I would love to see the focus on academics that is so common in some Asian and Jewish communities, in my own (Black) community. And of course, the high numbers of out of wedlock births aren't helping the situation. However, societal ills always start in the most under served communities. But they eventually creep into White America. We're already seeing this with the opioid epidemic. After flooding Black communities with crack cocaine, then declaring a war on drugs, White America now has to deal with their opioid addicts and meth heads. Out of wedlock births are also on the rise for White women. You all better watch out. It's a slippery slope. |
I'm white and would love to have the benefits minorities have.
Affirmative Action Employer is one. White History month is another. lol Abuse family leave and sick leave at work without discipline. Riot in the streets and loot the stores every time a white person gets shot. Have multiple children with multiple women and don't have to pay child support. Sell drugs and get only probation. |
Affirmative Action, which helped white women tremendously, is being replaced with various diversity initiatives, which also help white women and LGBT. Every month is White History month. Every textbook extols the virtues of White history. I'm not sure what the family leave comment is about. ![]() First we need police to start shooting unarmed White people on camera. Then you may feel free to riot. White people are already having out of wedlock children (see above comment). The numbers have been on the rise for several years. White people are already committing crimes and receiving slaps on the wrist. Where have you been? |
LOL. White people have always enjoyed these benefits. Only difference is they riot and loot when their favorite sports team loses. Sorry you didn't get the memo, but feel free to start taking advantage any time you want. If you truly mess things up, you'll be allowed to try again and again to f*ck things up even more. |
Thanks for letting is know that white people have "out of wedlock" children and commit crimes. The problem is the extent to which these issues impact black people. Why would anyone want to help you if you don't want to help yourself because you are in denial? And being black does have benefits at times. Michael Brown's family just got 1.5 mil for trying to kill a cop! |
The Russian bits are strong in this one Jedi ? |
From whom? |
I was thinking the same thing. |
Full Darwinian competition. Science. Bring it. |
I lived in EL Paso, where white was minority. I was blatantly discriminated against in small and big ways. Small - service people being polite and doing their job - I was often ignored. Big - I was passed over being hired and had trouble getting a job when I was equally or more qualified. However, even though I brought these issues up, nothing was done.
I predict trying to achieve fairness and eliminate racism is a white value, and reverse discrimation will be rampant, with little regard for white people, because that's what I experienced already as a white minority. |
No such thing as "reverse" discrimination, discrimination by definition does not mean white against black, it means DISCRIMINATION. And I am 100% sure that your experience means all white people are about to be discriminated against all over the UNITED STATES. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Y'all got issues. |
You're right about the term discrimination. I was not alone in my experience, although I did use personal events to make a point. Within the white community of El Paso, many reported similar experiences. As a white person, I abhor racism, and I would never treat anyone differently because of race, whether it was a hiring decision or whether I needed to provide care for a person (I'm in the medical field) I speak up when I see racial injustice and don't tolerate it in my office. However, that kind of commitment to racial fairness was not reciprocated to me in El Paso. The fact that you denied my experience and minimized it shows that you don't think it was very important or real. |
I did not minimize or deny your experience, I minimized your ridiculous extrapolation to future country wide, rampant racism against all white people. I guess lack of reading comprehension is just as real as racism in El Paso. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Why is it ridiculous? The question was what do you see in the future? Please follow simple conventions for polite discussion in a discussion forum. If you would like a list of generally accepted guidelines, I'd be happy to help you. |
