    Has anybody ever wondered why black people are exempt from the "required mask" rule if racism doesn't exist?

    From what I understand, female porn stars get paid far more than males. There are males that will practically work for free. Is that sexism?

    See, Asian or Latino is a culture. Most of them live in the same country.
    White is a color. And the USA has many folks of different color. The culture of USA is leaned heavily to white skin color.

    That applies to the Dems who failed for years to pass a federal budget but instead relied on continuing resolutions. But your post suggests that with the enlightened guidance of those with the most to gain from such thinking we can all be saved from fiscal sanity.

    An alternate I read claimed it was because so many whites were also there. How many blacks visit America's #1 tourist attraction, Mackinac Island? (Answer: very, very few from the numerous visits I've made there.)

    More broadly, rightly stepping away from race a moment, many urbanites are scared of the outdoors. The number of slasher-in-the-woods films supports that view. If the road is not lighted every city block, it is terrifying to them. I heard this from numerous city people who cannot understand how "primitive" we are without their crime or elitism, and our obvious blood-lust for owning varmint guns.

    You are of Eastern European origin by your own confession, and those people are known racists.

    If that were true, then liberals caused it that way. Fortunately, conservatives do not quaver in fear at the drop of an innuendo. And yes, we did get head of the line when the brains were passed out because we generally manage to live prudently within our means. Until some broad divorces us and gets everything but our spleen.

    Mental problems on the left however are fairly obvious. A Speaker of the House with such little awareness saying they had to pass the bill to see what was in it. (New milestones in liberal obliviousness, until they all wore slaver colors to their kneeling ceremony.)

    Notice how leftists have no sympathy for the businesses and property owners within the terrorist areas. Let it burn, especially if it's successful and black-owned! The left MUST produce "evidence" of right-wing violence, fabricating such a sorry fable.

    Huh? I don't have your decoder ring.

    Slanty eyed, hey? You forgot Yellow skin in your adjectives.
    Maybe you want to throw in a little gook as well?

    I think it would have been better to re-train cops not to see black people in masks as a threat and harass them

    sad to see video's of cops asking people to leave stores for wearing a medical mask early on... have not seen in awhile though, so maybe they were re-trained

    I think they are all well aware of your biases and stereotyping without the recent demonstration. :)

    I worked with a Croatian once who said that in his opinion a white person marrying a colored person was racial treachery.

    White privilege is a red herring.

    To answer your question why black people that immigrated to the US seem to do better than a lot of black people in a lot of white people in the US, it's probably because they have a mother and a father at home I take interest in their children's lives. The children probably do better and achieve better as well.

    They call it white privilege because it seems to affect black people the most. And as much as people roll their eyes about this it is somewhat tied to the 60s. Is removed into the Civil Rights era black people were generally poor. They received government assistance. Well the screwy way government assistance works is that you get a reward if you don't stay with your husband or wife. So a lot of these people on government assistance white black or anybody else just didn't get married. They didn't have anything really finding them to their family so they would bug out.

    White privilege is a red herring to distract from all of this. These problems were created by government policy. They didn't exist at least not in the extreme numbers that they do today before government policy.

    So white privilege and the new version of racism is all a cover because people don't want to admit they're wrong.
