    Have they? Whites are still the most populous group in America.

    Correct. If a mass murderer turns out to be black, Asian, Arab, Latino, etc the narrative is always "they need to get control of their people" or "this is why the border needs to be closed" or "all those X's are terrorists," but the same will not be done with white people. Or how about this: Brock Turner, privileged white kid who rapes someone and gets a very light sentence. Guarantee you that wouldn't happen if his skin was darker.

    Or how about this: whites aren't as likely to get punished for military crimes as blacks are.
    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk...military-punishment-whites-new-report-n769411

    Or how about how whites get paid more than blacks despite their similar education levels

    Easy what percentage of the black population are over 54 years old?

    I don't care for segregated housing in college. I also dislike safe spaces or protesting every time Ann Coulter is scheduled to speak. I've told my cousins who are currently attending college that it's a place to have your ideas challenged not a place to protect you from disagreement.

    Is it discrimination? Yes.
    Should it be ended? Yes.

    On the spectrum of discrimination where slavery is getting your balls chopped off and fed to you before being decapitated is this like stubbing your toe? Yes.

    Yes, because we were talking about rape, murder, enslavement and torture that lasted centuries and you're talking about subsection 145 of chapter 1 of the SBA and being unqualified for housing in 2% of college dorms. There's a recognizable difference snowflake.

    And are you kidding me? It’s perfectly acceptable in this country to blame the ENTIRE white race for the actions of less than 2% of white people (slaveowners) 150+ years ago. And that is perfectly fine.

    But if we try to blame the black race for the fact that TODAY they represent less than 13% of the total population and they commit 52% of our total murder and 33% of our total rape and are overrepresented in literally EVERY category of violent crime we keep track of... we’re racist bigots.

    Don’t sit here and try to act like black people are so persecuted when their people can’t even be called out for violent activity today whereas I have to answer for the violent actions of people 150+ years ago.

    Then don't sit here and bitch about the plight of the white man like life is soooo horrible for you when you live in one of the most prosperous nations, can get anything easier than others, can be an irritating misoygnist and still get elected president and have the privilege of being seen as the "typical" American.

    I'll reiterate. I've been aware of and followed policies for a long time and have produced shows and events that are only eligible to minorities and/or women. I've been told to hire only from select groups and I've done it while swallowing down what should be right. And its not just POPULAR to question discriminatory practices against certain people. What's concerning is that it is deemed acceptable to discriminate against some people while RACIST or sexist to discriminate against others for, as you said it, "no good reason".

    So we're back full circle, to if I personally am not discriminated against, its NOT wrong? Are you fracking kidding? Me personally, having to take resumes and throw them out if the race or gender was not "correct" seems pretty wrong, don't you think?

    Is this the "if a tree falls in the woods and you don't see or hear it, it doesn't actually make a sound..." defense=) Who gives a crap if a particular discriminatory policy doesn't affect me personally? If I tossed out a resume because I thought the name sounded black, would it be racist? OF COURSE!!!! When my son is applying for jobs many years from now and he is denied because he's a white jewish guy, and a company has a policy there are just too many white guys in tech...HECK YEAH it affects me personally. Because that situation is happening right now to other people. White guys and asian guys are being tossed aside to make as much space as possible for women and minorities, because we need to fill them quotas and look good on a business report and on social media....but shshshshshshsh, its not really happening. Its a secret...psssst.

    92% of representatives from former Confederate states voted against the civil right's act. That was 54 years ago. Put in other terms, only 54 years ago a vast majority of the population from former Confederate states didn't think blacks deserved basic civil rights.

    You are called racist bigots because you blame race. Despite your rhetoric we don't blame the entire white race for slavery or discrimination. We blame racists and apologists. The entire black race isn't responsible for the blacks who commit violent crime and the blacks who commit violent crime don't do so because they are black. The fact that blacks are so overrepresented in violent crime needs to be addressed by first understanding why and addressing those issues.

    No, we're holding you accountable for the views you've expressed today.

    If whites are being discriminated so much you'd think there would be at least one example on here. Yet there are none.

    If you're being made to throw out all these resumes then that only means your company has a history of only hiring whites. To get accreditation for being an equal opportunity employer you have to hire some minorities. Sorry if that bothers you.

    And your son is not getting denied jobs because he's a white jewish guy. Stop with the hyperbole

    Being told who to hire and why, okay that I can understand the disagreement with.

    Shows and events for minorities or women, it never crossed your mind that maybe those things are watched by or appealing mainly to those groups of people? That there's certain styles or formats that minorities or women likely specifically that other people generally don't? Like "chick flicks" for example, movies that women will die to go see but men won't?

    What people believe and what are legal are two different things. Maybe you missed that.

    And BS you don’t blame the entire white race. You expect the white race to not receive the same advantages that’s EVERY other race receives because white people years ago discriminated against blacks. That’s blaming he ENTIRE white race whether you want to admit or not.

    You think white people dont have certain styles and formats that appeal to them? But they can’t have a white entertainment television or a miss white america pageant or a white awards show can they?

    No cause that would be racist wouldn’t it?

    I didn't. I'm just putting truth to the lie that these horrors are a distant past or that they were committed by a tiny majority. They are not. There are people alive today who lived through them and people alive today who perpetrated them.

    What advantages are you talking about? Where have I advocated for discrimination?

    Great then we should start some white only dorms and white only graduations and government programs, grants and contracts that whites can access that blacks can’t because of the color of their skin. Sound good?

    What would you need one for? You only want one because someone else has one, as I've been saying over and over. Furthermore a BET exists because there was limited to no representation of blacks on television at the time and we wanted a venue to get exposure.

    Most of television is white. Most of the main characters on tv have historically been white.
    Here is a list of the 20 most-watched scripted TV series of all time. Hint...its a VERY white list. There is only ONE show with a black cast and two others with a token minority character.

    What advantages? How many times do I have to say this. Grants for minority farmers that I can’t access. Grants, loans and government contracts through the SBA I can’t get access to because my skin is white. Tax incentives that companies receive for hiring minority contractors which I don’t provide because my skin is white making it FAR less likely I’ll get that job.

    And we haven’t even started talking about AA or the money set aside by states for minorities that I can’t access because I’m white. Such as NY setting aside 16B for non-whites.

    I can give you more if you’d like.

    You folks have created an ENTIRE vernacular you use to discriminate against whites while making it look not so racist. Instead of using the term “whites” you use the term majority or socially advantaged. Instead of using non-whites you use minority and socially disadvantaged.

    But at the end of the day it’s nothing more than veiled racism against whites. You can say you want a policy that benefits minorities or socially disadvantaged over the majority or the advantaged. But you look racist if you say you support a policy that benefits non-whites and not whites.

    Give me a freaking break

    No I’m not saying I want one. What I’m saying is if it’s racist for white people to create one then I let has to be racist for black people to create one.

    And BET was created in 1980. To claim there weren’t blacks on television then is patently absurd.

    That’s because the majority of the population, especially at that time, was white. So they watched shows they identified with. You don’t seem to have a problem when it’s blacks who watch shows they identify with.

    So you don't want one, you don't care for one, but you want to complain about it? Sure, that's not a poor use of complaining at all....

    Oh yeah? Compare blacks on television before 1980, then compare it to now.

    Those grants and programs exist to help the disadvantaged. There are loans I don't qualify for because I'm not a woman. That doesn't make me disadvantaged. Again, this country provides billions in loans to all sorts of people, the vast majority of which goes to white people. Provide one credible study, one piece of evidence that you are diminished unjustly by law and I will agree it should be ended.
