    Watching this now...

    This isn't "sharing". It is law enforced bigotry: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jillgr...-more-women-on-corporate-boards/#26e9bf2d191e It isn't loss of privilege that is causing suicide. It is tyranny and exploitation, among other things. It has been signed into law: https://www.npr.org/2018/10/01/653318005/california-becomes-1st-state-to-require-women-on-corporate-boards

    No, white privilege is not a thing. The only thing that have been argued for previously is the fact that white people don't give a crap about racial slurs/insults thrown at them.

    Throw "cracker" at me? That sh*t's funny, yo, especially if you look up the history of its usage and the stuff happening around it.
    White trash? Funny too, 'cus it's true to some extent. Rednecks? Large majority of'em are white.

    The only "privilege" one ought to have is to exist.

    You're the type of person that despite your good intentions you create more monsters than what you claim to be fighting against due to your own ignorance, arrogance and unwillingness to consider the possibility that you're wrong.

    Will you please tell that to the thousands and thousands of white supremacists
    Black women are not the most degreed demographic..For Black women to be the “most educated group,” they would have to have more degrees per person than other groups. In fact, although a greater percentage of Black women have degrees than Black men do, they have less education on average than White women,egreed demographic in the nation..

    Word twisting ain't gonna work with this one, sorry.

    If you're going to demonize men? Men will respond accordingly.
    If you're going to demonize whites? Whites will respond accordingly.

    Again, treat others how you want them to treat you, of which I have mentioned on previous occasions before. Do we have to go to self-awareness lesson #3? "Practice what you preach"?

    Your ideas/values just aren't selling, sorry. People are fed up with the bull that they are attempted being fed, and for good reason.

    And if you’re going to demonize minorities (that includes women because of status) then we will respond accordingly .That’s the new right wing strategy , blame the victims of bigotry for making people aware of it
    my “ideals and values” are not selling to trumps base. Most people are very well aware of the rise of bigotry and hatred. People are fed up with Trump feeding his base lies and they aren't bright enough to realize it. Lie after lie after lie over 10,000 times is not acceptable but it is to his base. Perhaps you should practice what you preach and not respect a man who is a despicable character

    Your ideas and values are not selling in general, hun. Not even to Left-wing Moderates. No one's interested in listening to anti-male discrimination let alone racism towards white people. In fact, people will take a stance against it no matter who is being discriminated against.

    Discrimination is bad, period. That includes men AND whites. But it take self-awareness to realize that.

    What would you do if one of your students expressed support for Trump?

    Well “hun”Don’t speak for most Americans. Ok honey bunch? Most smart Americans know that because you oppose sexism it doesn’t mean you are anti- male..Most smart Americans know that eliminating racism against people of color, doesn’t make white people second class citizens.
    When white males are excluded from the power structure we can talk, but until then sweetie, stop trying to be a victim

    This right here. This right here is what we're talking about when talking about racism and sexism, something of which you've proven to openly support.

    The discrimination of white men. Not only is this sexist and racist, it's blatantly discriminatory.

    One cannot claim to be against sexism and racism while simply replacing it with something else. You don't combat racism and sexism by being racist and sexist.

    The white liberals are doing more to keep racism alive and well, than anyone else today. Ironic they think they are 'fighting' for 'social justice'.

    I feel the PC-manual is getting a bit rusty and repetetive. I think Leftist have to write, at least, a few new lines to make themselves appear more frresh and modern.

    It is getting really boring having to read the same old, NPC-lines over and over and over again. It is really tiredsome having to see the same threads with the exact same posts pop up over and over and over again.

    Jesus!

    Women were admitted into Harvard before you were born sweetie, so no, you're not a civil rights leader, activist, or anything else of that nature. The constant complaining and excuse making would have disgusted the likes of Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King, Frederick Doughlas, etc.

    Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted into Harvard Law School in the 1950's. Excuse away.

    Harvard Law school was a graduate school. She would not have been allowed to go to Harvard University she could not have gone to Yale undergraduate school she could not have gone to Princeton undergraduate school. Those schools were the keys. I had to give up my seat to those boys in my class who are less qualified than I was. By the way Susan B Anthony Martin Luther King etc. were all referred to in the same disparaging tones that you use..cookie



    That
    I explained it in my post, your article was misleading. Commonsense should tell you that commonsense should tell you that
    If you google SPLC you’ll see where all your white supremists hang out

    But again, why can't a black man "walk out" and be seen as a black man? What the hell else could he be seen as? A non-black man?

    "Victim envy" ---- LMAO :roflol:

    I think the word you are looking for is "revenge". You don't want equal opportunity (because we already have that) and you don't want an America free from sexism and racism (because we very nearly have that too) ---- what you want is revenge, and a racist/sexist America with different targets.

    I'm a successful woman ---- firsthand proof it can be done. Obama was a black POTUS ---- proof it can be done. People need to quit blaming their race/sex when they fail and instead TRY HARDER. You're at least 50 years too late to be playing the victim card with such determination.

    This is how you epically fail. I am not the least bit 'angry' nor have I used my race or gender for any advantage.... both actually have worked against me, but fortunately some people (employers) are like me and understand actions and attitude exceed anything else.

    If drawing conclusions as such is how you earn your living, may I suggest a change in career?

    You realize, you just enforced her point completely? You are stuck in the past, and wear your victim card willingly. Your anger is palpable....

    sure. Whatever you need to sya to convince yourself it didnt happen. However, factual reporting makes your point false. I understand its much easier to stay ignorant though.

    And how does being racist and sexist solve anything?

    Two wrongs does not make one right.

    That, and the wrongs of people's forefathers(by today's standards) does not get passed on generation to generation. With this logic you too are to blame for the sins of your ancestors.

    The morals of today are not the same tomorrow.

    Sorry I just don't believe this. Your previous stories about Hahvahd don't match up with this.
