So now anyone who questions ACORN’s tactics is instantly a ‘drooling idiot’ who sees racism everywhere? That’s a convenient way to shut down debate without addressing facts. ACORN’s history is complicated, and while calling the entire organization racist might be an oversimplification, ignoring legitimate concerns about its practices doesn’t make those concerns vanish.

There were never any legitimate concerns about ACORN's "tactics" or "practices."

As for Affirmative Action and DEI, acknowledging their flaws and unintended consequences

Nobody who does not start from the assumption of "reverse racism" -- that is, nobody honest -- ever points out any "flaws" or "unintended consequences" of AA or DEI.

"very hard"?! It would be easy for Trump to bring prices down -- all he has to do is 1) drop all his tariffs and 2) stop deporting illegals.

Since the 60's. Or doesn't anyone remember Darren Stephens (Dick York) from Bewitched?

This is the kind of low key racism white people face. There were actually 2 different actors who portrayed Darren Stephens on Bewitched. It goes to show that most people don’t pay attention to white men and see them all as looking alike.

Another assclown that assumes I'm white.

And thinks a small rural town is "elite".....LOL

Anyone who's not a USA hating communist and femminist MUST be white!!!! You guys are literlaly that fucking dumb and racist....

Why do you think I think you’re white? Aren’t you half pinoy or some other South Pacific Islander?

Still, who in Sebastopol would be racist against you? What were you, Analy class of 2002?

Did you keep track of your best driving time on the Bohemian highway from Occidental to Monte Rio?

 

[AlexBailey]

Every time you jump in, it’s like you’re auditioning for the role of "Captain Non Sequitur," master of derailing conversations with nonsense no one asked for. It’s as if your brain has a panic button that fires off random nonsense the moment it detects a coherent thought. You don’t derail conversations, you annihilate them, leaving everyone else staring at the wreckage, wondering if you’re trolling or just permanently lost in your own confusion.

Dude, I’m an ADHD poster child, what’s your excuse? You’re the one who just tried to claim Trump’s Russia fixation is a hoax again.

Yeah. MAGA wants to stomp out anti-fascism.

They say the quiet part out loud and proud, then try to claim they aren’t pro-fascism?

 

[kreemi_pi]

so @Chadrone and you are saying you dispute that white privilege exists? Or just some of the numerous examples its happened over the course of history? All of the unearned social, economic, and cultural advantages that white people benefit from in Western societies, simply because they are white....doesnt exist?
Actually, because these benefits exist, you likely cant see them and cant even fathom theyd exist and cannot relate to not facing the systemic disadvantages that people of color experience daily.

But I am guessing you may want some examples...because otherwise its just a person yapping right?

So for example, being able to go shopping in a store, mall, whatever without being followed or harassed by store security based on your race.
And then at said store, easily finding products like "flesh-colored" bandages, makeup, or hair products that match your skin tone and hair type.
Perhaps you dont notice always seeing the people of your race represented in media as protagonists, in positive roles, and in everyday advertising...
Or even having your cultural foods placed in generic supermarket aisles rather than a separate "ethnic" aisle, framing your culture as the default. I mean, everyone goes the "Mexican" aisle for taco shells, salsa? Or the Asian foods aisle for rice, soy sauce?!
What about being able to go for a walk, use public transportaton, or move into a new neighborhood without the fear of being perceived as dangerous or unwelcome because of your race? Cant fathom that because you are white...and male!

Want more?! Happy to provide! Maybe youll actually think about one of these? But you eont. Youll say its all BS that doesnt exist and the left uses it as a crutch or some meaningless talking point...because in your little mind, you cant possibly see it exists.

Lets talk about jobs! Some of you tihnk Black people have it better now!

What about being more likely to receive a job interview call back when your resume has a "white-sounding" name, even with identical qualifications to a "non-white-sounding" name...
Maybe not having your natural hair or cultural attire deemed "unprofessional" in the workplace?
How about those lovely compliments that are how they could succeed in a challenging situation without being called a "credit to your race/sex" or having your competence questioned...?
And now with Trump erasing parts of history, accessing history textbooks and children's books that abundantly testify to the existence and contributions of people of your race and culture. are being wiped out! Gotta love that!

Heck, we did not even get into the law/police situations and other government situations!

How about white people being less likely to be racially profiled, stopped by police, or face a higher risk of incarceration for the same crimes committed by people of color? I know I know, your racist mind assumes every Black person is already a criminal gangmember, or crack-whore baby mama and some other terms you all have already said in this thread and others. The racism just oozes out of you all like your pre-cum when you watch Fox News.
By being white you are more likely to have your symptoms listened to and receive equitable medical care without racial bias affecting treatment quality! Didnt think of that one I bet. Admittedly, i dont think of that one much but have seen it happen actually!
Lets talk buying homes! Caucasians are more likely to get a mortgage or rent housing in a desired area, allowing for greater generational wealth accumulation that has historically been denied to people of color through systemic discrimination like redlining.
Ohhhh this one might be a good one about now!...
Being able to criticize the government or express fear of its policies without being seen as a cultural outsider or representative of your entire race.
Right @kreemi_pi you can maybe chime in if you so desire...I know Ive seen you get in on smacking these racists around a bit.

The fact is, the core of white privilege is the ability to move through life with the expectation that societal systems and institutions will be neutral or advantageous to you, without having to consider race in each situation.

Well I better not say anything here because if I even refer to myself as black, these dipshits kindly point out that I AM THE RACIST. They also cite me for being uneducated because I'm black, despite the fact that I hold a Master's Degree.

Also they called me "KNEE GROW" and said my lips look like a flat tire.

Those guys. They're so funny! Love their sense of humor, it's charming.

The color of your skin has NOTHING to do with whether you're racist or not.

Deal with that. If you can.

Of course it does. Using the n-word would be racist in a white but not in a black.

 

[Chernosoth]

Trump is closer to the cynical asshole side of Vance's comment years ago: "“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler." But he was actually not cynical enough to be ready for the Nixonian tactics used against him in his first term.

if approval ratings was like tv ratings and since the approval ratings are bad which in tv ratings terms that would be low ratings

then donnie j trump would be canceled

 

[subdudeme13]

You could be right about that. I’ve never been or met anyone from those countries. But if it results in people dying or being offered assisted suicide because they can’t get the treatment they need I don’t think it’s worth it.

Oh! I am right. They are basically capitalist but the billionaires pay a higher percentage of income tax then their secretaries. Everyone in those countries has health care and they are not left to die on their own because they can't get hospital care or treatment. They don't go bankrupt because of medical bills.
In my case I approve of assisted suicide but then I was with my mother when she was suffering in the hospital. She whispered in my ear she wanted to die because she was suffering. She lingered for days and there was nothing they could do to relieve her suffering. My father-in-law died in the VA but at least they could give him morphine till he expired so he was comfortable.

 

[Chadrone]

Why do you think I think you’re white?

You directly implied I am a benefactor of white privilege.......something you tried to do before too.

Still, who in Sebastopol would be racist against you? What were you, Analy class of 2002?

Most the Democrats are, just like here on the PB.

 

[AlexBailey]

Where did I say that? I call you “Born on third base Bot-boy.” Does that imply that you’re white?

I’m saying that being raised in the elite progressive town of Sebastopol CA means you didn’t experience much racism while growing up.. Am I wrong? Do tell us how racist the mean old Analy high Tigers were to you.

Most the Democrats are, just like here on the PB.

Tells us how Sonoma County CA dems were more racist to you than the rednecks?

Did you never list your pinoy or whatever ethnicity on any college or military applications?

All of Politruk's posts can be summed as products of the Ostrich Effect (noun): The heroic psychological maneuver where a person, faced with an obvious problem, elects to bury their head so deep in the metaphorical sand that even reality can’t find them.
