Nation's first transgender homecoming queen

White TV channels? What about ABC Family?

 

The Rooney rule is ridiculous.

You have to interview a minority just because?

What ever happened to interviewing the best candidates regardless of race?

 

College = higher learning

Collage = higher number of photos in a frame

But yes, you are right...although I don't think there are any all black colleges any more.

And as will be said if it hasn't already, "every other month is white history month" (lame, but oh well)

 

America's most watched network FWIW

 

Gross

 

I don't know how white people can overcome all this. It's just not fair . . .

 

Yes, there is some truth to it. But in context, when stacked up against other prejudices, it doesn't come up to knee high on a grasshopper. Just because there is some truth doesn't mean it's equal. And it certainly doesn't mean whites are oppressed.

 

So for the record, some of you are saying that black people as a whole are still oppressed in this country.

 

I think so to an extent.

 

I would say certain predominantly black areas are still oppressed. I would say there are many individual cases of bigotry and racism. But I also think this nation has blended cultures better than any in history and this is something to take great pride in.

But just because we have moved very far, doesn't mean there isn't still a way to go. But we should be proud of how far the majority of this nation has come towards seeing beyond race. And for those that don't see beyond it, we should continue to encourage their growth.

 

and you wonder why you draw my ire...you pester me for an indepth answer, I provide you with one, and you dont even have the smarts to bother to read it before you blather on "hope I look past those views (or grow beyond)" frankley, fuck you, you self important know it all. If you had taken two fucking minutes you would know just how far beyond your worthless opinion, I am.

 

Tell me how you really feel!

 

So the areas of oppression are my fault as a white male? I am keeping their kids out of college? I am keeping their parents from making sure their homework is done? I am making them join gangs?

I had black neighbors growing up that worked 3 jobs so their kids could have a future, and black neighbors who did nothing but live on welfare and blamed everyone for it. Which one did I, as a white male, oppress?

Certain predominantly black areas aren't being oppressed by anyone but themselves. If they want things to change, then stop breaking in to businesses that open up in their area, and stop chasing away people with money simply because "they don't belong there"

 

yeah, I believe they are by the yoke of self fullfilling poverty, brought about by failed social engeneering

 

Can someone explain to me why Asians have greatly prospered in this country and on average make more than whites?

Surely they have been oppressed too.

 

Ya, you got me. I kind of realized as I was typing that I was ascribing beliefs to you based on my view of what you might think rather than based on the actual text you provided. But I still posted it anyway, and that was wrong. Honestly, I am sorry.

 

First off, I am not claiming you are oppressing Black people. Just that there is oppression. And that we can work on fixing that oppression.

 

How did we get from a transgender homecoming queen to MM saying he's so persecuted because he gets looked at funny?

 

Link to that stat please; last chart I saw has Asians earning 85-90% what whites made.
