He didn’t have a gun and he knew he couldn’t kick my ass, so he just hushed and walked off...
The Socialists, Communists, Muslims and all other pathetic grievance groups know that the key to defeating America is division for indivisibility is America’s strength.
While they are within their rights to claim and believe that “Black is Beautiful”, they’re not entitled to have the historical facts of their societal shortcomings redacted.

Psycho ex hit me with #30 20 years ago. Refused to date since.
“When I was in college I marched with Dr.Martin Luther King and I recall he was later quoted about the content of character rather than the color of a person’s skin. I am much older now so my agreement with his statement now appears to mark me as outdated among young people. Sad.”
About 10 years ago I interviewed with a bank. I think it was the first time I’d gone through an HR department rather than interviewing with the man I’d be working for. I’d just returned to the States and didn’t know how bad things had gotten.
This 20-something snowflake asked me, “What does diversity mean to you?” I replied with the famous MLK quotation, and he looked at me like I was a turd he’d just found in his Cheerios. I was baffled, but that was the end of my chances of getting past him.
Because the slave doesn’t dream of becoming free, he dreams of becoming the master.
“When I was in college I marched with Dr.Martin Luther King and I recall he was later quoted about the content of character rather than the color of a person’s skin.”
Back in the 60s-70s I also was sympathetic to Dr King’s message including people being judged by the content of their character, as it seemed a fair approach to dealing with discrimination and prejudice. Eventually I realized that it was all BULLSPIT. That no one other than perhaps King himself actually believed it or took it seriously. Affirmative action quickly morphed into hiring the unqualified and the push for “diversity” an excuse for not hiring whites. It was all a ploy, believed by naive whites trying to do the right thing, and our children will suffer for it.
My point is...it smells just as bad going in either direction doesn’t it?
The whole White Privilege crap is exactly that.
It is racism plain and simple, and if you were to substitute Jew, for white, it would read just like the crap that Goebbels published in the 1930’s
Yet nobody is willing to call them out.
They sure didn’t own a greater percentage of slaves in the United States. Blacks contributed slave labor to the early economy of the United States. That’s just a fact.
I’m willing to call them out. They’re fomenting a race war.
“Say again?”
The definition of “entitle” is “to give someone a title, right, or claim to something”
Who entitled the blacks? Who gave them a “claim to something”?
Who entitled the whites?
Perhaps the answer is the culture the blacks or whites are living in.
“They sure didn’t own a greater percentage of slaves in the United States. “
They would have if they were of a greater wealth.
Actually, the world is about 5 to 8% Caucasian, and the number is dropping fast.
Actually, we did.
It was my ancestors, both literal and cultural, that created just about every single thing of value that preceded me.
Let's be frank here.
No, that is way too low.
Paper, printing, ink, gunpowder, silk? All came from China. Japan played a major role in more recent innovations.
But you aren't your ancestors and can't claim their contributions as your own, anymore than anyone else in the world can.
I am part of a great and epic continuum of human culture and progress, wherein my people did great things in the past and will likely so so in the future, and you can’t take that away.
But hey, silk!
My ancestors were small farmers who didn't invent anything for centuries, yet I benefit from the inventions humans developed because I am human.
I suspect you're no different, as are people of other colors and races.
If you are different -- if your own ancestors really made everything we use in the modern world -- then your people must really have come down in the world lately.
