    I kid you not, an Egyptian Muslim co-worker told me that his religion teaches, and he believes, that one day, as I am a Jew, Satan will one day give me a share of all the gold in the world (there's a few other million Jews that get theirs too so its not all for me.) I'm fricken old. It's probably going to get to me when I'm too old to enjoy it.

    What's worse is that the nickname "Beto" was chosen by his father to help his future political aspirations. I can't imagine much things that are more cynical than that. It's not like it was his "soccer team" name or something like that. It was totally invented for politics.

    That reminds me ... a few years back there were a pair of UK street performers who attracted enormous criticism for their overtly black stylings - even down to the Jamaican accent.

    The catch was, of course, that both are actually black - and of Jamaican heritage :p



    My two brothers in the background, feeling it :D

    I really feel bad for you.

    Your fun little racist thread isn't any fun.

    You guys really are the true victims.

    Well if you want to look at it that way.

    Maybe in a few hundred years, the world will feel sorry for them.

    That guy is a real dick.

    See, this is what's funny...

    when white supremacy comes up, people around here will make the excuse that white supremacy exists because white people are angry and they are angry for good reason (which is laughable)....this guy turns around and says, "hey don't be angry, be a "mensch".

    It's just always a two way street for everything.

    You asked for an example of when a white male is being discriminated against.
    I pointed out legal, systematic racism against white males.
    In this country racism and sexism is alive and well. The victims of discrimination are white males. You can shove your white privilege to where the sun does not shine.

    So, when lefties whine about racism, they forget that white males are the only ones in this country who are truly denied opportunities simply for their race and gender.
    Don’t be surprised that a pig like Trump got elected and will probably get elected again. He is the only one out there who isn’t afraid to say things the way they really are - white people are true victims of racism in this day and age. And the left wing media tries to portray his supporters as racists, even though they are the ones suffering from it.

    Ok, when I went to college, I was only given unsubsidized student loans. Many of my peers with similar incomes but different race were being given grants, free money. They even bragged about government paying for their parking. I had to work extra, because my loans didn’t even cover everything 100%. Those with free money were dropping by out from classes. I never had that luxury. Now, many years after I graduated I still owe money. Many of those who started with me completely dropped out and owe nothing.

    Another story. A year ago I was between jobs. I got a job within a month, I’m in accounting, finance and data. Anyway, I applied for a couple of positions in Cook County. The county forces you to submit your race and gender info. Guess what - I was getting phone calls or from almost all potential employers. One was remarkably silent - the county. Probably didn’t fit in their racial quota.

    PS, now that I make decisions in hiring/firing, tell me, how much desire do you think I have to hire someone who I witnessed to have it easy in college, even if they actually graduated? Who should I hire to help them with their student loans?
    Racist actions feed racist actions.

    I wasn’t talking about scholarships. I was talking about federal grants.

    Bullshit study - it combines federal aid and private scholarships. In federal aid local college decides how much to award you. Ultra liberal racists give blacks free school + parking + books + lunch and stick whites with unsubsidized loans.

    Okay, well if you feel slighted by society, that's a shame.

    Hopefully, you'll be able to make it in spite of the hardships you've had to suffer because you were born white.

    I just don’t hire blacks because of that - they don’t owe for college, so they can flip burgers at McDonalds. White kids get to become professionals because they have to pay their loans back.

    The Evergreen State College

    Students formed large angry liberal terror squads chanting, "black power, black power, black power," while simultaneously cornering white people minding their own business into corners and calling them racist, (they accused white people of being racist while simultaneously chanting black power.)

    They carried baseball bats on campus as a warning to any other white male who may come to campus to get an education or do their job.

    But I suppose that's white privilege-right???

    Trump kept up the lie too... but you knew that right, check out the art of the deal

    "According to the New York Times, Donald Trump even asked his father why he had to keep the lie going at the time of writing Trump: the Art of the Deal. "

    Every time you enter a Walmart, or pump gas for your pickup truck, or buy a pack of gum at the neighborhood convenience store, you are experiencing white privilege because nobody is basing their opinion of you on the color of your skin.

    Nah, this guy is the world's worst white supremist, being Jewish and all.

    The debate moderator had to urge those two people to make a retort. None was made. Probably not able.

    Facts don't care about your feelings.
