Think of it this way. If you are being lynched it's probably of little comfort to know that others of your $group on the other side of the world are doing rather well for themselves.
Nobody is getting lynched. If whites are so "privileged", then why do Asians and Jews systematically outperform them in the United States? Must be because of Asian and Jewish privilege.
Oh I see, I didn't realize you meant the idea it's not okay to be white is mainstream is untrue.
You just ignored it. It was the very first thing I quoted and responded to.
It was just a troll cooked up by 4chan
4chan was proved right. Merely putting up a sign that said, "It's okay to be white" was enough to cause an "investigation". That's how fucking absurd the whole thing is. Which is why it's laughable you led with, "On the other hand I don't think the idea that it's not okay to be white is in any way common or visible in popular culture etc."
In any case, the opposition to it is because it's a racist troll designed to be diminish efforts to tackle actual racism.
No, the opposition to it is because, culturally, it's not okay to be white. White's have to be made to feel guilty, have to fall on their swords, celebrate being turned a minority in their own countries, and forever grovel and apologize. They, of all races, are alone in not being allowed an identity or culture.
I conveniently quoted it for you in my reply. It was the first sentence. You chose to ignore the direct refutation and instead wanted to move the goalposts. Here, let's do it again:
On the other hand I don't think the idea that it's not okay to be white is in any way common or visible in popular culture etc.
You're a liar. There would never be an "investigation" if somebody posted, "It's okay to be Black|Hispanic|Jewish" signs.
People absolutely are complaining back lack of diversity in China, for example. Right now the front page of BBC News has a story about the oppression of Muslims in China.
That's a complaint about how they are treating Muslims in China. They aren't advocating that China becomes less "Chinese" by mass migration. They don't advocate that China takes in more "refugees" or economic migrants. That's reserved for White countries, where it's celebrated that Whites will become the minority.
Better update the Statue of Liberty then "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" needs to be replaces with "Fuck You, I got mine, go home brownies".
Gladly. Remove the plaque. It's an albatross around our neck. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France and meant to shine out as a beacon to spread the idea of liberty across the world. It was not a gift to make America the dumping ground of the world.
Perhaps we should ask the native Americans what they think of these "blow ins" from across the sea.
Yes, ask them. Did they have a choice in the matter? If they could choose, would they have prevented the mass migration? The US has that choice.
On the other hand I don't think the idea that it's not okay to be white is in any way common or visible in popular culture etc.
You're a liar. There would never be an "investigation" if somebody posted, "It's okay to be Black|Hispanic|Jewish" signs.
Colleges don't have conferences about "Jewish privilege", but they have them about "White privilege". It's completely acceptable and routine to complain about an organization being "too White", but never "too Jewish" or "too Black". It's only in majority white countries where it's celebrated that the majority will become a minority. Nobody complains that Africa, China, or India is not "multicultural" and "diverse" enough.
Then we get to the 1960s and civil rights legislation, and Southerners decided they hated black people more than they hated voting for "the party of Lincoln", so the Southern Democrats gradually converted to formally being members of the Republican party.
Is that so? Democrats only like black people when they vote for them. If they leave the Democratic welfare plantation, they get vilified.
In that case, this sounds totally worth it. That's 3,551 bugs that QA or the client don't have to run into.
No, those were failures via automated tests. Meaning they were already known about. All this program did was provide a handful of fixes after trawling through thousands of known failures. Big whoop.
The fact that you are so profoundly ignorant of these issues demonstrates the need for people with an understanding of them.
Wow, Slashdot's #1 resident social "justice" idiot thinks we need more social "justice" indoctrination in tech. I'm shocked!
But we do need more education on the issues. Everybody should know about the Lord of the Flies lunacy at Evergreen State, the Halloween costume mob at Yale, and the red-headed debacle at Mizzou, just to name a few.
Of course it could have nothing to do with the fact that statistically, white people loot just as often as black people. Math and numbers are just liberal propaganda!
So you say without any references. I guess those are part of the white patriarchy. Also, there no corresponding suggestion for "black people looting" or "blacks looting".
But here's a statistical reference for you: In the United States, blacks commit murder at a rate eight times greater than whites ("Homocide Trends in the United States, 1980-2008", page 3).
It's safe to say that if I go to bing and search for "Jewish" that I probably don't want pro-Nazi propaganda.
You changed "Jews" to "Jewish". Are you going to pretend "Jews" aren't widely talked about, often in a negative fashion? Also note that the author clicked on an "evil jew" suggestion... and was surprised to find Nazi propagana?
Let's try another one: white people. One of the Bing's image suggestions is "white people looting". Probably because people search for that as a counter to blacks looting.
You mean thanks to the Americans who don't even realize they are the biggest problem and all the American trolls trying to pass the blame off to China.
China produces more CO2 than America, by a large margin, and it's only going to increase.
Keith Ellison's being pushed out of the DNC already.
Is that why the Dems defended him with their "independent" investigation? What Democrat has publicly disavowed Ellison and called for him to step down and withdraw from his current election contest?
And how do the Republicans respond to the triple allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh?
The evidence was examined and given a public hearing. How do Dems respond to the inconsistencies, refutations by supposed witnesses (including a lifelong friend), and proven lies? How do they respond to withheld evidence, such at the therapists notes? They scream and stamp their feet, and double down on their lunacy.
Do you seriously believe there were "gang rape parties" that the 3rd accuser attended, that there were over ten such events, and that she kept attending them before she became one of the victims? Even on the surface it's absurd, let alone the complete lack of any substantiation.
Even people on the left are turning their backs on the rat-faced, publicity-seeking lawyer Avenatti.
sexually assaulting 3 different women and then both lying about it under oath and revealing extreme partisan bias in the process
This is where Dems accuse Republicans of what they have done. They defend domestic abuser Keith Ellison while propping up lies in highly partisan fashion.
Thankfully, the most liberal Republican, Susan Collins, was not bullied and saw through this smear campaign, and is casting a principled vote.
Maybe the Dems can run on something other than their Maoist struggle session tactics.
The fact that you can believe this sentence is... sad.
The fact that you're ignoring the evidence, including her own testimony, and the conclusions of an accomplished prosecutor with an expertise in sex crimes is pathetic:
Inconsistent:
"Dr. Ford has not offered a consistent account of when the alleged assault happened.
In a July 6 text to the Washington Post, she said it happened in the "mid 1980s."
In her July 30 letter to Senator Feinstein, she said it happened in the "early 80s."
Her August 7 statement to the polygrapher said that it happened one "high school summer in early 80's," but she crossed out the word "early" for reasons she did not explain.
A September 16 Washington Post article reported that Dr. Ford said it happened in the "summer of 1982."
Similarly, the September 16 article reported that notes from an individual therapy session in 2013 show her describing the assault as occurring in her "late teens." But she told the Post and the Committee that she was 15 when the assault allegedly occurred. She has not turned over her therapy records for the Committee to review."
Unsubstantiated:
"Dr. Ford has named three people other than Judge Kavanaugh who attended the party-- Mark Judge, Patrick "PJ" Smyth, and her lifelong friend Leland Keyser (nee Ingham). Dr. Ford testified to the Committee that another boy attended the party, but that she could not remember his name. No others have come forward.
All three named eyewitnesses have submitted statements to the Committee denying any memory of the party whatsoever. Most relevantly, in her first statement to the Committee, Ms. Keyser stated through counsel that, "[s]imply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford." In a subsequent statement to the Committee through counsel, Ms. Keyser said that "the simple and unchangeable truth is that she is unable to corroborate [Dr. Ford's allegations] because she has no recollection of the incident in question." "
Lying about Flying:
"She maintains that she suffers from anxiety, claustrophobia, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The date of the hearing was delayed because the Committee was informed that her symptoms prevent her from flying. But she agreed during her testimony that she flies "fairly frequently for [her] hobbies and... work." She flies to the mid-Atlantic at least once a year to visit her family. She has flown to Hawaii, French Polynesia, and Costa Rica. She also flew to Washington, D.C. for the hearing."
Second, he was called out about his hypocrisy on his comments of sacrifice and the proposed Muslim ban.
So that's what his "attack" amounted to.
Feel free to disagree with their opinion, but their son served, and they have every right to talk about sacrifice and equal protection under the law.
Nobody denied them that right. And there is no "equal protection" or "right" for foreigners to be allowed entry into the United States.
No, first he lied about not knowing who he is. Then he attempted cover with a lie about a faulty earpiece.
Whatever. The "outrage" is that Trump's expected to loudly and immediately disavow Duke if asked about him. Any other answer results in a national media storm. Yet the same media will remain quiet when Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus, and DNC big wig Keith Ellison all seek the support of racist hate preacher Farrakhan, including when they take smiling photos with him.
Oh, am I defending Obama? After all, he's the one who took a smiling photo with the notorious racist hate preacher Farrakhan, and also worked with his Nation of Islam organization in the past. As have the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including top-level Democrat Keith Ellison. Odd how the national media is silent on that.
You even bring out Obama as a strawman
Obama wasn't the strawman. He was the subject. It was Obama's defenders that tried to bring in a strawman version of Duke to say that Farrakhan wasn't all that bad. All I did was show the true record.
And you wonder why we call people like you racist, because your are actively saying that an x KKK member, is a good person, because he didn't commit violence that you know of?
Aaaand here's the strawman. I never said Duke was a "good person". You conveniently forget that I equated him with Farrakhan, and I hold both in equal contempt. You also pass over the fact that Byrd was a lifelong Democrat who also had a past history of the Klan, but was allowed to escape his past and was lauded.
