You're the one who was arguing you were biased against racially, sexually and gender-wise, but then collapsed it all to this:
cam wrote:The 1%, in my opinion, have too much. The rest of us, the 90%'ers ...
:rolleyes: Your arguments were rendered meaningless when you let that slip. Thinking too much about "the 1%" is your problem, cam, no one else's.


Easy there, Lemmie. You can put down the $30 bottles of Cabernet and drink Yellow Tail, instead. Use the savings to send a disadvantaged kid to school, Madame Bourgeoisie. Anyway. I see I'm getting exactly 0 commitments from the White Liberals here to set aside their White Privilege.

It's just shameful.

:rolleyes: apparently imagining what the 1% do and projecting it on people you don't know is part of your problem as well. Xenophon's suggestion might help with that shame you feel.

Here is a study from The National Bureau of Economic Research modeling a process where blacks receive closer scrutiny in job performance where smaller mistakes are magnified and this discriminatory monitoring leads to lower performance evaluations and ultimately more unemployment and lower wages on average. Those facts reinforce more racially stereotyped discriminatory monitoring in a self-sustaining feedback loop:

This is definitionally an example of racial privilege.

It's receiving renewed focus in the twitterverse for reasons I don't understand. Unfortunately, no one has achieved the galaxy brain level of Doc and pointed out that because the white authors of the study haven't given up their academic careers to live a life of street paupers, it proves their findings are disingenuous.

Didn't want to start a new thread - So I thought I'd post this here.

I realize that Antifa is a radical left wing thing - but what do y'all think of the chant?

I do not see it as having anything to do with liberal. It is naïve at best though likely intentionally destructive if not just dumb.

History being taught in school these days?
