Years ago, there was a Saturday Night Live skit that spoofed those black attitudes that you refer to. The white guy gets on the bus, and the driver waves the fare. The white guy goes to the bank, and the teller gives him free money. And so forth. (Actually, the "white guy" might have been a black actor disguised as a white person, but the point is the same.)

Many blacks seem to think that most white-collar jobs require no talent, intelligence, knowledge, or discipline, so that the filling of those jobs has nothing to do with qualifications or experience, only privilege and connections.

Same with some feminazis-a good point has been made that you never see the feminazis protesting for their equal rights to be garbage collectors or sewer workers.

It has been my personal experience that there are many entry level jobs available to Blacks and other minorities. The problem is, and has been for decades, is that minorities primarily, and certainly whites to a lesser extent, have no idea that holding a job requires showing up every day for work! They can’t, or won’t, even do that as it’s too hard.

This is not merely anecdotal evidence. Look at the high school dropout rate. Compare the dropout rate of Blacks to Whites. 53% of Blacks drop out of high school whereas 22% of Whites drop out of high school. Moreover, 72.2% of all Black children are born out of wedlock. I believe this statistic is even more damaging than the HS dropout rate.

The bottom line is that a staggering 72.2% of Blacks are born out of wedlock most certainly never experiencing an intact family — ever. 53% of Black don’t even have a high school education and therefore never were disciplined enough to attend school on a regular basis.

Therefore, how is it my racist fault for the lack of upward mobility and financial success of Blacks? Is it White privilege that has lead to these stats and the consequences wrought from them?

Yes, it was Eddie Murphy.

White like me. Saturday Night Live skit.

One could even say it applies to a job like ..... President of the United States.
