    Actually all it means is that in defiance of the leftist myth that White people all stick together it is, in reality, every White person for himself. Whites don't give much of a fork if other Whites live in poverty. Why in the hell should they care? Why in the hell should they care if Browns and Blacks live in poverty? This nation is full of opportunity for everyone and mostly all it takes to dig yourself out of that hole is to develop a backbone. Don't like the situation you were born into? Then get off your lazy rump and change it rather than whine about it and expect a handout.

    Plenty of White people go to bed hungry and -- gasp! -- there are almost no programs to help them BECAUSE . . . they . . . are . . . White. This is especially true for White males.

    Equal rights not special rights. No one alive today is a victim of slavery and everyone alive today has the ability to make whatever they want of themselves.

    My money is my money not anyone elses..

    My life has no impact on any minorities.

    So no reparations..

    I do have a thread on reparations. It's in the Race Relations section of this board.
    Go check it out when you have time. :)
    You are right, though. I am going to leave this thread. It was nice meeting you, Antidoupolist.

    I actually had the best of all poverty upbringings. Due to my dark skin-tone and being a dirt-poor Italian-American in Houston, Texas I was considered Mexican trash by Whites and Italian trash by Mexicans. Then when I got old enough to join the military I was informed that I was now considered White . . . regardless of my skin tone. It was a fascinating process!

    Anyway . . . barely having enough to eat was a familiar existence, yes.

    I ACKNOWLEDGE my white privilege. I had the white privilege of working since I turned 16, white privilege of working my way through college, white privilege of paying taxes for over 50 years and finally the white privilege of retiring. Anyone having an issue with my white privilege can kiss my white privilege body part.

    They can also go to the library and educate themselves and make themselves valuable to employers.

    Are you singing a different song now? LOL! At first you said you were so happy to be White.
    I'll see you privileged folks later. Bye.

    To make themselves better human beings...

    That's why I read.

    Here is an example. I grew up liking fighter planes, that interest led me to read books about about planes and wars. This lead to loving stories about the men, and yes some women. Reading what they had to endure and what they accomplished lead me to have great affection for those men. That lead me to a book about Robin Olds. Though imperfect, i love that man. I learned how to lead from that man. I am a better human and a better leader because of that. And thus i am more valuable to employers.

    Hmmm i wouldn't say "no one ever"

    I would say, no one in a long time.

    Native Americans were treated far worse than African slaves, and today are some of the very poorest Americans. Much more deserving of reparations than descendants of slaves.

    Every battle is, if you focus on the men and what they did..

    I just read a book about Wade Mcclusky and the battle of Midway, a true hero on a ship full of heros. His decisions saved Midway, very probably saved Hawaii and possibly the west coast of our mainland.

    I was disheartened to find idiot historians have been disparaging him since the 1990s with their unfactual rewriting of history.

    No, that is the cognitive dissonance of a white liberal when liberal brainwashing does not conform with the reality being observed.

    Trying to force people to respect you by acting like you have no respect for yourself is not a good choice to be making.
    All it serves to do is to create tension and dissonance where in many circumstance much less of it existed in the first place.

    So the question remains, who is really behind all of the bedlam ?

    Please Google the name: Jane Elliot. She is a White woman who speaks very honestly about White privilege.
