I can call myself white. Why? Because all of my ancestors were white! See how that works.

You are Mexican/Southwest Indian. Deal with it. Trey songz you are not.

As far as your family doing more for this country then mine or anyone else's? Ok I'll play.

My great grandfather on my fathers side was a mayor of a large city in Ohio for 20 years. My grandfather on my dads side was the President of the Chamber of Commerce for a large city in Ohio for 15 years.
My dad was a school superintendent for 20 years in MI.

On my mothers side, my grandfather was a WWII officer His family before him founded and started a city in Michigan. The high school is named after my moms maiden name as a result. 3 roads in the city are named after that side of the family. My grandfather also started and ran the largest hardware company in MI with the first one being in that town.

So....that is just for starters. I can go on.

Please, share with us all of the great things your family has done for this country.

This is one of the most unfortunate unarguable facts mentioned itt.

P.S. Fk LBJ
P.S.S. Target very specific zipcodes with undeniable incentives for business. Caveat that with particular rules that guarantee wealth. This can be done without race even being mentioned and those folks can rejoin the dream. No unions!

PSSS School choice shouldn't be an argument for children. The community wants it but are being denied to better their children.

I'm almost happy Democrats won a super majority just so that there is no excuse for this stuff not being implemented and it can be put to bed. No more pandering over it.

Even within the Asian diaspora I know many of you call Filipinos the Black people of Asian. None of you dealt with the remnants of chattel slavery or Jim Crow so you can hide behind the idea of being a minority yet not actually dealt with it like Blacks.

A lot of Asian Americans were able to come to the USA off the strength of African Americans and White Allies during the Civil Rights Movement where the 1965 Immigration Act was slipped in between all of that.
Yeah breh there's racist people of all races lol. It's 2021, there's zero excuses at this point. We had a black president for 8 years. If immigrants can move here and make a better life for themselves the problem is with you.

Anyways,why not just make reparations be a free STEM education at a state school for anyone who is at least 50% black, kept at least a 3.2 GPA in high school, and is at least third gen American.Make that reparations and see how many people will try to claim the benefit.

These are good too. Except IMO for the unnecessary limitations. There are fields outside of STEM that have value. And union or no union should be up to the workers, not the government.

Like my suggestion for a down payment grant they reward effort- there is a grant available, but you still have to qualify for a loan and make regular mortgage payments like anyone else.

People just don't change that quickly.
[God] does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth [generation].

Exodus 34:7b
If you understand sin as "missing the mark" or "falling short" you can see that this is something that has been known for a long time. You can even leave God out of it. Children with lousy parents usually aren't good parents themselves.

From psychology:
1st generation: alcoholic/drug addict parent has a child who develops disorganized attachment from growing up w/unstable roles (child often forced into caretaking/parentified, self-worth suffers w/addiction being prioritized over the child)

2nd generation: adult with disorganized attachment/insecure raises children who are much more likely to be NPD/BPD/etc.

3rd generation: adult with personality disorder raises children who are most likely to also be personality disordered and/or co-dependent
Of course those in the 2nd/3rd/etc. generations may also struggle w/substance abuse.

It is really damaging for people with out of control substance abuse issues to raise children. Adult Children Of Alcoholics is a term for a reason.

So, what you're saying is that if white people don't "check their privilege" you have a problem with that and will "keep your foot on their neck"

Unions have decimated black population centers and are part of the reason they are in the position they are in.

Doesnt matter if anyone wants to unionize in a right to work state, make anyone's decision of wanting to or not irrelevant.

Lay out a fair deal on the table because something politically influencing something so volatile will kill it.

I'm not following.

How did unions decimate black population centers?

You can have unions in right to work states, but joining the union can't be a required condition for employment:
What is right to work? Right-to-work laws prohibit labor unions and employers from requiring workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
The last sentence I just plain don't understand.

I know that unions can be corrupt, just like any organization involving people (markets, churches, governments). And I know that historically unions have been a part of the Democratic voting block, though honestly the DNC stopped giving a crap about the working and middle class back in the Clinton administration.

I still believe that employees should have the right to form a union and collectively bargain with their employer for the best employment situation they can negotiate. I'm less of a fan of things like seniority over job performance.

Hey man if people are going to bring the subject of race up I will keep it 100 on the topic. I'm not going to sugar coat it because some people will get their feelings hurt.

I'm in the top 10th percentile in terms of income for my age and gender. Even higher when it comes to being a Black man. I'm doing fine bro.

Obama's latest memoir is candid about the racism and dismissiveness of it during his presidency. Even our Black President of eight years didn't deny that so nice try trying to use him as an example.
Obama wrote in his new book: "Through Palin, it seemed as if the dark spirits that had long been lurking on the edges of the modern Republican Party—xenophobia, anti intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, an antipathy toward Black and brown folks—were finding their way to center stage.She had no idea what the hell she was talking about."
You had him constantly calling him a Muslim, Communist, not born in this country, anti-American throughout his presidency.

Thats the ultimate truth....its not about skin its about culture. And the culture is so pervasive that much discrimination comes from the immediate reaction to skin color associated with their culture.

however that would not go down well with most people.

What you posted has nothing to do with any talk of potential reparations for slavery or Jim Crow laws. Come back to the thread when you can stick to the topic and argue intelligently

Yes I am indeed low iq.

You're not worth arguing with because:

A) it's unclear whether you're black or not
B) All you do is create race bait threads and if a thread is about a black person killing a non black person you call it race baiting

Strong hypocrisy lol



C) You steal all of your content from the c oli locker room forum, A well known anti-anything other than black race, racist forum

Be a man right now and share with us your the c oli username so we can see your post history.

Seriously, you're fuking pathetic and a desperate pos.

I've already made my thoughts known on this issue. Do I believe reparations should be handed out? Nah.. but if it was give it to those who suffered through Jim Crow era laws.

Reading is hard and you're a self confirmed low IQ poster so what point is there to further respond to you
