Of course. There's no doubt about it that whites elected Trump, and there's also no doubt that they are receiving the most hate, right? You just admitted it by saying they are to blame.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 7:26 am Who's being blamed for electing Donald Trump?
have you looked at the demographic breakdown of his supporters, and those that voted for him?
Just the fact you said "crackers" pretty much shows that whites are the one group it's socially acceptable to be racist against. Anyway, back to your comment... I am not disagreeing with you. I have no desire to celebrate my whiteness either (I'm actually 75% white and 25% mexican), but there is without a doubt, a prejudice against any kind of white group. We have black pride groups, but if there's any sort of white pride, oh no, they must be Nazi's, etc. That's how retarded people have become.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 7:26 am
i’m not sure what you’re getting at...we celebrate crackers all the fucking time, and have done so throughout history and often to the detriment of others. i’m scotch-irish with a bit of german, so probably as white as anyone here. i have zero desire to celebrate my whiteness in and of itself, namely because it’s a tired gesture. crackers have overlooked the immense contributions of minorities for centuries. are you that insecure with yourself to step back just a bit?
Someone else was asking if whites have ever been murdered, and I was answering yes. Yes, it was a white guy and yes, it was terrorism. We agree on that. I'll add that the Black Lives Matter group murdered several white police officers if my memory is correct. It goes both ways, and you cannot blame all shootings on whites trying to hunt down blacks -- it's just not reality.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 7:26 am ok? were whites targeted specifically? it was a cracker that did the shooting, we know that much...domestic terrorism and all. those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it
The point I was getting at is that there are actually more opportunities in America for blacks and minorities than whites in many cases. It's just a fact. I'm not totally against AA, as I know of a few people that greatly made the most of that opportunity. However, there is a danger with AA, in that some people get pushed through that do not know their subject well. I know of a few people where this happened and they ended up having to completely change career paths because they were not good enough.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 7:26 am so what? wtf does it matter if a university sees cultural diversity as a more important factor than you do? the standards of admissions vetting are always changing. i didn’t get into my first choices for grad school because my GRE scores were too low, despite strong research chops and advisor preference. it’s nobody’s fault but my own...not because i’m white, but because i didn’t get high enough scores. two of these were cali schools, so it’s quite possible i was beaten out by asians. not they’re fault
Nothing bothers me. I am part Mexican, and yes, they do cook better Mexican food than Chipotle. I don't disagree with you comment here, so I'm not sure what we are arguing. I will say that I wish the Mexicans and Blacks would learn something from the Asians in that they work hard and don't blame the white man.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 7:26 am and hispanics are probably better at cooking Mexican food. again, what’s your point? so what if some think asians are more intelligent? if that bothers you so much, prove those people wrong. i’ll tell you this, asian societies do a much better job than our own in training kids for school. they aren’t inherently more intelligent, they’re just much better at school because of their cultural and the way it handles school/work obligations
No, I disagree. We need to move on. It's 2018. How long are whites going to feel guilty about the past? You'll always be controlled by it if you cannot move through it. I don't know anyone in my personal world who views themselves as superior to another race. If they believe that, I avoid them.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 7:26 am it’s always relevant...the conversation is about white supremacy and privelage. crackers have viewed themselves as superior for centuries, which is why it cracks me up that anyone would think “we” deserve to be celebrated any more than we already have been. why should slavery not be part of the discussion? or the kkk? or gerrymandering? or fucked up sentencing for drug charges? or institutional racism?
I hope you'll at least listen to this non-defensively. I don't view you or anyone on this site as an "enemy". I just want to call out bullshit regardless of which side it sits on.
