2020 Election

You mean you haven't seen 6-eyes say that?

 

Percentages are fine for some things, but to claim that fewer poor people have it worse than a larger number of poor people, just because of color, is ludicrous.

 

Ok, here it is again...

Now then. According to this the number of African Americans in poverty is half that of White Americans. What is the ratio for number of white and number of African American though?

There are something like a bajillion more!

 

I’ll vote for Ron Jeremy if he runs for ANYTHING
I think this election will be an even bigger shitshow than the last

 

Well you've done it for one, lol. And 6. You guys are the worst offenders

 

Broken record? Really?

 

I don't care for racism in any direction. You lament me when I don't want it aimed at me. And this makes sense to you somehow.

 

that data was from census...

I wasn't gonna touch Writer's white privilege bait with a 10 foot greased up staff member. It's like we're in the jungle, the enemy is entrenched in the treeline somewhere. I'm on point and notice the tripwire. Before I can do anything Asmodean strolls by, sets off the flare, now we're caught in an ambush

Anywayz white privilege absolutely exists. But it's like I said those that are privileged often fail to recognize their privilege

 

So according to this 60.4% are White alone with no Hispanic origin & 13.4% are African American. Of that, the percentages from my other post can be applied. I wonder what numbers we'd see.

 

You've repeatedly said racism isnt an issue in the US.
And yet here you are again pretending that people are somehow being racist against you in particular by bringing up white privilege.

HF = theater of the absurd

 

that is true, and why they make up the majority of people on welfare.

Well, at least not with my truck.

 

There are plenty of whites who it would be hard to describe as privileged--living in trailer parks and the hills of Appalachia, or scratching out a living on road crews, waiting tables, or stocking groceries at WalMart. And there are some people of color who are successful athletes, celebrities or professionals with good incomes who we ordinarily wouldn't describe as underprivileged. There are even occasions when having a white skin can be a disadvantage, if an employer is under affirmative action pressure. Peggy Mc Intosh, the women's studies scholar who seems to have come up with the term in 1988, described white privilege as "an invisible package of unearned assets" such as the absence of suspicion and other negative reactions given to people who are conspicuously different--not being closely monitored in stores, stopped by the police, etc. Irish-Americans were horribly discriminated against in the nineteenth century, but because they looked like the majority population when they got themselves cleaned up, they could assimilate more easily than non-whites. Some scholars complain that the concept can distract from deeper underlying problems of inequality that are at the root of the problems, but conspicuous appearance does seem to be statistically correlated with these social differences.

WP is right about the absolute numbers, but really I think it's the disproportionate percentages that are the critical consideration. I agree, the term has led to white backlash. Which is a bad thing, cuz after all, whites are still the majority in this country. (another illustration of the reality of the phenomenon?)

 

This thread kind of went south quickly in the last two pages

 

It's booty's fault..

 

I actually agree with you. Now let's get back to Bernie's problem with the unions. The one where they like their healthcare as it is.

 

Hey man like I said I wasn't even gonna touch that. 3 pages later it's a shitshow. Shaun the Sheep over there took the bait and Writer got the reaction he wanted.

Someone should start a white privilege thread tho. Could be interesting. I'd do it myself but I'm not white so I think it would be a disaster. Everyone would be like you're racist, you dont know what you're talking about, this, that, and the other thing. I feel like a white privilege thread needs to be started by a white person because of LOL white privilege

 

He's been endorsed by multiple unions
