... try to take advantage of the American dream while some just sit on their asses and complain.

Every single day.

Why would you ask?

Fish on...

probably got the gun from your shop. so there's that....

My white privilege started with 2 parents in the home that stressed education and hard work. Then it was start at the bottom and work your way up. One of my brothers paid for a welding course to become a certified welder in Oakland Ca over 30 years ago. Three quarters of the class was made up of people of color getting paid to take the course. Most of those students sat on the sidelines smoking cigarettes and bs'ing and not partaking in the opportunity while my brother pretty much had the teacher and materials to himself. Was that white privilege?

Jerry thinks his two-parent middle class beginning was starting at the bottom.

lol

I also read Garcia's post, and I just don't understand how you came to that conclusion, his first sentence stated that "My white privilege started with 2 parents in the home that stressed education and hard work." In that sentence he called his 2 parent family and the values they instilled in him white privilege. He then segways to the concept of starting your carreer at the bottom and working your way up. At least that's the way I read it.

But of course maybe you're just trying to be a smart ass.

We should have picked our own cotton. Blacks are the most racist race in this country, hands down....or is it hands up. They complain, bitch, and whine, just like the queers.

Streamer has this place dialed in.

It's people like pile of steamer that coddle and suck their dicks because they have no balls to call a spade a spade. You clowns on the left are part of the problem

I understand why they wouldn't want it in their backyard.
There's no room.
Backyard be full of garbage already.

lol

Well, at least one of you will get something out of this election.

Everyone else is just going to get a sh!tty President and a case of heartburn.

Why?

The chief is right about this, but the BLM movement has many valid frustrations. Disproportionate numbers of blacks are incarcerated, disproportionate numbers of blacks are shot by police, even when considering the disproportionate number that commit crimes, a clear disparity still exists.

The problems with the BLM movement is that it acts like every black man who is shot by police was innocent despite the many cases where overwhelmingly clear evidence suggests otherwise. It also doesn't help when some members resort to violence, looting, vandalizing ect. Because of this, many people disregard the movement altogether or discredit it.

But... look at the root of the racism that exists. Whites have oppressed blacks (and to an extent still do) which continues to linger in the form of disproportionate numbers experiencing income inequality, limited access to quality education, poverty, ect. The formation of a resistent subculture of blacks was largely shaped by oppression from whites.

The only way to resolve this is to continue talking about it, bringing awareness to it through peaceful and constructive dialogue, and acknowledging that it exists. The problem is that it isn't easy to do because for blacks it exposes them to micro aggressions that invalidate their viewpoints causing them to feel unheard, and for whites it is difficult because of obliviousness and a need to defend themselves (whites are victim of white supremacy as well). It also exposes them to their biases, potentially racist views, and having to acknowledge their white privilege.
