I agree, it is degrading when people think that way. Is reporting sexual harassment whining? Yup, I went there. Both issues have laws.How about Fetal Alchohol Syndrome?
I don't know who is saying this but I don't many people are saying black CAN'T succeed unless they are bigoted.. I think the argument is more like "poor people have challenges, there are a lot of poor black neighborhoods, people in poor black neighborhoods have challenges." How you overcome your challenges in important. How/where do we learn how to meet challenges or overcome obstacles? I learned the hard way by first making mistakes and learning what NOT to do. It's not an excuse to give up on your life but not everyone easily overcomes their challenges I think is the point.
That's all you hear or that's all you hear on a thread about white privilege or American politics?. You said yourself racism is real, why do you acknowledge racism but believe it is not an obstacle to anyone? It doesn't have to be an obstacle if you have the tools/skills to overcome it. It is still a stumbling block.
Most have been assassinated or imprisoned. The rest are politicians. Who goes to church still, who stays married? The leaders should be in the home.
So is exposing racism now called whining? Is paying taxes now called "white people giving them help?"E="rjs330, post: 75878855, member: 377008"]It's degrading.
RIght again
You're hired. When can you start?
So no more need for the Civil Rights law on housing discrimination because it doesn't occur anymore.
Now I'm motivated to go backto school.....All I needed was for someone to tell me I had the option. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
How about Autism? How about birth defects. How about blindness?
Yes poor people have challenges. But those challenges are only things to be overcome. And they can be. There is no obstacle to going to school, studying hard and getting good grades.
Racism is real, but it's not rampant. Not lke the WOKE culture wants you to believe. 40% of blacks reach middle class. So it's very possible. Stop playing victim to a culture that no longer exists. There are no more slaves and no more Jim Crow. You can get a job anywhere, live anywhere, go to any school become whatever you want. Having life easy doesn't build resilience. Overcoming life's obstacles does. That's a fact. You want success? Go get it.
I didn't get where I am because I'm white. I got here cause I worked hard and earned it.
Life is filled with choices that have consequences. The choices you make usually determine the consequences. Have babies out of wedlock and there are consequences you AND your child will suffer. Join a gang, sell drugs all have serious consequences. Get married, get a job and stay together usually reap good consequences.
Poor blacks do not have to stay poor. But too many do, because that's all they know. There needs to be leaders within the black community that preach success and how to get it and encourage it. Too many are calling for the white man to pay up, cause they just can't get ahead without it. But the real truth is that won't do it. What does it is hard work and perseverance combined with making good choices.
