re: New MTV show publicly shames white people for “What they've done to America”

I am whats amusing about an historically and presently privileged class bitching about their grievances against groups that they cultivated social structures,economic, educational, and judical structures to oppress and terrorize?it w ill be interesting to see the younger people internalize this "pendulum" shift, and why they feel the way they do, but its seemingly always seems to be on a micro, individual level. Hopefully, these kids can digest the world, and its structures, and how they fit into it on a more global and macroscopic level.

You mean had the balls and the money to build it?

I'll go home this evening, and the closest black person lives 4.5 miles away. The closest trashy person... 6.5 miles away.

That's my fricking privilege.

My keys stay in the ignition at night. And the only reason we lock the door is because the dog figured out how to turn the knob.

There's no way you live in New Iberia if any of this is true.

Clarify, are you basing this off race or class? If class, then yes, the top 20% for 200 plus years has sought what was best for themselves which has been saving grace and wealth at the expense of others.

millenials really suck.

As if you're better than your grandpa because you ironically detach yourself from life instead of feeling genuine human emotion.

No doubt, today is better than the past, but its still not what it can and should be. So minorities should just shut up, be happy with the snail-like pace white racial progression proceeds on, and take what they can get-- better yet, just know their place and deal with it?

---

What "should" it be, and how do you propose we get it that way?

What should it be?

Minorities are given (yes, given) slots in colleges when more qualified candidates are available.

Minorities are given jobs when more qualified candidates are available.

How do you propose an even playing field with the odds stacked against white people already?

It's hilarious that you all want equality but still want affirmative action.

Which hopefully goes down in the supreme court.

You do a lot of generalizing and seem to assume that all white experience is shared. Would you feel ok with this being done to black folks?

You'll never understand, but "being white" means jack shite. There are no shared experiences.

I mean, thats if you believe that there are both sides to these issues, and as if we are speaking as societal, economic, and judicial equals (things which should never blur our lines equality), which seems to have affected some peoples abilities to view the the humanity of others equality, and have served as self-fulfilling prophecies to justify a resistance to racial justice

Ummm... Thanks for answering my question with a bunch of pseudo intellectual gobbledy asian ..

It was a simple question of whether or not that you agree, that all the recent events being played out has done nothing to help racial relations?

Because honestly shaming bunch of white kids(that probably were never racist to begin with) into something they will now ponder heavily on will not help.
