Fair enough, and if you think I suffer as much as you, you seem to assume you know about my lived experience more than I do.
Where did I remotely claim I suffered as much as you? The problem isn't purely about suffering in an explicit sense, but societal bias that would, given circumstances, favor me over you in terms of the exact same situation given to the same judge. It's not impossible there could be fair treatment, but expecting that is naive when the evidence doesn't seem to show things are changing effectively
I was talking about racist gang members attacking you for being white.
Are you sure they're attacking me because I'm white or because I'm an easy mark potentially?
Really? So provide context that justifies white people having to enter through the back door.
I didn't say that was justified, I'm saying white people don't recognize their own privilege in how society treats them
If it was not racial targeting, why was only white people forced to enter through the back, and why was only white people forced to leave school?
You've never heard of an example through such experiments of this nature? The doll experiments come to mind, giving specific and preferential treatment in a particular context can illustrate the problems in society in a particular way, it isn't meant to be some perfect thing, especially when some people try to spin it as racist against white people when the treatment is not legislated or policy, it's a temporary situation meant to illustrate a problem by holding a mirror up to white people who think black people get off too easy or other nonsense
So you call this an inconvenience? You have lost all credibility when it comes to race issues IMO due to your double standard. If you were fair enough to admit racism is wrong regardless of who it is being directed at, I could respect that; but you can’t even to that! Instead you try to justify racism when it happens to white people by calling it an inconvenience. Shame.
It is an inconvenience, because it wasn't legislated or such, in which case, it would be objectionable, versus the context that you seem to think was permanent, when I'm pretty sure the story explains why they did it
I did the exact same thing you did, to make a point
But you still reduced it to race instead of considering it was a factor, which is distinct from my conclusion I made that this was somehow always about racism, when American society definitely has other systemic problems of prejudice against groups by a majority
Post #464 you said:
Are you being obtuse on purpose? The compromise was between white people who wanted to give black people the right to vote and those who didn’t.
Those were your exact words. The compromise had nothing to do with giving black people (slaves) the right to vote; you were wrong, you just too proud to admit it.
The 3/5 compromise was enabling racism, was it not? I'll admit I was mistaken on that, but I'm pretty sure the idea was still there in that black people were not treated fairly by white people in that context. Or are you fine with being considered 3/5 of a person?
No, the gangs are a result of no father in the house to give young boys the type of guidance necessary to become a productive young man. This is a cultural problem
And you think black people aren't more commonly affected by it because of how society treats them in terms of their issues with welfare, jobs, etc? Don't act like your experience is somehow the only one for black people,that's unfair
Satire of racism is not the same as racism masquerading as satire
I said nothing about special treatment, I said black people are considered the normal in this country. Try addressing what I said and quit making stuff up.
Prove it, when they still get relegated to supporting roles more often than not, even with just my experience. Do you have instances where this is the case or are you just thinking that because you see more black role models that makes it okay in regards to there still being more white representation by comparison?
Yeah; yeah; more empty claims, nothing to back them up. This is starting to become your M.O.
If it's wrong, then speak clearly in the first place instead of being patently vague to act like you won't take a side
