Opinion: I'm a middle-aged Black father. I want to ask White teen males this question (CNN)
CNN ^ | Keith Magee

Posted on 05/22/2022 1:48:52 PM PDT by wac3rd

I am a middle-aged African American father, reeling from the sheer horror of what happened to members of my community in Buffalo. Through my pain, I am praying for all the victims and their traumatized families, friends and neighbors -- and for all the minority Americans who are feeling even more afraid now than they did before.

(snip)

Because you are male, you were born a winner of the patriarchal jackpot. You are more likely to rise to the top of the career ladder and will be better paid on your way up. The state will not attempt to dictate what you can and cannot do with your own body. On top of that, because you are White, and you live in a country that is structurally racist, you enjoy the huge privilege your skin color gives you.

(snip)

No one will try to rob you of your right to vote. You don't need to be terrified of law enforcement officers. You will benefit from better education, health care, job opportunities and finances, for example, than your peers who happen to be Black. Although your ancestors also likely moved here from somewhere else at some point in the past, it probably wasn't as shackled slaves. If you have the added bonus of being Christian, heterosexual, cisgender and able-bodied, then you might well never know firsthand how it feels to be stigmatized, marginalized or hated because of some aspect of yourself over which you have absolutely no control. That makes you very lucky indeed.

(snip)

People who openly peddle crazed, racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories such as the Great Replacement Theory -- the likes of Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik -- are out to grab power, not to help you.

The black on white murder rate is 5x the white on black murder rate.

You can’t argue with willingfull ignorance like his.

Don’t even try. Facts don’t matter to him. Only being a victim and benefiting from it matters to him.

Affirmative action treats blacks like they have royal blood.

It is racism against whites and Asians.

“Because you are male, you are more likely to rise to the top of the career ladder and will be better paid on your way up.”

Highly qualified white or “promising, obvious potential black with a criminal history” … Who gets hired?

“The state will not attempt to dictate what you can and cannot do with your own body.”

Are you that disgusting of a liar?

“No one will try to rob you of your right to vote.”

Damn, you are stupid and proud of it.

“You don’t need to be terrified of law enforcement officers.”

Except for being arbitrarily murdered or getting a flash bang tossed in your infant’s crib.

The question is “What are you (white males) going to do with that luck?”
Gee. Work for generations to build freedom and prosperity and a wealthy black Equal Opportunity hire calls it “luck.”

I’d like to ask him why black bodies line Chicago streets every weekend but he and CNN aren’t outraged.

Actually i ended it right here:

“The state will not attempt to dictate what you can and cannot do with your own body. “

100 to 1 this race hustler was 100% in favor of vax mandates for the Kung Flu

You have go to CNN for the answer, so I’ll spare you.

The question is “what will you do with your luck?”

He doesn’t really want to ask a question, he just wants to tie a bunch of young men to chairs and lecture them.

Perhaps his questions should be directed to someone like Barak Obama or Kamala Harris who have made to the top of this “racist ” society. My guess neither of the would give him the time of day.

Twenty years ago this exact same theory was called "The Emerging Democratic Majority" and liberals loved it! They wrote books about it!

I beg to differ on these remarks: The state DOES dictate what to do with my body, specifically with the shots they refer to as “vaccines,” sometimes costing us our livelihood if we don’t comply. And YOU have way MORE privilege than we do. That’s a FACT. I could go on and on, but why bother?

“”Great Replacement Theory “”

Where in the devil did this come from? Other than someone dreaming up some term that would get under the skin of people, can anyone explain its origin and when it took place? It’s sure new to me and I haven’t been sleeping through the past 80 years. Is that all it takes? Someone to put a name to something to stir people up and it becomes a THING that becomes controversial?

Boy - could we conservatives ever have fun. We could put forth a bogus idea every day - sit back and watch the idiots lose their minds!

Note to Magee: Per WKBW, 2020 and 2021 were Buffalo’s most violent years in decades with 65 people killed in 2020 and 67 in 2021.

Seems to me white teen males aren’t the demographic you should be focusing on.
