Paraphrasing TIGRLEE's comment, "nobody gives a frick about BLM, he should go down to the chick fil A and see why the frick they took away the spicy chicken biscuit."
Didn't that guy post here at one time ?

The collective education and IQ of BLM has to be about 0%.

Fox needs to hire that mall cop from ATL to run security for these fools LINK

These people aren't even human.

It's safe to say I'm racist at this point and I don't even care what anyone has to say about it. I'm moving to a state with very few black people, and most that are there aren't made of this same cloth. "Diversity" just isn't my thing, guess I'm a POS.

This video is a perfect example that some lives matter more than others. If you're a POS career criminal that is fighting with a cop on one of the rare times that you're out of jail then I don't give a shite about your life. I care that the public servant gets to go home to his family #NotAllLivesMatter #CriminalLivesDon'tMatter

Just like whites have their ignorant redneck animals, blacks have their equivalent.

Yeah, we get that. Rednecks are easy to escape though. For African Americans, it's just so disproportionately lopsided that it's hard to want anything to do with them. When 13% of the population carries out 40% of the violent crime, I'd rather just distance myself from them. I'll just be a racist a-hole and get as far away from this dysfunction as I can until the REAL issues are addressed within black culture. I want to surround myself with people that reflect my values - hard work, privacy, respect for man & nature, and just overall common human decency.
ETA: I've met many black men that reflect my values, they are just scattered and outnumbered. I feel bad for them.

Try living in New Orleans and watching the daily news here. I was amazed when I went to stay with my friend in Buckhead in Atlanta. It was like the thug to upstanding citizen ratio completely flipped. There are so many great black males out there that aren't rappers or athletes. However, they don't make the news and are "cornball brothers" to many in their community.

Yeah, most black males that go against the popular trend of the "thug culture" in inner cities are usually bullied back into joining the cancerous group think that is currently metastasizing at an alarming rate and is termed an "Uncle Tom" and pulled right back down with the rest of them. It's the crab in a barrel mentality. Individualism seems to be frowned upon while racist protectionism is championed. Any young black male that grows up in that type of environment has little to no hope of succeeding. It's sad.

That's exactly the situation my dad faced. Pulled himself up by his bootstraps to actually attend A&M instead of just work for the university as a custodian like his parents/cousins and as a result he (and my mom who did the same thing, only going to Michigan) basically got ostracized for it. I'm still not close with my extended family to this day (some of that, to be fair, was due to our moving around with the military, but the lack of connection was never for lack of trying).
Honestly, that's the problem most folks in a lower socioeconomic class face. It's not a uniquely black problem, there's just a higher proportion of black people lower on that ladder and that skews perceptions in a lot of ways.

That's awesome, and they have my respect and admiration 100%. I can't fathom how hard it would be to escape situations like that. I agree it's not something exclusive to black people, but as a whole, it seems (through my perception anyway) young black males are disproportionately bullied by peers to not be individualistic.
In my opinion, the "white privilege" people speak of isn't some institutional built in advantage, but a cultural situation in which white males aren't overly coerced into being any one particular thing. So in short, I think "white privilege" is the opportunity to grow up in an environment that fosters individualism.

Neither can I. I can't say I'd have had their intrinsic motivation to better their station if I were in my parents' shoes. Children naturally tend to imitate their parents. I know I do, from my speech, to my politics, to my alma mater, to my initial career choice, to even my sports preferences for the most part. I had great examples in front of my my whole childhood and copied them. A lot of my peers weren't so blessed. I'm no better than them, I'm just grateful for the situation I was born into and have done my best to seize every opportunity.

There is a lot of merit to that. Not feeling as if you have to conform to a limited range of approaches to life is a huge boon to individualism.
And IMHO, it's not "white" privilege so much as "majority" privilege. Been that way as long as humans of different races cohabitate. There can be advantages of varying kinds in assorted arenas to being the "default" ethnicity and/or apperance. It is what it is.
What it is NOT is a free pass to success if you're a majority race member, or an excuse for lack of it if you're a minority. Too many people get that twisted.
