You know what? A basic education and understanding of how things work is a great inoculator against nutty conspiracy theories. Why would I take you seriously on any topic when you didn't even know who Tom Cotton is? You're ignorant. Stupid things makes sense to you. What are you selling? Guess I better go check out some shit I'll make sure to never buy. You offend me. Probably others as well. You're not a very serious business person, are you?
I would like to know what you found offensive or disagreeable about it. If you don't mind.
"I've never been black and can't really tell first hand" I take that as a disagree.
You know, how minorities get all the attention making it seem like white people have it easy, but they don't! Whaaaaaa!
Not at all. I just grew up in the projects with a single mother being called SPIC as my nickname in school. I am Italian btw. I then went on to start my own drywall company at the age of 20. I worked 70+ hrs a week up until I was 36 yrs old. I had several Million dollar plus years working several men all of whom made 18+ per hour. I was known as the best spray man in Knoxville TN. It doesn't matter though you have your opinion of me and that is that. I on the other hand have not judged you in any way.
Read my above post. I've been called Mexican my whole life."I've never been black and can't really tell first hand" I take that as a disagree.
You aren't unusual. Most white people in the US aren't objective about their advantages. 53% or white women and 58% of white men don't see racism as something they benefit from and other experience difficulty from.
I'll just pull one statistic up, that of wages:
Over time, through recession and booms, white men out earn Black and Hispanic Americans by almost 25%. That's a heavy advantage.
What to do? Just some ideas. I know you are going to hate this.
Step up affirmative action policies.
Stronger enforcement actions with stiffer penalties for wage discrimination
Improved education opportunities for minorities and women
Financial assistance to minority owned businesses such as low interest government loans.
In other words, start giving real advantages to make up for systemic advantages that white men naturally have.
Point me to a society that fits the libertarian ideal and is able to defend itself, have a good standard of living and meets or exceeds the quality of life that Norway, Denmark and Sweden's people have.
US Senator Tom Cotton. There are only 100 of them and he's noisy. You're making politically-tinged assertions and you don't know who Tom Cotton is. You're ignorant.
Nuts like you make it more difficult to spot the real shenanigans.
White person. You are a white person. You've experienced the privilege of not having people single you out because of your black skin and African racial features. Being called falsely called spi_ -- compared to what African Americans experience every day isn't even close. You poor downtrodden white man.
You're spouting right wing talking points. Where are you getting them from? Co-workers? Family? Radio? Where? I accept and understand what you say above. I just think you're being taken for a ride as you start to pay more attention. Misinformation is a profitable industry. Chose wisely. It does not appear that you have so far.
Ok, just watched this. What the guy had to say was 100% true. I just don't know that I would categorize those "priveldges" along side skin color.
I like the idea of not judging people. I don't buy into your conspiracy theories but oh well. I'll buy your products if they are good and I need them, and not if they suck, regardless of your politics.
Weird. I don't remember reading about a time when short people got tied to a post and whipped while being called "shorty" or were forced to work in the fields. Come on. You people cannot be serious with this shit.
