  3. Of course. Discrimination is discrimination. However, insults are not discrimination.
     
  4. What's interesting is how freely you dispense this bigoted shit as if you were doing us a favor.
     
  5. It's weird the way we hang on to some traditions when it comes to voting. Most of this was defined in the 19th century. Changes are very slow to implement because Washington is dreadfully slow in the admin department. And also because our politicians LOVE "records" which become meaningless with each change. So they bank on status quo. All of them.

    I think that's a pretty blatant mischaracterization. White privilege - like walking down the street in suburbia, or shopping in a nice grocery store, stuff like that - is a reality.

    this thread is not about that though...

    So I wonder what's happening in Iowa! :)

    post script: I have an excerpt (or 5 million...) from my sociology of race and ethnicity (I forget the actual name of the course but it's along those lines) course in college a year or more ago now.

    Okay this is kind of neat. CNN has a visual guide to what is happening in Iowa tonight, and dramatically different than the voting that takes place in polling booths, or whatever they're called; the ballot box idk... Anyway, it isn't a video and I'm thankful for that.

    Thanks in advance

    You insisting there's something bigoted about the statement 'if they would walk a mile in those other peoples shoes' is what's curious here.

    This reads like an insult.

    I don't see what's so bigoted either. Some white folks would gain insight in discrimination in the US if they experienced normal life for awhile through the eyes of someone who's part of an ethnic minority. Seems a fair assertion.

    Good luck Bernie in tonight’s Iowa caucus! Bernie is the only person to lose the Iowa caucus against all four presidents on Mount Rushmore! Did you know that?..

    isn't he favored to do well? Man, I hope he gets it. It feels like a long shot, but that's what I'm hoping for.

    We need something green and all those programs...

    Now that I'm hearing politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren (and almost everybody else too) talk about the programs people dream about and that the things we learn about in sociology that Nordic countries have that make their residents so much happier than we are and the difference in spending on healthcare and the covered tuition/debt forgiveness etc. I want those things! I don't want to go with the status quo ever again! :)

  18. Not at all. It's just an assessment.
     
  19. Folks, the very term "white privilege" is bigoted. It really is amazing how many seem to think there's a good kind of bigotry. You're bagging on a whole race of people, and it's not bigotry? That's deluded.
