Everyone in Vermont is white, this shouldn't be a big deal




There is a group of African immigrants in Burlington, and a handful of college students there that aren't white. But that's about it.

That’s the best part of it. Can you imagine the discrimination those white people have faced in Vermont.

The courage necessary to hang that sign in Vermont. These brave patriots!

I’m not LucasP

I’ll offer you the same bet I’ve offered other. We can go straight up for 400.

Or we can go I’ll pay you 400 and you ban yourself for a month.

1k and you bam yourself for 6 months.

We can discuss other terms. :)

Am I not the first to make that suggestion?

I wasn't aware others had a similar notion.

I'm not a gambling man so,
carry on sir.

Why don't white people protest in the streets over the school taking down the sign?

Blacks, illegals, immigrants etc all protest for similar offenses, why not whites? Is it ok to be white, but not ok to protest?

The first for LucasP. Not the first to say alter.

It gets a bit tedious. I can deny it till I’m blue in the face. Or I can use the put up or shite up method.

It’s all good. We could make a small wager, winner donates to losers charity of choice.

Want to tell me how many shows on network tv are about minorities compared to whites? Hint: in 2014-15 19% had no speaking roles for blacks and 59% for Asians.
Proof that blacks are over-represented in network TV.

blacks make up 15% of the population, and Asians make up 5.

Only gays are more overrepresented in the US media

quote:

How many od the current memebers of house and senate are white?
~11% are black

4% are asian

both track well with with their demo.

The only truly underrepresented demo is women, which is more to do with evolutionary gender differences than discrimination (What James Damore was fired for suggesting).

How many of the movie studios or tv networks are run by minorities?
Are Jews minorities?

How many of the Fortune 500 ceos are white?

See above

I love how you trigger these clueless little pansies, but as the next Governor of Florida Andrew Gillum said to Trump this morning "never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig(s) likes it." The world as they know it is changing at this period of time and with their backs against the wall they are lashing out in the "anger" stage of their grief. The natural evolution of the world will phase them out in due time. We will allow them their current "sky scream" phase they are in because they will soon see no choice but to progress to bargaining & depression before their final acceptance of the fact they are on the wrong side of history.

Of course it is ok, but the insinuation behind those signs is that somehow White people have become the oppressed and are being discriminated against. None of us have to be apologetic about being white, but the anger and resistance of white people to those of other ethnicities gaining more power in this world is obvious to anyone that is paying attention with half of a brain and knows a little of the worlds accurate history. To suggest that the oppressors of the past millennia or so have now become the oppressed is utterly ridiculous and an insult to those that have suffered the oppression.

Being white and not being ashamed of it is being ‘on the wrong side of history’?

I take it nuance and comprehension are not your strong suit? Neither I, nor the University of Vermont ever said anyone should be ashamed of being white. That is simply how you take it and the narrative you wish to create in order to give yourself a defensible position. However, to insinuate that White people are now discriminated against or oppressed in any way is something you should be ashamed of and that was the purpose of those signs.
