    The US as a culture has the most individualistic outlook on society out of any western nation. What the **** are you talking about?

    We are the nation of "pick yourself up from your own bootstraps".

    We live in a country where the two of the largest ethnic groups has a 1000% difference in median wealth per household(white and black). What you gonna tell me the median white family having 1000% more wealth than the median black family is all due to one group of people naturally being less mediocre?

    The reason for that is because white people made laws to keep black families poor. Wealth however, has little to do with mediocrity in my opinion. There was nothing mediocre about African American musicians in the 20th century. That was before Reagan destroyed black cultural centers all across the country with his infrastructure bill and then systematically tried to make the culture something less extraordinary over time. The point I’m trying to make is that republicans are responsible for that not that any race is inherently mediocre.

    It doesn’t give license to hate success though. Many white people hate success too. They don’t have an excuse for their mediocrity. We focus on mediocrity as a culture and it’s by design. I can give you as many names as you want of extraordinary successful black people you’ve probably never heard of and yet we are supposed to believe the culture is neck tattoos and twerking. Why is that I wonder?

    Mediocre people tend to blame other people without a clear reason. Think pieces are good for that. That way, someone isn’t funny on Twitter becomes a talking point somehow. Reveling in the failure of others is another good indicator of a mediocre person.

    Mediocre people also buy what politicians are selling them because they are too arrogant to consider the possibility of introspective thought. Those types love to spend all day either trolling or acting self righteous on internet forums. The irony is that those types of people are furthest from reality. One in which race is the immediate and only lens to see the world through.

    Replace "tweeting" with "posting" and which ClutchFans member does this describe? There's more than one right answer!

    So these are the people who thought when Jeremy Lin missed a shot they should count it as 2 points
