re: Spurs coach Gregg Popovich calls U.S. 'embarrassment to the world,' talks white privilege

So what is the solution to this mess?

Clearly the Spurs should be forced to fire Popovich and hire Derek Fisher.

You're right, I did give him shite. Because I felt like he was posturing for this message board, which was rather obvious & chicken shite. And he has a white wife and inlaws he has to please so I don't think he is a great representative of how the majority of black people feel. I never called him an Uncle Tom and that is what the question above me asked

---

Fair enough.

Got if. So you didn't call him an Uncle Tom. What you did was say he was posturing and acting a certain way to gain the approval of a majority white message board. Totally different

quote:

You think being white trumps a combination of being healthy, wealthy, and attractive? That's absurd

---

Where do you get that from?

I don't think white trumps black, for one.

But I also know rich black good looking people are not immune to social injustices. Do you really believe they aren't?


I don't know where the whole white trumps black thing comes in at. I never said that

and therefore if the only thing that makes whi5e privelage an actual issue is there being a majority of white people in a country then how can it be a real issue?

---

Because that is literally the issue?

Fair enough. I agree everyone has their inherent biases. We can't change that. It's nature but that also means black people shouldn't get up in arms about white privelage or call it racism when it is not. Although the majority of the time the more qualified individual will get the position regardless of race. I believe white privelage as you call it accounts for very few job opportunities on its own

Same education level, different pay. We should really be pissed at Asians, but as I said earlier, they're a bit different, and skewed to degree holders only.

To be fair those don't break down degrees. I had hardly no black kids in my accounting undergrad or graduate classes. Same for engineering and those are two higher earning degrees. I'm not trying to poo on your overall point, but that data isn't really definitive.

That was just a small portion of the thread. I don't take back what I said and yes I think it's accurate to say that he was indeed saying those things because of his relationship and because he will say anything tine liked on this here message board.

The thing that sparked it was him trying to speak and represent all black people. Which is wrong. And especially the way he sensationalized for his buddies on this board. frick that guy

I like the effort slackster. But until you breakdown the degrees that data is flawed

And average graduation gpa as well
