In 1951, when a Black family moved in, a mob entered their apartment, tore it up, and pushed a piano out a window. Police watched and did nothing. The governor had to call out the National Guard.


Can any of these type of instances be cited that occurred less than almost 3/4 of a century ago? Or any less than 60+ years ago?

Privilege is when you have so few problems, that you are looking at who is leaving their curtains open. 150,000 isn't even a whole lot of money.


Just 6 years ago a household income of $150k would have been top in the 10% of household incomes nationally, now it takes a household income of $120k to be considered solid middle class.

If the left has done anything, they have taught me to not give a shite about anything said regarding social justice.

To this point, if those same people decided to start closing the curtains, they'll be labeled as privileged and racist for not allowing people passing by to peer into their house.

You can do you, of course, but I find that to be weird.

Successful woman dresses attractively at a bar, gets raped ... rapist says "she was asking for it."

Successful woman leaves her den curtains open, gets burglarized ... burglar says "she was asking for it."

Atlantic author-"journalist" is outraged by the former claim, yet antithetically outraged at arguments against the latter.

Gre up poor, curtains opened during the day and closed at night. I still do that and I am in the rich white category.

If I lived in a shite house in shite neighborhood, I might keep my curtains closed all day. Don't want those thieves stealing my 85" flat screen.
