    It really is unbelievable how consistent these commercials are in portraying White males as short, dumpy and bumbling next to the black guys who are tall, fit and erudite......with a blonde female usually fawning all over them......

    Interesting how the left wingers think and operate. Black lives matter, no problem for them. It is okay to be white and some show up unglued.

    Or...

    It could be that some internet trolls cooked up an idea to trigger lefties.

    This thread alone makes the people that pulled this stunt the winners. I've gotten a great laugh out of both sides justifying their paranoia.

    Death of the author. Only interpretation matters now. Once something is in the media, the text itself barely even matters as much as anyone's interpretation of it. I don't like it, but I'm not the person who made things like this, I'm just trying to survive it

    Nobody can intelligently dispute the fact that it is acceptable in society to say derogatory things about white people that would get you fired or kicked out of school if you said the exact same thing about a preferred minority group.

    This is thanks in large part to the alt-left democratic base. And then the left wonders why so many mainstream, middle class white people voted for Trump. You can only treat a group of people like sh*t for so long before they abandon you.

    Yes and no. It was right to disagree in the 1960s, as racism at that time was real and present.

    But it's 2017 ... time to do as you suggest. Declare that 'all lives matter'.

    That's because Progressives are very confused people. They think they want a coffee coloured society, but yet they can't actually live anywhere but their uber-white, uber-safe communities.

    Confused is probably too generous, actually. More like, 'enjoy virtue signalling, but never walk the walk'.

    both times I would of said "black lives matter too" that simple word 'too' sounds more inclusive, like you want to be equal, not separate but equal
    and both times getting upset with someone for saying white lives matter too, would harm the movement for civil rights if the people wanting civil rights argued against white lives mattering too.... that is just something you ignore or at least say you never disagreed with that and move on, you don't argue against it, it doesn't help

    I took social studies, evolutionary biology, psychology, history, english, culture and technology and never heard anything like this claim from any professor. I am sure that if the professor made this claim that it is bad thing to be white our 80% white class would be horrified and complain to administration.

    I don't mean they're 100% white skin inhabited. I mean they're first world, safe and comfortable, hipster-infused, metropolitan locations within predominantly white nations.

    Not a single Progressive I know personally and via acquaintance (and I know many .... many. far too many) can even cope with marrying someone of a different race and culture, much less living within a non-white, non-western culture. Every single one of them is partnered to a fellow whitey, and enjoying the fruits of first world western culture. Freedom, safety, plenty of food, lack of corruption, same-sex marriage, arts grants, cafes, cinema culture, blah blah blah. They're absolute f#####g frauds.

    You would hope so!

    I didn't do Humanities (arts and isms etc), so was surrounded by geeky nerdbergs at college. No one cared about anything but graduating with honours, and lunch :p
