re: Well, this ESPN CFB documentary just took a dark turn

My great great grandfather survived solely on the fact that he could grow crops and raise chickens and pigs.

You just described the Cajun side of my family. That's how they lived back then. They grew or raised all the food they ate. And worked hard physical labor jobs to make ends meet in their shacks in Western Acadiana region. The other side of my family was Sicilian and Irish, and worked the shipyards. You make it sound as though everybody who is white was born and raised with a silver spoon in their mouth from generations ago.

Anyway, what the hell does what your great great grandfather went through 100 or so years ago have to do with you today? I'll answer for you: absolutely nothing. The fact that your great great grandfather had it hard doesn't mean that you are given the same treatment. Quit trying to make it out as though it is.

We have evolved socially since the days of slaves, and have grown leaps and bounds since the Jim Crow laws era. If you choose to have the mindset that life is still like that, then that's a creation you made in your head. Because it is nothing like that.

If anything, I as a middle class middle age white male have absolutely no protection in the workplace, and society looks at me as the devil even though I had nothing to do with why they look at me that way. It's simply because I'm white. And it doesn't look like that is going to change anytime soon. If anything, it's gotten progressively worse. So I am the one who is fricked. Not you. To quote you:

He’s another in a long line of guilt ridden, pathetic whites that take anything the agenda driven media gives them as fact.

Sad to see.

Same here. I’m beyond tired of the media’s left wing bs.

I think I’ll sit outside and wait for the government to drop off a bag of money. If they fail to do so, I’ll be back to cry racism.

Explain to me how a free market economy works and then maybe we should take your ridiculous premise seriously.

How are blacks hired for their skin color? Thats an absolute foolish thing to say.. its countless videos online of black people putting in job applications and identifying as black and not getting any calls. But once they put they are caucasian on the job applications thats when they get calls for interviews. Just shut the frick up you’re obviously biased

Affirmative action much?

This thread is appropriate for Tiger Rant but would also be appropriate for the Poli board.

The reason they do this is because Louisiana votes mostly for Republicans. Make no mistake about it, that’s why they show LSU instead of say Syracuse, Michigan, tOSU or Florida/FSU/Miami.

Downvote away, but I speak the truth.

FTR, I’m not espousing my own political beliefs (I tend to lean apolitical). But that’s why the media passive aggressively attacks Louisiana. It’s all politics and has nothing to do with reality. They want to portray all of us as backwards, inbred hicks who are too stupid to comprehend their elite, progressive (or regressive if we’re being truthful) world views.

Bill Withers would say it is not so bad:

'My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me
All you want to do is use me
But my answer, yeah to all that use me stuff
I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

He doesn’t know.

The idea that predominantly white schools weren’t successful to the level of black schools before integration is lol worthy. Now the idea that these formerly all white schools would fail if blacks suddenly left is also lol worthy.

Ultimately, what he and those like him want is equality of outcome. They want the system further rigged to benefit blacks to the point of tearing down all things white under the guise of “systemic racism.” The longer this thread goes, the more he lets slip about his true feelings.
