... I've used racial slurs ...

Because you ARE a racist, like so many democrat hypocrites.

I bet you’re one of those white guys who claims you don’t see color.

I can see orange.

My white privilege... I am not seeing it.

My first job I was 11 years old. I took over my older brothers paper route. I did this route for about 3 years. My parents made me save all but $1.00 per week I got to spend. I bought my first bicycle with this money.
By 13 I also mowed two lawns in the summer, and shoveled their snow in the winter.
At 15, there was a auto body garage down the street. After bugging the owner several times if he needed any help, he finally hired me to do clean up work after school. I did a good job, he also had some rental properties he owned so I started helping him doing some painting/minor repairs etc.
At 17 I started working at Captain D's restaurant after school my senior year to save money.
I was born in a trailer court.
When I was 4 my father got on at a GM plant. This changed a lot for us, we moved into a house but it was still only 2 bedrooms. We lived there until I was in the 3rd grade. I slept in the same bedroom with two brothers.
We then moved to a 3 bedroom house...which was awesome.

I am now 55 years old. The longest period I have been unemployed was 6 weeks since I was 11 years old. I have worked for every single thing I have.

Good post.
I was 6th of 12 children my parents had together. We grew up poor. All five girls shared a bedroom with two beds. The boys shared one bedroom with two beds. Some slept on the couch. Nobody gave us shit. I dropped out of school in the tenth grade. I worked shoveling snow, picking and selling catnip, cleaning motels, dry cleaners,. I got my GED at 21. Since then I received a certificate for computer and job skills and Associates degree in drafting and design. I worked a forklift in a warehouse, did seismograph work, cleaning service, bookkeeping, operational manager. I am now semi retired at 64. I work part time with my husband, who is a civil engineer. I do CAD drafting and help small communities obtain park and recreational grants. Anyone who thinks I benefitted from AA can kiss my lily white ass.

Many years ago, the argument was made that the Scholastic Aptitude Test ("SAT") was "Culturally biased." That is, the questions were presented in such a way that only "white" people got them. Black people were at a cultural disadvantage, and that's why their scores generally sucked.

The people who wrote the tests at ETS (all Leftist academics) were horrified, and did a complete "scrub" of every single test they publish, but could find only a few questions anywhere that could even arguably be considered "biased." When pressed, the accusers couldn't come up with a single example of a question on any test that placed any Black person at a disadvantage, so the "culturally biased" Narrative was put to bed for a while. The reason why Blacks do so much worse, on average, than everyone else was that they were, on average, academically inferior.

We see this same repetitive theme played out in a number of arenas today. We hear the expression, "mass incarceration." But wait...there are no mass trials, groups of people are not convicted, what means this "mass incarceration"? Give me an example of mass incarceration. Doesn't everyone get an individual trial - or individually negotiate a plea bargain, an intrinsic part of which is a guilty plea???

It turns out that, yes, everyone does get their bit of justice individually, and there is no such thing as "mass incarceration." Indeed, nearly all of the Blacks in America's prisons today are there because they, individually, pleaded GUILTY to some crime and were duly sentenced. And yet the expression, "mass incarceration," is still ubiquitous among Leftists, as though it were actually a Thing.

Another recent Leftist discovery is "institutional racism." What is Institutional Racism? Give me an example. Show me someone who was victimized by Institutional Racism, and how it actually occurred.

And again, they cannot come up with any specific examples of Institutional Racism; its existence must be inferred from the lack of Black representatives in corporate, institutional, and government agency leadership positions. But show me an example of a real Black individual who had the credentials to be taken in and to rise to the top, but failed due to her race. Sorry, can't do it. Like unicorns, they don't exist. There is no such thing as Institutional Racism. And yet it remains a major part of the Leftist lexicon.

Consider slogans like, "Hands up - don't shoot!" Turns out these words were NEVER UTTERED by Michael Brown, Jr., as found by a police investigation, district attorney's investigation, state attorney general's investigations and the investigation of the U.S. Attorney General, who happened to be Black. And yet, we still see that vacuous slogan on T-shirts today.

Worst of all is "Black Lives Matter." It is stated and shouted as though an indictment of every "white" person in the land. And yet, it positively BEGS the question, "Black lives matter to whom?" Certainly not to Black people. 90% of Black homicides are committed by other Black people, and even with the recent elevation of this phenomenon to stratospheric levels of public attention, the Black community continues its internal carnage as though oblivious to the political campaign being waged on its behalf. And the other question, unfortunately, is whether some Black lives matter at all. When some Black gangbanger is killed in a turf war at 2am in D.C., does that life matter? Maybe to his mother, but for the rest of the country, maybe "we" are a tiny bit better off with that particular ne'er-do-well at room temperature. Black lives matter? Prove it.

And my answer would be, most white people are racist, because we are brought up in this society. Overcoming it has to be a conscious effort.

Obviously, there is a wide gap to the employer who shows preference to white employees, and the outright nutbag who burns a cross. Everyone agrees the latter is more egregious, but the former is a lot more common.

speak for yourself racist.

A lot of people either have never seen a dictionary definition of racism or they create their own definitions. This is from one of the government agencies which oversees the enforcement of portions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (EEOC)

​

"Race discrimination involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) unfavorably because he/she is of a certain race or because of personal characteristics associated with race (such as hair texture, skin color, or certain facial features). Color discrimination involves treating someone unfavorably because of skin color complexion.​

It is unlawful to harass a person because of that person's race or color.​

Harassment can include, for example, racial slurs, offensive or derogatory remarks about a person's race or color, or the display of racially-offensive symbols. Although the law doesn't prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted)"​

The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer"​

So the above is a definition of racial discrimination specific to the workplace but it explains some types of behavior that can be viewed as racist.

Why The Left Needs Us All To Believe The United States Is Racist Forever

As leftists believe racism is constant throughout American history, they take the absence of racist sentiments to mean racism is hiding deep in our minds.

thefederalist.com

From the link;

"Where, then, is racism to be found in America, if it is not in its law, its public rhetoric, and its institutions? Polls make it hard to find, too. Eighty-seven percent of Americans approve of black-white marriage, up from 4 percent in 1954. Gallup calls it “one of the largest shifts of public opinion in Gallup history.” When researchers asked teenagers to name the most famous Americans in history (excluding presidents), their top three picks were MLK, Rosa Parks, and Harriet Tubman.

The last frontier is now the subconscious. Because the quantity of racism is held to be constant throughout American history, the absence of racist sentiments in people can only mean that racism is hiding deep in the recesses of their minds.

With the help of Harvard University’s widely touted Implicit Association Test, everyone’s latent racism can now be brought to the fore. The test, of course, reveals no such thing. A peer-reviewed study found “little evidence to support [its] more provocative claim: that people possess unconscious racist attitudes.” Even Vox had to admit that “it might not work at all.”

In the end, all we are left with as the definitive proof of American racism today is “systemic racism,” the meaning of which boils down to: America is racist because, well, it just is. Racism somehow suffuses the whole even though it is not visible in any of its major parts. Whereas all other racist regimes in history openly proclaimed their racism, America has pulled off the amazing feat of purging its laws, institutions, and culture of racism — all in the interest, of course, of perpetuating racism."

I'm so fricking over the morons using the race card-------that I have decided to say yeah I'm racist, to shut the users down from the git go. I love off color jokes btw---can't get enough of them. Gene Wilder, Fred Sanford, And ALL in the FAMILY were hillarious and I RETAIN THE RIGHT to not like whomever I want for whatever reason I want whenever I want and I retain the right to use my head to call things as I see them even if it using stats. I retain the right to chose what I am and what I identify as.
