Zone1 An Illustration of What is Meant By "Privilege"

[Captain Caveman]

There is no hampering of any race in the United States and hasn't been for decades.
There will always be "individual" racists in all nations, including the United States, with some nations being more racist than others.
There is absolutely "no" occupation in the United States that doesn't have blacks working in, managing, or owning them. Only the Presidency lacks a black and there was one for the maximum two terms and as blacks only comprise 14% of the overall population, another black president won't likely be voted in for a while, as we still have other races (Hispanics, Asians, Latinos). Eventually, there will be another though and as long as he or she is pro-Constitution and its Bill of Rights, that will be good.
As far as any group being "kept down," just ditch the inner-city negative culture.

You've never had a black president.

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

Obtaining "human ability " --- whatever that means -- might neither be natural for some and unavailable in sufficient quantity/quality for others .

I appreciate , for example , that blacks are good at running and jumping .
But what about other and perhaps more difficult areas ?
What about the difficulty of getting blood out of stones ?

You need top in the class in order to see who is at the bottom .
Contentious perhaps , but a fact nevertheless .

I hope you don't think that is original. Just a weird fictionalized version of the "take steps forward or backward" activity common at sensitivity training.

It makes sense when dealing with school children. They cannot help their circumstances.

If this is an accurate action figure of their father:

If their mothers refuse to work to take care of them, and they live on the dole and are too lazy to sign up for the free lunch program. If they have no healthy food because their parents use SNAP benefits to by cokes, powder sugar donuts, hot cheetoes, and use their cash benefits for cigs and beer, they should get as much help as the school can provide in our requirement to be both teacher, and organizational parent substitute.

But, having gotten such help from the school, and pushed through to a diploma that they may or may not be able to read, it is up to them to adopt their parents' way of life, or get out and work for a living.

Such whiny messages as that activity sends harm them, not help them.

Would the race have been more fair if they did not start running from different spots? Would it be fair that the winner would be a man who is far better shape than the men and women he competes against?

As I tell my students "fair" is something that comes to town once a year. Don't worry about fair, focus on getting as much out of life as you can by working for what you want.

I think a lot of this conflict is due to not 'splainin' things properly to avoid misunderstanding. The English language is confusing, and when it is cycled through ghetto street law it can at times lead to confusion.

Johnson gave us the Great Society that trapped blacks on urban plantations and destroyed the father in the family

Now the fathers are coming back, but that may not be the answer either, but it's a start.

 

[Lisa558]

Well, we’ve had a half-black who identified as black.

But we’ve never had a Jewish president, half or otherwise, at all.

So what is the point? That this is more bias against Jews than blacks?

Interesting points.

I am surprised that Karmelo has a father who supports the family, if that is true. But not every thug/criminal grew up without a father. Many in prison grew up with an abusive father.

The system encourages women to kick their children's fathers out of the home, by offering financial incentives. Until that changes one way or another, I don't see a lot of hope for black families.

Single-Parent Families Cause Juvenile Crime (From Juvenile Crime: Opposing Viewpoints, P 62-66, 1997, A E Sadler, ed. -- See NCJ-167319) | Office of Justice Programs

Abstract
The Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency reports that the most reliable indicator of violent crime in a community is the proportion of fatherless families. Fathers typically offer economic stability, a role model for boys, greater household security, and reduced stress for mothers. This is especially true for families with adolescent boys, the most crime-prone cohort. Children from single-parent families are more prone than children from two-parent families to use drugs, be gang members, be expelled from school, be committed to reform institutions, and become juvenile murderers. Single parenthood inevitably reduces the amount of time a child has in interaction with someone who is attentive to the child's needs, including the provision of moral guidance and discipline. According to a 1993 Metropolitan Life Survey, "Violence in America's Public Schools," 71 percent of teachers and 90 percent of law enforcement officials state that the lack of parental supervision at home is a major factor that contributes to the violence in schools. Sixty-one percent of elementary students and 76 percent of secondary children agree with this assessment.

This corelates significantly to high crime rates among blacks with 73% single mothers. 53% of all violent crime. We can blame the Welfare State for destroying the father in the black family

He was mixed race.

 

[Lisa558]

He was mixed race.

I said that.

But we’ve had a half-black president who identified as black and nowhere even close a Jewish president, so the idea that certain roles are closed off to blacks is weak. It’s more likely that certain roles are closed off to Jews.

Why is it leftists don’t cry about THAT?

Only part of it. Feminism and the acceptance of single-mom-by-choice families has influenced this critical social problem, too.
Good luck convincing a democrat. They’re too close-minded and intolerant to listen as they perpetuate the problem.

The feminist movement didnt help thats for sure and created a generation of unhappy women.

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.

Its much easier to see white privilege in action.

Remember when Musk’s rockets blew up time and again? How many were wondering what the race of the engineers were? If they had happened to have been black or Hispanic, the race would have been (according to Trump supporters) the only cause of the disasters. But since the guys responsible for the failures were white...no discussion of race took place.

White privilage in action.

I suppose you don't recall the failures that NASA had in their space program that DID include blacks. Hollywood even made a movie about the successes of the black participants in those programs. BTW, how do you know there were no black engineers working for Musk? I would be willing to bet that there were as it is a requirement for contractors with the US gov't to hire minorities. Try again and try not to whine so loudly next time.

While I have no knowledge of the demographics of any of his workers, now that you mention it, yeah, no claims of "this is what you get when you hire [alleged] DEI workers".

Maybe that is because Musk hires based on merit exclusively. Being a gov't contractor he is also required to hire by EEOC regulations. You'll have to find another way to present a racist view.

Now that is straight forward misrepresentation as Trumpfy is as Jewish as they come .
To deny blood line evidence is simply being perverse .

Along the same lines as those that Deny that Hitler has clear Jewish blood lines.

Denial based on inconvenience and being upset by an unwanted fact is no excuse for lying -- see Israel presently .

hmmm, so much to work with so little cyber space for rebuttal and not sure if this poster is even real so I'll just deal with the obvious mistake first and then tear down the rest of white liberalism if you are legit and decide to come out of hiding...

...the above quote from LBJ was in 1965, three years prior to the communist take over of my party at the 1968 DNC in Chicago, that is where the party was separated by the "seen" and "unseen"as the latter laid the groundwork for todays debacle and pot stirring propaganda like your post...

Your post(s) in fact are a microcosm of the white liberal strategy...you drop a race baiting lure and hope that 2 sides attack one another over it while you stand back until the smoke clears pointing a finger at whosever money and status you are trying to get at...the privilege does reside in the white community, you are just adept at hiding it from the public with race as the distraction.
