Terms like white privilege and reverse racism are racist on their own...

Well, unfortunately I've been warned against using racial slurs on this PC forum. Otherwise I'd have choice words for you, good sir.

 

I'd like to say that comparing the US to Denmark is apples and oranges but it isn't that close at least apples and oranges are both fruit.

 

Is Germany apple-y enough for you? Why hasn't their welfare state lead to similar social problems?

Do you think that maybe the problem runs the other direction?

 

Well for one thing the don't spend nearly as much and they don't kick fathers out of the house.

 

They spend more, which isn't surprising to anybody who knows anything. Nearly all other Western countries have more extensive welfare spending than the United States.

And wait, I thought the fathers got kicked out of the house because of welfare? What am I to deduce from the fact that countries that spend more on welfare don't have the same social problems we do?

 

Nonsense. The US federal budget alone is larger than that of any other two countries. Then consider that the federal budget is less than 2/3 of total government spending on welfare.

 

I'm obviously talking per capita.

Anyways, I don't get how the size of the country changes the social/psychological effects of welfare on the population.

EDIT: Oh no, where did all my new friends go?

 

Concord rules the discussion.

 

A racist is a racist, regardless of skin color. A black racist is no less of a bigot because they aren't white. But according to the far left, a black racist isn't actually a racist at all. They are simply "reversing" the racism of the only true racists, white people.

 

To be fair, whites sell just as much drugs as blacks.

 

We have the most prisoners because we've spent years throwing people in prison for simply using drugs when that was their only crime. Almost half of prisoners currently serving time in US prisons (48.7%) were convicted for simple, non-violent, non-gang related drug possession.

 

Because they haven't had a large enough minority population to have similar social problems. Now with millions of Muslims invading Germany, they will start to have similar problems.

 

Although, to be fair, there are 7 times as many whites as blacks.

 

seems like what it is these people complaining about racism and other people saying you deserve it.

they're saying that it's okay to be racist as long as you're racist against white people.

 

Yes, it is being an adult.

 

So there is no racism. I don't know if I would agree with that certainly there are people who are racist.

 

That doesn’t mean the concept of “white privilege” is fundamentally racist, only that specific (mis)use of the concept is.

That sounds like another misuse. Reverse racism typically refers to things like “affirmative action” rather than more general discrimination against white people.

Discrimination exists in intent and action, not theoretical concepts. Even the word “n***er” isn’t fundamentally racist, the racism only comes in when it is used with discriminatory intent of effect.

 

It's so hard being white. But it's a burden us white's must deal with....amiright?!

 

Oh, so the problem is that we have too many non-whites?

 

Wait a minute, while ago you said "not knowing where we fit into the equation" IS white privilege, yet here you seem to be saying white privilege is about "maintaining the impoverishment of our non-white community" So which is it?

 

Basically true- readily shown by the illegal immigration issue. Illegal entry is a violation of law, as well as the simple concept of not entering property when you have no right to enter and have no permission to enter.
How can it be racial when the violators are non-white, and not a violation of law? Race does not exclude or include in terms of legal actions, the laws apply to all people. When color becomes a license to exempt the person from equal application of law- it destroys the credibility of law, attacks the basic premise of equal justice. Discrimination is action targeted BECAUSE of color alone. The vast majority of people legally entering the US at the southern border are Hispanic, so obviously if we were discriminating by race- we wouldn't be allowing that.

The distortion here is political gaming, literally an attempt to make color a state of privilege rather than a state of equality- and not for honorable reasons at all. In order for a society to treat people as equals, it must stop using color as an excuse for differences in treatment of them, period. The people that take it off-center in either direction ARE acting as racist .

 

I didn't say the latter, at all. Maybe you should read what I was responding to.

 

Pretty much.



The blacker the city, the higher the murder rate:



White crime in the US is about the same as that in Europe:

1.79 murders/100K population for the white non-Hispanic population of the US puts us between Romania and Montenegro.

 

What you're really saying is that anyone pointing out racism...is supposedly a racist.

BS

 

No, what I am saying is that when a black man is unfairly prejudice to a white man, in a way which would be called racism by the left, if the roles were reversed, the left refuses to call it racism. Things that would be called racist, if the person doing it were white, are not called racist if the person doing is not white.
