:rofl:

That's a hell of a way to describe slavery, Jim Crow, red lining, voter suppression, and so many other things. In case you missed it, John is the actively racist individuals putting these laws in place and John's team is the rest of the people benefiting from it.

In your analogy somehow the current treatment of whites is worse than all those things.


John was alive for neither Slavery nor Jim Crow. You are assigning blame based on race, which makes you a racist. We are going to eliminate racism, and we're going to look back on this as a sad, pathetic turn in the history of this country.

To some extent, though, this has never been about collective guilt. Asians were clearly persecuted. Laws were passed, informal and formal barriers set-up. And yet now they too find themselves under the cross-hairs as anti-racists target them for their success. Not because of some imagined racial crime, but because they are the temporary winners of a meritocratic system, and meritocracy itself is under attack.

This is a socio-economic question, not a racial one. Educated parents lead to educated offspring. Stable families beget stable families. There is nothing more valuable than having educated, involved people in your life. They are the building blocks of your success. What we must do is try to remove the impediments, social, economic, or otherwise, that prevent the poor from realizing that success. Unfortunately, a few misguided souls have identified those building blocks as the problem. They're luddites, plain and simple, and we need only ignore them.

Instead of arguing with a bunch of fucking idiots over such a stupid topic just tell them you don’t identify as white. Problem solved, let them be mad lol

it is of little surprise someone like thor is anti-meritocracy. despite all the pale pasty lefty privilege he cannot backup the unwarranted self-importance with legitimate achievements. par for the course for those who are against meritocracy

A 9, my ancestors owned people.


Blacks chucking spears at the guys from the next village and taking all their women if they won apparently isn't a concern in your book. Nor the slave trading still happening in Africa as we speak, blacks selling black is ok for you hmm? https://time.com/longform/african-slave-trade/

Seems like you're only interested in white guilt like some sort of self punishment for whatever reason. Get your act together man, there's something not working properly in that brain of you.

White abolitionism sounds like a good title for a Christopher Nolan movie on a tundra-covered planet in deep space, occupied by the remnants of earth’s displaced population following their depature from a polluted landscape to find a new home in the void. Ruled by a caste-system of elites who live on the slim green patch along the equator, the snowy tunnels throughout the rest of the planet are operated by slave miners, feeding the unending elitist materialism with raw resources. The miners eventually rise up and force their elitist captors to march headlong into snowy oblivion, freeing themselves from bondage.

He's shitposting. He's spent hours talking to completely confused and ignorant people about how terrible "aboriginals" are, and when he realizes he's not getting through, he flips to talking shit on "Pakis".

Just tell him he's a racist and move on. It'll work out fine.

Edit: Just to note, the people who he was talking to (myself included) were confused and ignorant because nobody knows or cares about Australian racial issues, including most Australians. He's a tad eccentric. One of the few limp wristed Aussies I've met.
