re: Alternative view points: “the game is rigged for white people”

It’s internal locus of control versus external locus of control. Failing people blame everyone BUT themselves. Successful people get to work.

You nailed it. This is the crux of the issue, irrespective of race, creed, or sex.

No amount of programs, welfare, or reparations will make better outcomes for a person that always blames others for their failings.

Take an hour or so and figure out where that person would get data for a comment like that. It’s easy to find but you need to look. It’s deeper than the headlines on the news or posts on social media. We are choosing sides too quickly. The truth is somewhere in between. That comment is pretty accurate, but we refuse to believe it, we aren’t exposed to it, or we choose to ignore it.

So tell us, how is this system built to make whites profit and blacks struggle?

How does that work?

whites had a helluva head start,

You could say whites had a head start over other dark skinned people like indians and over other minorities like Asians, but only one group seems unable to catch up after 50 years with having no opportunities unavailable for them along with special privileges such as affirmative action, section 8, targeted scholarships, DBE programs, and diversity quotas.

There is no school they can’t go to, no job they can’t apply and be hired for. There are black PhD holders, doctors, lawyers, sheriffs, Congressmen, senators, and presidents. Individuals rise up, but rarely families and never communities or the people as whole do unlike other minorities that came here. Really gets the noggin joggin.

Thomas Sowell is a black economist who grew up in Harlem. He wrote a book “Ethnic America.” Yes people are prejudice but it is overcome by two parent households and hard work. Everything else is futile.

Only if you view whites as a monolithic structure.

White Kenny, whose mom is on meth and dad is in prison, and has dropped out of high school to work may have a hard time finding out how far ahead of the game he started versus black Chadwick whose dad works for the government in a high level role and Chadwick attends a 20k a year private school.

If the system is built for whites to prosper, why are Asians and Jews so good at it?

It's all bullshite and lies, and excuse-seeking.

I come from an area of extreme poverty and it is 99% white. What head start did they get?

First mistake.

That place is a shithole.

which white people? What head start does the poor white man with no father, a meth head mom, that is homeless or lives in a hovel have? All the same issues as the poorest, most disadvantage black person, doesn't have the race card to play, nobody gives a shite if a cop kills him, get harassed by the cops just the same, is told he's the bad guy for however long he manages to stay in school, hears the same thing on the news every day, and gets to hear about how privileged he is. Oh, and his plight is completely ignored by politicians at every level. So go frick yourself. I'm 1 generation removed from the poorest possible, most disadvantaged situation you can imagine, my mother literally lived in a house with a dirt floor, an outhouse, and a cast iron stove in it as a child, went hungry, picked cotton in the fields, etc etc etc. Dad wasn't that much better off. They made good choices, taught me to make good choices, and they will live to see me be a millionaire. Your position in this country is determined by the choices you make, period.
