Zone1 An Illustration of What is Meant By "Privilege"

[Muhammed]

Blacks aren't being hobbled by the past. They're being denied in the PRESENT

Howso?

Not really but that's what the bigots tell you. Maybe if we spent the amount on education that we do on war, we'd have the best system on earth.

We already spend more per student than any other country on Earth. Money doesn't equal performance.

Johnson was a particularly brutal slave master, especially to his black slaves. He gave them the worst and most dangerous duties when he enslaved them to fight his unnecessary war that had nothing to do with US national security.

Your race video is not analogous to life except for in a way that they did not intend.

Let's see how many steps forward I would have got at that age.

Both parents still married? False

Father figure in the home? False

Access to private education? False

Access to free tutor growing up? False (I was the tutor)

Never had to worry about phone service being shut off? False

Never had to help parents pay the bills? False

Never wondered where my next meal was coming from? False

And yet I've done very very well in life. I've fared much better than every one of my friends who could have answered affirmative to every single one of those questions.

So how did I win the race?

When that moonbat LWNJ college instructor told everyone to go line up at the starting line for his little race I didn't listen to him. I sprinted to the finish line.

I skipped college and went into the concrete business.

Notice that at the end of the video none of those college students got the money. He never gave any of those kids that $100 bill he was dangling in front of them. Where did it go?

All they got was indoctrinated and a mountain of debt.

That's the only way that it's analogous to real life.

Slavery was abolished 43 years before Lyndon B. Johnson was born.

There is no possible way he could have been a slave owner.

Slavery was abolished 43 years before Lyndon B. Johnson was born.

There is no possible way he could have been a slave owner.

While it is true that the Republican president Abraham Lincoln emancipated the slaves, the Democratic party of slavery, Jim Crow, the one drop rule, and racial discrimination has reinstituted slavery on multiple occasions since then.

For example; Democrat Woodrow Wilson reinstituted slavery in 1917 and Franklin Roosevelt reinstituted slavery again in 1940

Democrat Lyndon Johnson conscripted approximately 950,000-1,000,000 slaves to fight the war he got us into on false pretenses.

Republican president Richard Nixon got us out of the Vietnam war and emancipated the slaves, thus fulfilling his mandate.

Privilege is whites like you whining about the field being hobbled because others who weren't white were given the same opportunity. The same people who have enjoyed preferences for 249 years are now trying to tell others that 60 is long enough. Another whiny post from one of the real bigots here.

I've asked this before...how much do you think it would take to make reparations complete?

"You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, "you are free to compete with all the others," and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.

We seek not just legal equity but human ability, not just equality as a right and a theory but equality as a fact and equality as a result."

Lyndon B. Johnson

This quote is from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Commencement Address at Howard University, delivered on June 4, 1965. The speech is commonly titled “To Fulfill These Rights.”

In this landmark address, Johnson argued that civil rights laws alone were not enough—true equality required active efforts to eliminate the lingering effects of racism and pov7erty. This speech laid the groundwork for affirmative action and marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of U.S. civil rights policy.

THAT'S ENOUGH
I WILL SUPPORT DEMOCRATS ON ALL OF MY INTERNET CHANNELS FROM NOW ON.
PURPOSE : GET ANY US DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WHO WINS THEIR PRELIMINARIES, INTO THE OVAL OFFICE.

My first suggestion : a planner (preferably a white guy!) of the current US Los Angeles demonstrations who did not actually dare to really run away from cops in anger for the first time.
My second suggestion : a similar young lad from the days of the Abolition of the Draft for the Vietnam war.
Secondary option : a similar young man from the start of the War on Terror, who actually did at least 1 complete tour of duty in modern warfare in some capacity -preferably field intelligence duties-.

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR ENEMIES GUESSING AS TO WHAT YOU'LL DO NEXT.
IF NECESSARY, DISTRACT OR CONFUSE THEM.
IF THAT FAILS, FIGHT!

Oh, oops. Did I just interfere with the order not to interfere in a country's emergency order declaration?
I think so, now, that i'm eating pork + veggies + herbs wraps again..
MY APOLOGIES, x.com/HouseRep and x.com/SenateRep moderators and staff and owners!
That's what you get when a confused man is kept doing war tasks, I guess. Over.

The thing is, democrats : you went to the black and brown guys who are always willing to take over the USA, probably to the Canadians as well through your Paris-Love-City principle, thinking you could count on perpetual support after the assassination of President Kennedy.

And I JUST DON'T WORK FOR FREE ANYMORE.
Not when it risks my life and my goals for my afterlives.
