That's my issue, as well. What's the end goal to all of this BLM stuff?

Exactly. Pop brings up these examples:

"Well, because it's uncomfortable and there has to be an uncomfortable element in the discourse for anything to change. Whether it's the LGBT movement or women's suffrage, it doesn't matter."

Both had/continue to have tangible goals in mind. "Change" is damn near impossible when you don't have anything tangible to actually change.

It means that they know you well enough to know that the present day culture of race politics doesn’t affect you, and y’all can get past all that and actually be friends... the people he was talking to was either (A) racist and wanted you out of the bar, or (B) thought you were a narc

It's unbelievable how many 20-35 year old white males swallowed the farce of white privilege and regurgitate it out like it's actually true.

Not sure where we go from here. Probably a geography class for you though.

What's untrue about it? It's like saying being born American isn't a privilege.

You're a moron. There is no such thing as white privilege in 2017 and it hasn't existed for quite some time.

It's inherently racist in itself to say one group or multiple groups of people are worse off based on the color of their skin.

I love how the left acts like Asian people have white privilege now by not counting them in minority education stats and keeping them as a separate group.

Next time I see the guy in my gym that wears a popovich shirt, I'll tell him popovich hates him because he's white.

We also get a decent amount of Asian immigrants. We've basically had the same percentage of black people in the US for centuries.

I realize the nature of progressivism is that they have to always move on to the next item to improve the world. Fine. But, we are not really in a bad spot here. A black man was president for 8 years and I think most people are cool with gay marriage. Coming from a guy who was reading stuff like Democratic Underground every day during Dubya's second term, I can't believe what the left has become. The party that preaches free speech pushes safe spaces and censorship of anything that doesn't align with their cause. They went too far with stuff like tranny bathrooms and outrage every time a white cop kills a black man, without actually looking at the facts in each case.

I do wish Trump would have chilled out on the kneeling issue after making a few points about it. It has gone from some ambiguous statement about the treatment of black people to a free speech issue and I think he looks bad going berserk over it every day.

So you think if we did a study on only the Asians that were here since their ancestors enslavement they would be in line with the black lineage from enslavemnt? Please answer honestly

That's dumb. They're obviously a minority, but they also have a pretty unique situation compared to blacks or Hispanics.
