Re: Race in America - Riots Explode in Minneapolis
I really disagree with anyone telling me that what I've done with my life is due to White Privilege and I should view everyone non-white, and their situation, from some sort of guilt-ridden purgatory. I view my position in relation to non-whites who have difficult lives just as I view poor whites w...

Re: Race in America - Riots Explode in Minneapolis
Not in the least. Explain to me how that movement has anything to do with treating each other as equals? A reality in america is that when a wealthy, white american is killed, the country is outraged and actions are taken. When a poor, black american is killed, we shrug. We write it off due to crim...

Re: Race in America - Riots Explode in Minneapolis
Life isn’t rocket science. Life is a series of choices. From the time you are a kid. The vast majority of people who complain about life being hard are correct. And it’s even tougher when people make lousy decisions. Show me someone, anyone, of any color, that has a “tough life.” Why is it tough? A...

Re: Race in America - Riots Explode in Minneapolis
Life is hard. Even harder when you make bad decisions and expect good results. Don’t like your lot on life? Start working, start studying, start reading. Stop whining. Yes, but you're forgetting that our government is helping all those people who made their own choices. Just one single example: -I ...

Re: Race in America - Riots Explode in Minneapolis
i could agree with that definition; because it assumes we are all equal. of course that depends on how you read the proviso at the end.

Also Switzerland spends 10% on average of its GDP on government. They owned by the UK too? https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/switzerland/government_size/ :lol: Pete, Switzerland's national taxes are lower than their Canton taxes (think: States, like in America) So that 10% is just the Federal taxes,...

Re: media matters
it's the one area where i may actually empathize with DJ Trump. and that's hard to do.
to be more forward-looking, my question would be- if DJ Trump wins, will we still hear about the VRMC? or will it not be enough proof...
in fact, i'd argue 2016 was enough proof. only the LA Times knew.

Re: Race in America - Riots Explode in Minneapolis
i think the time is right to ask- what isn't racist.
someone will say anti-racist acts. but i still question whether it's anti-racist to be racist against whites.
