    You’re so stupid. Arguing with a racist is tough.

    I am calling you out. You are nothing more than a bitter racist.

    I can't hand hold you to the past half year of him doing this shtick. Look at his post history in the D&D and figure it out for yourself if he's sincere or playing a bit.

    why do you hate people just because they are white? Actually, nevermind. A truly evolved person would never hate someone because of their skin color. Your answer will just be underwhelming.

    I guess you didn't take my advice of trying to be more subtle with your bit.

    I don't remember writing that, but was patting myself on the back when reading it, lol. Status quo for a half-century means longer than I've been alive, and I'm older than average in this country (the average is 38). Harkening back to the days before the perceived abuse of the penumbra of rights means harkening back to a day most Americans never experienced. It means throwing out a half-century of law-making (and law-interpreting), of regulatory work, of industry-building, of family formation, of culture building, of the establishment of social mores. Call it good or bad, but that's ****ing radical. There's nothing conservative about a party that wants to form America into something it isn't.

    Outside of partisan labels, conservativism is about slow and predictable change, caution, and consensus. Republicans are routinely trying to force us to make rapid changes (like all abortions will now be illegal in 30 days) that will have unknown results (which laws even apply now? how do I get healthcare for a failed pregnancy? if I do have to have this baby, how will I afford to feed and clothe it?), despite a consensus against change (using the idiosyncrasies of the separation of powers to hold political power greater than what is justified by their number of voters, and then using that power to outlaw abortion despite surveys of the people that find most want to keep the option). Again, maybe it's right, maybe they will be vindicated by history, but it is not conservative.

    I don't think anyone here is saying he's personally privileged as I clearly pointed out. It's a debate tactic on reverse racism the right tries that I know you are familiar with, and have witnessed. It's a play on the whole "well why can they say the N word but I can't" but only "why can they say I'm racist for talking about black people while they can talk about white people, and that's okay". They try to create a perceived flaw in the argument that there are two sets of rules for discussion of race... which sometimes there can be... hence the use of the N word.

    Its a Shtick man. I don't think it's worth engaging him further though so I'd encourage everyone to leave the guy alone moving forward. His schtick will work as intended if anyone bows out of having a real discussion on something like white privilege out of fear that they'll be looked at as racist towards white people. THAT is the goal here.

    is that all you got? Again? Really? You prove my point in each of your posts. Actually 2 points. You’re a racist and you’re not intelligent. As I said before though, they walk hand in hand.

    White privilege is a thing, white people have been running this country and keeping brown people and women down, that is just a fact.

    It is not racist to say that, it is just factual - it is also not racist to try to equalize it, like the Constitution calls for, all men are created equal - but our laws have not been.

    I know it is popular for the Proud Boys/siren call to say....White's are discriminated against - when the truth is that they are not - the laws are meant to equalize things for people that have really been discriminated against.

    Racism is real - it is sad - and it is political.

    We need to do better.

    Ignorance is the real issue........we should all be against that.

    again. Any stereotyping of a race of people is racist. Doesn’t matter which race you choose to do this to. Thats all I’m saying. Trying to make it out like I said there were never injustices is just a strawman argument. I even stated in one of my posts that white privilege does exist, for some. Again, stereotyping an entire race of people is racist. Thats all I am fighting here, blatant racism.

    If someone said all black people are good at basketball or all asian people can’t drive or all hispanics eat menudo- I would be there to call that **** out. Makes no difference to me. Its not “reverse” racism btw, it’s just racism.

    But what you are saying is obvious, clearly some poor white people are going to be like.....WTF????

    But the truth is that even they have it better than poor black folks.

    Trying to equalize based upon race is a first step towards equalizing everyone based upon economics....which is where the line should be drawn.

    this is racist. Why would only “poor” white people say that? So any white person that isn’t your definition of “poor” fall under the same umbrella and then the actual “poor” ones all go under another? Ridiculous.

    If someone calls every conversation about race that doesn't equate the African American experience with Anglo Saxon as racist towards White People then yeah... it's a schtick. You are not discriminated against in this country solely based on the fact that you are white. That's just a fact, and you've garnished enough attention this morning with your trolling so we are done here. You are no victim when it comes to race. You are a small fragile and insecure man. I recommend you pull up your bootstraps and be a man for once in yourself instead of a whining baby.
