The Pollitics of White Privilege

[SeaMajor7]

I'm up at 5 AM for the same reason... what's your point?

But I'm honest enough to realize the following.

I've been in the Civilian world since I left the Army in 1992.

Since then, every person who has ever made the decision to hire me has been a white person, usually a fellow white male. I have never had to ask a person of color for a job. Not even the time I worked for a Japanese=owned company, it was still a white person making the hiring decision.

It isn't just the openly racist guy who is the problem here. (Their type are usually loser who are never making decisions.) It's the subtle effect of racism that we tend to emphasize with people who remind us of ourselves.

I've told this story before, and it's instructive.

Worked in a Department where we had three women leave us in 2012.
A Chinese woman who worked for the company for 9 years.
A black woman who worked for the company for 2 years.
A white intern who worked for us for 3 months.

Being the sociable bunch we were back then, we held farewell luncheons for all three of them. Now- Take a wild guess which of the three our White fifty-something general manager made changes in his personal schedule to attend.

Um. Yup. He showed up for the intern.

Now, I worked for this guy for 7 years, and to his credit, I never heard him say anything even remotely racist. The Chinese lady, however, was under the impression he didn't like her and was surprised when she got a mostly positive review from him.

Find the nearest bridge and JUMP!!!!
Rescue your tortured soul.

Sparky, I'm from Kansas. I've hung out and still hang out with plenty of "redneck, white trash, blue collar" types. I put that in quotes because they were none of those things. They are honest non racist whites who might just happen to understand how blacks might feel the way some do without making excuses for whites, denying the problem, or calling blacks racists for talking about race.

Racist

It is possible that a Chinese woman working in a manufacturing plant as a peasant is more educated than educated Michelle Obama who lives the life that 99% of people wished they had and complains of all of the suffering she has went through in our shallow woke society.

Anyone see the interview with Winsone Sears?

The truth will set you free.

Except we don't have a system of merit when completely unqualified people, except when skin color is a qualification, are used to push out well qualified people.

Except racial quotas only provide an opportunity to fail upward. That's a flagship component of the Dem / Leftist politburo.

Works on the assumption that people being considered aren't well qualified.

It amazes me that a bunch of people who would never have qualified to get into Yale or Harvard are here whining about who qualifies to get into Yale or Harvard.

The same can be said of Clarence Thomas (only picked because he was black) and Amy Barrett (only picked because she had a vagina). And unlike Jackson, they are both idiots.

Does your doctor know you are off your medications?

Michelle Obama would be a pretty accomplished woman even if she hadn't married the former president.

Unlike the Slovenian Prostitute that followed her.

Your concession is duly noted.
And frankly, you seem to be the one with the anger issues.
Guess life turned out to be one big disappointment for you.

The same cannot be said of Judge Thomas.

What was said is that pretend Judge Brown was a product of quotas pushed by the Dems / Marxists.

Interesting that this thread on RACE hasn't been moved to the RACE forum.
I bet if the subject matter was reversed it would have been moved within 10 responses

I want the best in our nation to keep the nation the best. Admitting our hiring the 50 thousandth person on the list over the 20th on the list when you need fifty people adds up over the years and decades when using race and gender as part of the process.

There is a reason why you post at the times you do....

It is because you live in ISRAEL.

You have a short memory. The ONLY reason Thomas was picked was because he was replacing Thurgood Marshall, and even Bush realized going back to an all-white SCOTUS would be a bad look.

Thomas' career up to that point was less than two years on the Bench. Before that, he ran agencies that the GOP didn't care about and largely ignored.

Oh, bit of liberal heresy here, I thought the charges Anita Hill brought were utter bullshit. He should have been rejected on the basis of his lack of qualifications, not a dubious story from an ex-employee.

You have a race obsession. Nothing in your silly conspiracy theories supports any notion that Judge Thomas was a diversity hire as was pretend Judge Brown.

Your slur aimed at Judge Barrett is because she had stellar qualifications and because she is white.

As a self-loathing ultra-leftist, that's a script you adhere to.

Except, no, not really.

Again, the thing is that 42% of white admissions to Harvard fell under the category of "ALDC" - Athletics, Legacies, Dean's Interest, Children of Staff -

They weren't the 20th on the list, either, they got in because of other considerations.

Of course anyone who gets to the selection process at all is "qualified". It just depends which factors you consider.

Is diversity and important factor? Yes, it is when you live in a diverse society.

The ironic thing about SCOTUS is that it is almost entirely diversity hires now. They have FOUR women, Two Blacks, one Hispanic, and one Jew. Seven of the Justices are Catholic.

There is a reason why you post at the times you do....

It is because you live in ISRAEL.

Wow, you think I'm Pro-Israel? Seriously? Have you like not been paying attention?

 

[JoeB131]

It wasn't a conspiracy theory, it was openly talked about at the time. I'm guessing you weren't around then or not old enough to be paying attention.

Everyone on BOTH sides of the Aisle said that Thurgood Marshall had to be replaced with another black.

 

[JoeB131]

Your slur aimed at Judge Barrett is because she had stellar qualifications and because she is white.

Being a religious crazy who reproduces like a queen termite is not a "qualification". The only reason she was picked was because they didn't want to have a repeat of Rapey Kavanaugh and ex-girlfriends coming out of the woodwork to call him a creep.

 

[EMH]

Wow, you think I'm Pro-Israel? Seriously? Have you like not been paying attention?

Very much so. You push every Zionist Fascist Fraud, Hate Hoax, False Flag Attack, Science Fraud, and Lie that Zionist Fascism pushes....


You call the USS Liberty, for example, an "accident." That is all the proof anyone with IQ over 5 needs to see you for what you are...

The Most Incredible Story Never Told: LBJ’s Order to Destroy the USS Liberty

Naw, I call it an accident because that's exactly what it was.

Now if you had been paying attention and had reading skills, you'd see that I'm very critical of how Israel treats the Palestinians and the outsized influence that AIPAC has on our foreign policy.

Really...
