The other side does not want a discussion. The other side wants to lecture/hector those that should be made to feel uncomfortable. To make them feel guilty and to exact some sort of revenge/tribute.

What's the status quo in this scenario, and what is it being given up for and replaced with?

Being athletically gifted is a natural phenomenon. Being treated differently by police and society in general is a product of our culture. You're making a dishonest comparison.

Nothing is physically being given up. It's a culture change he is referring to.

Utter moonbattery horseshite. Were my kids born at the 50-meter mark, while Michael Jordan and Will Smith's kids are way back at the start?

Robert L. Johnson can buy and sell everybody I know.

This racial frickery is not going to end well for anyone.

Okay, what is that? What is he saying is being "changed" here?

First thing I would change would be the people marching around with tiki torches chanting "You will not replace us"

That rally was done because people are terrified of losing their position on top. Otherwise known as white privilege.

Can you tell me what the solution is, other than make someone else feel uncomfortable?

I wish Pop were as articulate and specific as you. These generalizations are mucking up the objectives.

This story made me think of a solid scene from LOST. If I was teaching a course in college about philosophy or political science (sociology I wouldn't be caught dead in), I would open my first class with this clip, and tell any student who wanted a safe space to pack their bags and go home until they're ready to grow up: LINK

EDIT: Skimmed through it to where I misinterpreted his point. This guy can frick off with his racebaiting shite. We do not live in a racist country. My clip still stands though.

Oh, I see we are talking complete nonsense here.

Nevermind. Carry on, I guess.

I agree. Affirmative Action needs to end. No one should be given preference based on the color of their skin, sexual orientation, or sex.

After eight years where redistisbution of wealth was the central theme I'm going to suggest you have no idea what you're talking about.

The number one thing holding black people back is out of wedlock birth, which are insanely off the charts compared to all other racial groups.

That's almost the entire root of every single black problem in this country.

Why don't they wanna talk about that?
