They are the rioters, looters, criminals. Notice, I mentioned nothing about race...We are the law abiding citizens. Go to work everyday, pay our taxes, and take responsibility for families. When sota says they and we...that's what he's talking about. I do not put myself in the same group as "they" ...because Im not part of that.
"They" weren't including in your statement about doin better either. So regardless of how good "we" become it's not going to change "their" lives. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Sure to an extent I was lucky and had some great people around me to guide me when I went off track. My ego does not get hurt when I say living in America and being white game be a head start over some. It did, what’s wrong with admitting that? We’re there tough times also? Sure, am I somehow better than others because I went through some tough times, no I was just lucky to have two great grandfathers and a mother to guide me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry, but when I say we I mean all Americans, I know I am not the alone in thinking, however as witnessed by some comments in this thread not everybody thinks like that. So when WE can do better it clearly means changes within our communities as well as our institutions. As I said they are not Mutually exclusive, and neither alone will work toward solving these issues.
Blacks in this country have it easy compared to those in many other countries .. the average median income is $60,000 a year ... those that want to work and live a productive life can do so .. most do, not dealing drugs, thugging around, gang banging, hanging out sucking up Govmnt handouts ... I would consider those "we" .... 'they' are the thugs/punks/gang bangers/Domestic Terrorists(BLM) who are always looking to blame someone else but themselves for their plight, always tossing the race card around, living off the gvmnt, scamming the 'system' ... I come from a Steelworkers family, most of my relatives worked in Steelmills as I was growing up ... Ive been working since I was 15 (on a buddies farm then all thru high school, trapping for extra cash, been on my own since 18 when I went in the Marines .... Ive only been on unemployment a few times in my life, and then no more than a month or so, I was always looking for work, and went right back to working ... I am proud to be a 'we' ....
No it is very interesting in 2016 when Trump's flag was rising the barrister fondly recalled meeting a young Donald Trump in his grandfather's office and was bragadioucios about that. Then we have Germ that takes far less time to expose his hypocrite opinion on masks and pro life bull ****.
How did being white give you a head start? So basically you buy into the born white and you have privilege? Well remember Trial's comment about those living in trailer parks? Are they privileged? I live around and teach thousands of kids over the years from trailer parks. mostly hispanic now, but back when I was a kid they were ALL white. Poor kids. Rough kids. I wonder if they feel they had privilege? There are a lot of poor whites in this country. No privilege at all. I was fortunate that my single mother raised two boys, worked fulled time as a nurse, put herself through college for a bachelor's and a master's degree and became 2nd in charge of a hospital. Nobody gave her a dime to do it. She paid for it all by working weekends and holidays. She didn't get squat for being white. I reaped the benefits of her hard work..if that's privilege then I don't give a Sh&t. that privilege didn't come from me being white, it came from an extremely tough, hard working, single mother. I went to college at 24 after doing some really grit work and I didn't go to a premiere universirty.. 2 years of community college and 2 years at VSU. not exactly yale. And by the way, VSU is a black college, and yeh I saw some "privilege" black folks there... So Germ my next question is. What are you willing to give up to make things more equal? Stop sending your kids to private school? Send a kid from the hood instead? Give to the NAACP? How do you reconcile this guilt? Not being a smart ass, it's an honest question. With respect
Yes I am privileged ! I know who my dad is ! I began working at 14, quit at 64 50 years seems enough to me ! I scrimped and saved, I own a credit card for 1 purpose only, trips out of area ! I never owned $250.00 tennis shoes ! I never had steel Implanted all over my face and body, Or Tattoes also ! I purchased my first home at 19 years old. What I have I earned and used some smarts. YES I AM PRIVELEGED !
OMG that lying MF'r Portland mayor.. Will not take responsibility for the ****e show he created. I wish him nothing but pain and misery the rest of his lousy life! Yep that right there...pure anger with no apologies
Vabowman I’ll answer your questions later, but right now I am going to address sota. Yes I wanted players to wear mask at the rally, yes I chose to really not give a rip when they chose not to and hears why. Let me put on my dnoodles conspiracy hat and then folks can judge in why I let bunch beliefs I had fly right out the window. I called and talk to MSHAA about football, soccer, girls volleyball and swimming. My son does play soccer but is a freshmen and we only have a varsity team, so he’s not going to play at all. So this season really does not matter. With that said I was told my MHSAA the gov office had data about playing football and the dangers with covid but would not share the data with the MHSAA. I got this information from the chairman of the board, I called him and emailed and he was gracious enough to respond. So I called the gov office and ask about this. 1st time I called they responded with putting the blame on MHSAA and when I countered with executive order 160 and this data they have the call went silent. I have since called every day and ask, I get no response. Tomorrow I am filing A FOIA with the state for this data. last week I seen this on youtube Now my years of reading dnoodles has kicked in, last week Whitmer meets with Biden to state she does not want the vp job. I call bs, I believe Biden offered her a cabinet position to keep football closed and other parts of Michigan. Can I prove it, not yet. Michigan football is closed because of executive order 160 and our gov. There is not arguing this, the MHSAA has come out and publicly said it. Also why big ten football is closed. Look at the add, Michigan, MSU, Wisconsin all stadiums from states that went red from blue. So where does that leave me, I am about as pissed off as I have ever been. I understand politics is dirty, I get they lie, I get they are all lowestforms of life, but when you use kids as your political football to hurt these kids and their communities that’s were my line is drawn. I don’t give a flying **** what I said before, from this day forward I will work my ass off to get Donald Trump elected and win Michigan, and when I am done with that I will work even harder to get big Gretch out of office. A line has been crossed with me, now my suggestion is just to ignore me if it bothers you that much, I’ll do the same for you. Trump 2020 MAGA Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well guys there is plenty of ppl that start off with one opinion and have it get changed. Hell Reagan was a Democrat. Glad to hear that you have a hard line Germ.
And all these prosecutors and judges doing whatever the hell they want. They are next. Vote them out and throw them out..but I'm a judge and I can say and do whatever I want. Dont care. Just like everyone else, you can be held accountable as well.
I’m in the middle and don’t lean right or left. You guys can barrage me next to try and change my opinion one way or the other Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
