Like the white people who adopted Kaepernick so he could grow up to be a wealthy, ungrateful, anti-American, racist bonehead?

For decades, my wife and I paid exorbitant taxes and probably two thirds of that went to welfare and related programs. All of us have paid minorities and poor whites something like $20 trillion since the start of the “Great Society.”

If we didn’t have to pay these ridiculous taxes and carry the poor on our backs, more moms could stay home with the kids where they would be less susceptible to the propaganda and indoctrination that masquerades as “public education.”

I have zero sympathy for whatever nostrum the author is proposing. I didn’t read far enough to learn his “cure,” but I’m sure it means normal people giving more money or self-flagellation as penance.

Good Lord! The Atlantic hired another 50 IQ ape to peck and probe the keyboard. Hey, commie ape! If you’re so concerned about leftist equal outcomes, how about you donate your salary, bank account and home to a poor family in Kenya.

The fallacy of the premise is that raising a family is a zero sum game, i.e. if I do good for my family, then your family suffers.,

If young master Farnsworth studies and gets and "A" in algebra, it doesn't prevent Ta'queesha from studying and getting an "A" in algebra. Young master Farnsworth doesn't gain his "A" at Ta'queesha's expense.

Racism is genetic. In fact it’s the 2nd biological imperative. You perpetuate it by breeding.

The problem this guy has is that he believes that for one to succeed another must fail. As proven, this is a false premise.

So I suggest this gentleman open a deli as he is full of baloney.

#2: "The racism I’ve witnessed is companies hiring or promoting based on skin color instead of merit."

Heck, the most recent Miss America contest is a perfect example of this sort of racism.

So the dark side is that, ultimately, people are thinking about their own kids, and that can come at the expense of other people’s kids.

I think I've got it. If dad tells his student son to stop playing games on his cell phone and do his homework, the son might get a higher school grade than his classmate who never did homework. That would lower the classmate's self esteem, proving that dad is a racist if the classmate is black.

This type of thinking is evil and corrupt. Leftists place government in place of God, and you get this kind of bilge.
Instead of giving thanks to God for where he placed you, you get anger, resentment, jealousy, guilt.
I have nothing to be guilty for, white people have nothing to be guilty about. God chose to put us all where we are, for His reasons. I will do the best I can for me and my kids.

There is something wrong with doing what is best for the child. Parents need to do what is best for the FAMILY. Putting a child ahead of the whole is what teaches the child that the are the most important thing and that mommy and daddy will be their to make it right and fair.

Makes for a hard life and does not do the child any favors.

They've already established a precedent for this. Their called "State Equalization Boards". These are the entities that siphon funds from richer Education district and send them off to poorer ones in an attempt to "equalize" the training of our children.

I can see a future where these "equalization boards" are also used to guarantee that the overall environment that all children see is equivalent.

Of course welfare, EBT cards, food stamps, Section 8 housing, etc. are all supposed to be attempts to equalize everyone's experiences but evidently decades of failure has not convinced liberals of the inefficacy of redistribution.

Does every idiot upper class liberal not understand that there are lots of poor whites in this country?

Number of whites below poverty line: 19 million.

41% of Nation’s Poor Are White, Nearly Double the Number of Poor Blacks

The communist bastards can call me whatever tickles their seditious snowflake fancy.
I no longer give even a speck of an iota of a damn, and haven’t for quite a spell now.

People who spout this kind of insanity should be institutionalized for the safety of society. Failing that decent people should band together and drive them into the wilderness naked.
