Victim mentality: off [ON]

Blacks don’t get a fair shot at basketball because they’re black?…thats news to me.

Would Skenes get in trouble for saying similar things? Yes or no?

So does that mean there is a double standard? Of course there is. Some folks are in a protected class, completely immune from criticism. Must be nice to have that privilege.

I love how you triggered folks don't quote an entire thought to try to make your point. So here is the whole thing you picked a portion of.

Like maybe there is a subset of girls who live with very little hope, who maybe have been told their whole life, rightly or wrongly, that because of how they look they will never get a fair shot.

Which means something different from what you posted.

Is it a victim mentality? Sure.

How do you change that mentality? By giving people hope and showing them they can succeed by working for it.

If that mentality is wrapped into a narrative related to race (again, the narrative you hear your whole life may not be true but you don't know that) will you be more likely to be motivated and empowered by someone from your race? We know the answer to that. Whether it is ideal, right, or whatever you want to call it, it is still true.

Would I prefer young black women look up to Condeleeza Rice, Mia Love, or Harris Faulkner? I would probably say so because they align with my political affiliations and at least somewhat with my personal views on morality, etc. but what I want most is for them, and really everyone, to move beyond hopelessness and low aspirations. For their own sake and because our society and country will benefit, in my opinion.

Do you believe that the average white kid and the average black kid have the same chance for success?

Your victim mentality is an excuse for failure.

Suspended for what?

Explain this to me

I’ll help you. White savior liberals think minorities are so helpless that they need to be treated with kid gloves to have any chance of success in life. It’s the most disgusting form of bigotry, but it makes them feel good about themselves.

Do you really not see any difference between Angel Reese messaging to black girls and Paul Skenes messaging to white kids?

Explain this to me

You said black kids are less likely to be successful than white kids because "Black culture is broken" and "because black families can’t keep fathers in the household."

Then doesn't it make perfectly good sense for a successful black woman who has not been an unwed mother and who has gone to college to be a role model to girls that look like her?

If you're right about the reason why the average black kid does not have the same chance of success as the average white kid, don't you want Angel Reese to try to fix the broken black culture?

If you're right about the reason why the average black kid does not have the same chance of success as the average white kid, don't you want Angel Reese to be a role model to show that a black girl can be successful if she does not get pregnant out of wedlock and if she goes to college?

Does Paul Skenes need to fix white culture? Do you think white culture is broken? Does Paul Skenes need to talk to white kids because white families can’t keep fathers in the household?

[quote]The only reason is because she is black and a black girl. They like Clark bc she fits the mold they want. This board is full of boomers who grew up while racism was rampant, they didn’t change. Just got older[/quote)

And the Wiley victim racist has raised his hand again showing his great intelligence
