Go down and spend a few hours with these protestors.

When you leave, you will be amazed at how dumb college educated 20ish year olds are. And many of these that i chatted with, go to SLU and Wash U, with Wash U being a highly educated place.

ZERO common sense, none at all. They believe everything they read on twitter and facebook

It’s not an excuse at all. Just understand where it’s rooted & why it’s generational issue that is not easily fixed. If you switched positions at birth you’d be in the same spot.

How can you tell someone to understand where it’s rooted when you don’t even understand it yourself. When you look at inter city black culture, you find the culprit.

Look at immigrants and upper class black people, you’ll find they exceed the norm. If it was a race issue and not a cultural issues, that wouldn’t be the case.

There was a study recently comparing upper middle class black girls to upper middle class white girls. Black girls coming from upper middle class slightly outperformed white girls from upper middle class in education and future earnings. sYsTeMaTic RaCisM


Do you even know what systemic racism is? You basically just threw out a stat that proves when given a fair, equal shot, black people actually have potential to accomplish the same shite as anyone else. Your post backs up the idea of systemic racism.

No. It shows that good parenting leads to more successful kids. If there was systemic racism, neither the parents nor the kids would have succeeded.

Jesus.

If upper class black people and black immigrants failed, that would prove that there is racial discrimination. When you show that black people can be successful, you look at at alternatives to their struggles.

If there is systematic racism why are people not failing based on race?

That's a non-sequitur. You don't listen to Donald Trump for escapism.



It’s incredible how bad LE is at playing this devil’s advocate troll that he’s been doing recently.

Ding ding ding.

THey want from being a good way to spend a couple of hours once a week to dominating life (access to media, fantasy versions, etc.). That's the wrong place for sports to be when they become life. They aren't.

Nugget?

No.

He thinks because there are successful black people, that there are none that should struggle. Lmao.

It’s like a 4th grade level hypothesis.

The struggles isn’t based on race, it’s based on cultural issues and personal choices.

You makes a straw man argument that I said there are no black people that struggle. You’re genuinely too stupid to make fun of.

Why are first generation black immigrants extremely successful?

You really should try and formulate an original opinion. When you just spout what your thought leaders tell you without a real understanding of your opinion, you end up looking foolish lime you have continuously in this thread.

Race & culture very much overlap. Why does that even need to be explained to you

You can’t point to specific policies, because when you do you’ll know we will prove you wrong.

Growing up in America is not a detriment for black people. If you isolate the variable of race, immigrants and upper class blacks people do better than their counterparts of other races.

When you isolate the variable of single motherhood and emphasis on school, you will also notice people of all races struggle immensely when these are present.


You would have really benefited from a philosophy class and understanding dependent and independent variables. You’re going to continue to look like an intellectual bean until you educate yourself.

Race is an inherent trait which you or anyone else has control over. Personal choices and culture are not uncontrollable.

This is really basic stuff, you need a remedial sociology course.

Right. Growing up in an impoverished, poorly educated lineage really bodes well for the future of your family tree

You’re arguing class, not race. I’d suggest stopping the argument until you learn the difference.


You’ll look as dumb as you did when you thought interracial crime was black on black
