First thing's first: KEEP. THIS. SHIT. CIVIL. If you can't talk about race without resorting to childish insults and rude generalizations or getting angry at people who don't see it your way, leave the thread.
With that said, I bring you to what can hopefully be the general thread about race.
First, a few starter questions.
- How, if at all, do you feel your race affects your everyday life?
- Do you believe that white people (or whatever the majority race in your area is) receive privileges simply because of the color of their skin. How much?
- Do you believe minorities are discriminated against for the same reason? How much?
- Do you believe that assimilation of cultures is better than people trying to keep their own?
- Affirmative Action. Yea, Nay? Why or why not?
Also, a personal question from me.
- Why (in my experience, not trying to generalize) do white people often try to insist that they aren't white? I can't count the number of times I've heard "I'm not white, I'm 1/4th English, 1/4th German, 1/4th Scandinavian 1/8th Cherokee, and 1/8th Russian," as though 4 of 5 of those things aren't considered "white" by the masses. Is it because you have pride for your ancestry, or an attempt to try and differentiate yourself from all those "other" white people? Or something else altogether?

Oh, bother.
In the USA, privileged private-school white kids tend to be coddled.

That’s the sad irony - for all the conservative complaints about how colleges coddle students and make them soft, stuff like this is why people think their complaints are ridiculous.
Power of Thor!
Projection is the biggest drug a lot of conservatives take.

That PR firm stuff is prime example of privilege in action right there.

Tentatively?
Where there's life, there's hope.
I suppose, like any other expenditure, the City Council needs to approve it, and go through all the procedure, etc.
Hopefully its just that, and not them planning to resist any further.

Sorry to move from this...what the fuck with some Leftists trying to use Latin American Racial issues as a way to distract from the opossition to Maduro?
Apparently, oposse Maduro is something that only EVUL White elites do and that "Most of the non whites support Maduro, fuck you racist nazi".
I say this because...I'm non white, my family is non white and we all are against Maduro. This isn't about race at all.
Initially was the "Venezuelan Opossition is white!" but then, when someone pointed that the rest of South America did oposse them, then South America becomes a white-ethnostate where non whites are serfs.
Latin America have race issues. No doubt about it.
But please, don't use them to apologize for a incompetent dictatorship.
Sorry if I came off as enraged, is just that...I don't want people using my identity to support their shitty ideologies.

Are they leftist or are they Russian shit stirrers pretending to be leftists?
Oh really when?
If you're not supposed to be giddy and hyper at 12 as a kid of any gender, when are you allowed to be, exactly?
The staff of that school should be ashamed.

Actual American Socialists, thought Russian allies might not be out of the question. The "Anti" Imperialists have no issues with imperialism as long is not American or western european.

That's a long standing problem with American leftists. See all the tankies and other shit that come up every so often.

Dunno how that's paternalism being honest.

Yeah, that's not paternalism.
It's either idealogical loyalty (he says the right socialist words and thus should be protected!) or anti-Americanism (Amerikkka doesn't like him so obvious Maduro's a good guy!).

This isn't even about that anti-Americanism. Is about saying that the Latin Americans that want Maduro out are all part of the White racist elites. Mentioning latin american racial issues to imply that all the opossition is fueled for bigotry against the hard working honest non white workers.
They say all the same shit that they said about the cuban refugees, that all of them were people wanting to enslave the afro-cubans and ran away because the amazing Castro, liberator of mankind, stopped them.

An article on the issues with how the MAGA kid interviews was handled. Namely, that the interview was far too lenient on him.

Well they are kids don't forgot,people are used to handling them with kid gloves so to speak so being lenient with them isn't too surprising

Yes, they're smug racist idjits.

It's getting attention because of the smug look on Nick Sandmann's face. We all think we know what it means and we all hate it.
"We learn from history that we do not learn from history."
It says a lot that a lot of people, including a lot of the media, go out of their way to find a way to help Covington Catholic MAGA Hat white male power team or at the very least make them look less bad.
