    Your arguments are somewhat logical, but lacking context. You can't ignore the history of a group of people when talking about how they should act or think. "African ways of being" most likely refers to culture: food, song, dance, etc., not to slavery and other problematic issues of the past. Slavery was never something that black people chose willingly, while food, song, and dance were chosen freely.

    The truth is that many white people DO benefit from being white, and inheriting money from their ancestors, some of which was "earned" through the hard work of slaves. Money breeds more money, and poverty breeds more poverty, generally speaking. The U.S. allows counties to determine how well the local school system is funded, so that wealthy counties have plenty of money for good teachers and facilities, and poor counties don't. Education is generally much better in the wealthier counties. Better education leads to better economic opportunities. Even within a county, the quality of education varies quite a bit. Schools in poorer areas wind up spending more money on security, and less on education. The superintendent doesn't pay as much attention to the schools in poor areas of town because parents in wealthier areas are more likely to speak up and demand accountablity for education quality. Poor parents may not know how to express their frustrations with the system in a productive way. None of this is anything the child should be punished or blamed for.

    State Department officials would not say why the 60 Afrikaners set to arrive Monday were granted refugee status, but a department memo obtained by The Post said that most of them “have witnessed or experienced extreme violence with a racial nexus,” including home invasions, murders or carjackings that took place up to 25 years ago.


    I’m thinking some of these “refugees” are going to be disappointed.

    I say we set them up in Liberty City.

    What rights specifically are you compelled to fight for? If you feel a need to fight, there must have been some injustice, yes? Feel free to share your story.

    I guess it is my way of just standing up and saying there is no such thing as white privilege, I have a right to be white, it is what I am.

    I'll tell you where you're wrong and what you say that isn't true. You say I hate Trump because I hate white people. That I enjoy watching the U.S. become less white. Yes, I hate Trump, but not because he's white. (Trump himself is ashamed of being white, which is why he paints himself orange.) And I don't give a damn one way or the other about the U.S. becoming less white. What I give a damn about is the U.S. becoming fascist. And leading the way to fascism is not a white man or a black man but an orange one. As for all the whites and blacks who voted the criminal into office. I don't hate them, I just find them disgusting.
