lazy which is an age old racist stereotype.
Also, I hope you realize that PLENTY of black folks who call out racism and injustice are also hard-working people who DO NOT have a victim mentality.
Wake up man. It's 2020!
Men are actually the minority *** in higher education now.Okay..ima take your word for it..tho I doubt that’s how it went down..no reason to call u a flat out liar..I’ll just end by saying this, the affirmative action movement had the most profound impact on white college educated woman in America more than any other minority.
I never said you were racist...I’d say your blind to reality. The reality is you may not personally see the evidence of the effects from the past in your own life but that does not mean the issues don’t persist. And ppl who call it out are not playing a victim card. It’s flat out disrespectful to say that imo...all in all I get your point and respect the core of it.That's how you are interpreting what I am implying. That is not at all what I am trying to say, and mechanisms like you calling me a racist for having the audacity to have an opinion is why we are where we are.

Yeah but that has nothing to do with we were discussing lol..my point was which portion of minorities benefited the most from civil rights and AA..studies have shown it to be White college educated womenMen are actually the minority *** in higher education now.

Lmaoo..right..this why I was gonna ignore it..but **** I give in. A government intelligence agency allowing a tutor and extra time in a exam..then the other candidates allowed to know the scores of each other to determine who did better than who..that’s a new one
ROFL, its like how the troll did coach shannon, if you remember what happened in this scene in the 1st place:
It's also wrong now for anyone to
I feel for his brother. Why should ANYONE be judged by the past sins of those before him? Instead of staying angry about how bad past generations had it, maybe everyone should concentrate on healing, growing & eradicating the victim mentality that has plagued your community giving kids excuses to take the easy way out instead of busting their *** because it's so much easier to claim victimhood and throw your hands up.. Very fitting this comes up on Martin Luther King day, as his dream was about being judged by the content of character regardless of skin color. Race should NEVER be factored in to decisions based on ability.
Nahhh man..stuff like this didn’t happen..it’s all Hollywood bro..you know a story that sells..all made up bruh![]()
Benevolent white mind?? Eat A Diick. Who are you. Cornell F'ing West?This is the problem with a benevolent white mind like yours, did you or do you ever say this to any so called ****** person that received benefits and still are receiving benefits from the holocaust that they tell people about. Why were and are the people that werent even born during that time still receive compensation for it. Like you said "you feel for his brother" but you dont feel for the injust environment that caused this situation to be created, and im sure his brother got another job. While you're talking about "concentrating on healing, growing and eradicating a so called "victims mind", that shows how out of touch with reality you are and have been because you're frustrated at victims. Did we create projects, or jim crow laws and redlining and redistricting, or credit descrepancies, its easy to sit on your side of the fence and only show feelings for somebody who didnt get their "dream job" but you bring up MLK and his dream proved why affirmative action was instituted in the 1st place. Instead of trying to fight affirmative action, how bout you use that same mindset to fight those in your family who think injust, the whole got damyum corrupt system that's injust, but most importantly your own injust mind. Because by the way, once MLK woke up to the hypocrites, HE didnt believe in that dream any longer. Here you are in 2020 proving had you lived during MLK days, you would've been against him to as well, but carry on.
Benevolent white mind?? Eat A Diick. Who are you. Cornell F'ing West?
To address a couple points: If I ever speak to a ****** person still receiving compensation I will tell him I am not for anyone receiving anything for something that happened before their lifetime so long as people today are being provided opportunity to live the American dream. REGARDLESS OF RACE, or any other factor.
You assume I don't feel for people in an unjust environment. Again not true. It seems like you are the one generalizing how me and all whites think and you are wrong. My opinion, which I am allowed to have without being called racist, (especially when ironically I believe, as Americans in whole, we should be doing everything to promote equal opportunity for all. There are better ways than A.A. in my opinion and that does not make me injust. If we spent more time trying to understand the point of view of those we disagree with before insulting and discarding their point of view, we may just make some progress. My opinion, if people spent as much time trying to provide positive leadership and opportunity instead of giving up and accepting victimhood we would so much farther in Society.
I was not alive during MLK's lifetime, but if I was, I'd guess I would be for people being treated with respect and equally. I am Canadian and was taught growing up to respect everyone equally until they prove different. But carry on, as you said.
Keep your gayness to yourself, and sounds like you have a problem with cornell, but you can go and start that conversation with basically any *** now, or start it with the U.S. govt or the American people you know called politicians who send billions of tax dollars to Israel every year. What is the better way that you have that's better than affirmative action, benevolent whites like yourself always talking about this better way, but nobody's never seen it yet. You can think you're a fair person all you want but the reality of your thoughts say otherwise. The time for talking to fake white people about racism has be over with a long time ago, ***** that. MLK was the best chance white people had, here was a Man talking bout Peace and non-violent demonstrations, and how did He die, from violence by white prople.
So who in their right mind thinks talking to whites is going to work. As MLK said, "in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends". So you feel like you are a friend of Black people, but yet you saying we are "accepting victimhood" you are an example on WTF is wrong with most whites who think like, you dont even realize how ignorant you are. If someone gets raped, did they "accept "victimhood" or did they actually get raped. You sound like a clown, you should just shut up and learn if you sincere, this subject is way above your comprehension level. You already trying to tell people/victims how or what they should be doing, which shows you have an arrogant white mind and are not sincere.
You trying to tell Black people to have in your words:
" My opinion, if people spent as much time trying to provide positive leadership and opportunity instead of giving up and accepting victimhood we would so much farther in Society.
We have had white enemies from day one since we've been here til now, and here you're asking for Blacks to have a positive outlook on our enemies, ROFL, GTFOH with your nonsense. The positive outlook we have is to steer clear of the benevolent whites like yourself who pretend to be our friend. You are an enemy until proven otherwise, you're no john brown, that's for sure!
Sooooo, you don't like or trust all white people. Got it. With your outlook, humanity has 0 chance to be less tribal. I feel sorry for you. I'll use the ignore button now because I don't associate with racists.
I’m ****** guy. I think Germany paid reparations to Israel and more pointedly to survivors, such as those who were forced laborers and lost property. I do not know the specifics as it has no impact on me. I can only tell you that I have never seen anything nor asked for anything in the form of reparations nor do I know any other people who have, including people I have personally known who survived the Holocaust.Benevolent white mind?? Eat A Diick. Who are you. Cornell F'ing West?
