re: A little perspective on racial inequality and "white privilege"

First off can you give us an example of something that happened or was implemented in the last 40 to 50 years? Something where a majority of the citizens in this country backed and impacted the black community?

Secondly, not sure what you are smoking but this paragraph about the GI Bill is complete and utter bullshite!

quote:
The GI Bill helped white Americans prosper and accumulate wealth in the postwar years, it didn’t deliver on that promise for black veterans. In fact, the wide disparity in the bill’s implementation ended up helping drive growing gaps in wealth, education and civil rights between white and black Americans. While the GI Bill’s language did not specifically exclude African-American veterans from its benefits, it was structured in a way that ultimately shut doors for the 1.2 black veterans who had bravely served their country during World War II, in segregated ranks.


As a former military officer I counseled numerous Marines about the program. Everyone that elected into the program and used it swore by it. I have had numerous of my Marines look me up and thank me for pushing them to participate in the program.

Thanks. I know enough about his points to where they are half truths or irrelevant to today's outcomes... except for the GI Bill part.

He was too vague on a subject that I don't know enough about. I'm curious if he could be more specific how the GI Bill pushes racial inequality and white privilege. I'm interested to see what he can articulate and if it even has half truths to it.

talking about the racism they endured whenever they walked into a store on Rodeo Drive and having some store clerk look at them strange and in an accusatory manner strictly because they were black.

This is such a bullshite narrative.

Take a black guy, dress him in thug couture, send him into an upscale retail shop and they’ll watch him. Dress a white guy in the same clothes, and they’ll watch him also. It’s all perception. If you dress like trash, you draw attention.

Don’t like it? Don’t dress like a fricking thug.

Because black immigrants from all other countries excel at reaching middle class or higher economic status in the US when compared to blacks who were born here. This level of economic class achievement is the same for all immigrants in the US. If systemic racism was an issue it would be easily proven by looking at immigrants of non white ethnicity being oppressed and there's no evidence to show that....actually the facts show otherwise.

End of discussion.

Is an offensive racial slur.

Also, this argument only makes sense in the context of race being at the center of every individual’s life. What about individual initiative, ambition, talent?

This is why you can't reason with people who think like the OP. Randomness can probably explain why people are poor more so than race. Individuals make thousands of decisions on a daily basis and race isn't the only variable in a person's life, there are dozens. That's how you know the entire ideology is complete BS because it's so over simplistic and it doesn't take any effort to realize it.

i see the OP has not returned

he knows he is FOS and got his arse handed to him as always. dude is a pathetic poster on all boards

Now tell us about affirmative action

The continued assaults by blacks on whites across the country is evidence of systemic racism among black.

Blacks and anarchists are overplaying their hand. Trump is waiting for it to get a little worse so Dem leaders have to come down on it, or ask for help.
