Yep. No way white people can ever be deprived of anything. It's not like massive governmental changes aimed at purposefully depriving the majority in order to appease the minority has ever happened right?

Yoga girl....what's your propositions for making the world a better, less racist place?


Minimize economic inequality through meaningful but fair reparations and an increase in minimum wage.

More labor unions to give workers more power.

Reinstate affirmative action.

Reduce the number of minorities in prison for non-violent crimes.

Enact laws to promote better racial understanding. One race problem that never seems to go away is that black citizens feel that we are indifferent to their problems.

Punish law enforcement officers who mistreat blacks.

This would be a good start.

That has happened but it is different. It usually happens (like SSM when most opposed it) through court action to protect the rights of a minority group (in that case, gay men and women). You are confusing constitutional protection for those who aren't in power with those in power abusing their power.

Bet you didn't know that when black Eddie Jordan became Orleans district attorney he fired all the white lawyers. Tell me again how blacks can't be racist because they lack power. Which is a retarded was to redefine the word anyway.

Didn't you already say that those in the minority can't be racist?

Congratulations for contradicting yourself and further proving that you are talking out of your arse.

Yes there is, because some dictionaries have allowed SJW's to pressure them into changing the definition to fit their agenda. Again, this is a modern leftist strategy.

ETA: Websters and Oxford have remained constant, though.

AAs haven BEEN getting reparations and minimum wage affects everyone, not just AAs.

So I guess we can let the whites rot huh? You sound like a racist prick now.

Maybe we should have a black history month or something. Maybe even a federal holiday to remember the most famous black civil rights leader whose values and beliefs went in one ear and out the other by the very people he represented.

Let them continue to mistreat all other races though right? You seem very level headed.

I take a break to eat lunch and come back to see you still holding an incorrect position based on a historical document knowing your experience in the working world is non-existent.

At this time you are attempting to hold an untenable position. You can't possibly be an effective SJW until you know what is happening in 2016.

If you aren't a StrongSafety alter you are a twin, not an enviable position to be in. You really need to stop.

I didn't say don't protect everyone from police brutality. But, it is undisputed and a fact that blacks suffer far more from police abuse, so we should prioritize it.

Blacks have not received reparations.

Everyone has a constitutional right to a living wage.

Black History Month is symbolic - no substance.

Define meaningful and fair?

quote:

What is this going to do?

quote:

Reinstate affirmative action.


It's still here and it's incredibly racist legislation. What do you think about people being hired according to merit and ability instead?

quote:

Reduce the number of minorities in prison for non-violent crimes.


Agree but why only minorities?

quote:

What kind of laws? Would blacks be required to learn more about other races and cultures too? Why should we care so much about their feelings?

quote:

Punish law enforcement officers who mistreat blacks.


Why just blacks? What do you define as mistreatment?

You should meet with me. I can give you a provable story that will shake your base belief.

no you said punish officers who mistreat blacks. you apparently don't care about the other minorities in this country.

maybe the AA community should focus on reuniting the family unit to prevent children from wandering into a life of crime.

This is the affirmative action that you have somehow missed out on.

And they have it. It's called minimum wage.

Hiring someone based on their race, because that in now invokes racism

How about do that for all races

That's because they're spoon fed that through media and colleges. How about trying to change the narrative in both?

Or you know punish all who mistreat anyone

Prove this. White people and all others aren't news worthy. Check the FBI statistics.

What reparations are they due. Those alive today and of working age already get special treatment. You lack of experience shows. I was a manager. I know the laws.

There is no white history month. Indian (dot and feather) Asian, etc. This is clearly reverse racism. This only creates animosity between the races.

If we are all equal we should all be treated equal.

It would probably be an interesting meeting. In person, I'm a good listener and don't talk as much as you might think from my posting.
