NO... Im positive that beyond shit talking, no one in the middle class will trade down to being poor just to loose a bit of melanin. Being white makes things easier, that’s not debatable, but being white does not mean an instant ticket back to middle class.
Its took on average 30 years (thats 15 to 20 working years)…

Ok, Im going to ask you a serious question here. This is not a troll, and I am genuienly starting a dialog with you.

You claim that he experiences white privilege every day of his life.
Regardless of if this is a factual statement or gaslighting, what does his recognition of it accomplish.

I ask this because short of…

This reply makes it sound like you’re and asshole Richard. Stop being an asshole, to someone that does not deserve it.

Last in line for admission to an Ivy League school is no small accomplishment.

Not to go and be dismissive, but your worry assumes one thing that isn’t necessarily true.

Way to go... You completely missed the entire concept of a hypothetical.

I have another question. Is your retort ever actually going to, you know, retort her comment?

Im pretty sure you did not make it to “elite” debate team.
Honestly, how about you just try not being a smarmy little dick to people that you dont know online, or you could keep doing so as Ive read that Breitbart’s commenting…

Depends on who you are, where you are from, what you were taught, what social circles you are part of.

This is not a black & white discussion (non-racial use), and has a great deal to do with self identification. While I know that articles on the ROOT that make claims about “White People” are not actually making…

Ohhhh I see. You are conflating Marxist Economic Theory, with Marxism as a whole.

Quite honestly you should at the least read this theory as it is enlightening, and no more correct/wrong in totality than other competing economic theories. If someone told you that they will take you American card away from you for…

No, that’s not what I said, but I can see how you think that’s what I said, when you take it outside of the context of my statement. I think you might have had one to many Lambics before reading my post.

I started by stating that today’s society here in the US is not to dissimilar to how class difference worked in…

I know what you said. Im not trying to twist your words.
I hope you can recognize that Im a rational person and just debating a topic I feel is relevant to today’s zeitgeist . I assume you do as you responded instead of leaving me in the greys.

I sure as fuck hope that none of the 3 people that starred your post were the same ones that starred mine.

Im just going to let you in on a little secret. Dropping a words like Marxist, Communist, Socialist, ect into an argument that is not actively discussing said topics, is the modern equivalent of Godwin’s law. IE…

AGAIN, you are grouping white people together as if the majority of white people have any level of control over their society. They don’t!

Stating that he or I need to make a clarification of “poor” white people so you can understand which group you are talking about is astoundingly ignorant sounding. I know you are…

Well that’s it... America’s automakers are now dishonest and fake. You should most likely not buy American cars, to show them how patriotic you are.
/S

Centrists, Leftists, Socialists, Communists, those are just words jumbled up in the salad that shoot forth from their mouth. There is no Centrist or Leftist for these idiots.
There are only people that do not agree with them, and those people are bad.

I can’t claim the left is any less guilty of this. I think the only…

Thats a nice straw man you have there... got your lighter ready?

Your view is just as naive as any redneck that assumes all crime in his area is perpetrated by the blacks in the community on the other side of the tracks. Its scapegoating and nothing more.

Our society is not all that different from the monarchies of…

As Ive stated here before, Tampa is my home, and Seminole Heights is roughly a 15 minute drive from my side of town. Even if this section is a bit gentrified, it is filled with some beautiful 1920's Bungalow homes.

An interesting note about this story is that our cities Mayor, Bob Buckhorn (such a comical sounding…

“He spit at her, I saw that. He didn’t spit on her. Like (spit) like thats what you are.”

You can get all upset if you want, but IF thats what happened and he spit at her, without actually spitting, or actually spitting but spitting next to her. Well that shit has a whole different meaning.
Sorry but the girl is…

Now Im sure you hated the simple fact that you had to write about “Punk Rock Barbie”, I know I would, but that is ZERO excuse to break out MS Paint.

Have a little dignity in your work, god damnit. Took me all of 2 minutes to make Punk Rock Barbie Trump.
Feel free to replace that horrid thing you concocted if you like.

There is no real news to worry about.
If you are the type of person that dicects everything someone says or does and actively looks to find and issue, Im sure you can.
If you are old enough to recognize that your cultural and social norms/taboos in this country are not easily paralleled with that of another country’s,…

Man you really really suck at debate.
