Nah.. actually the irony is that you can claim discrimination against whites and yet wont even consider that it still exists against non whites in this country. That you want to group most blacks into a group of undesirables, well unless they are like Ben Carson and Mia Love and know their place. Yet take offense if any one lumps all white men into the group with the David Dukes, Stephen Paddocks, or Devin Kelly's of the world. That you proclaim these guys as damaged individuals, but most blacks are a part of a flawed culture.

So the irony is in the self serving double standard.

I never said discrimination doesn’t exist against non-whites. Any discrimination against non-whites isn’t supported by the government...thus the difference.

I do not want to group most blacks into a group of undesirables. I explained why it can be done and is more logical to do so. Let me clarify, not all people in the gangster rap listening world are criminals but I do believe that culture leads to negative behaviors.

The only place Ben Carson and Mia Love have is the place they choose.

I don’t take offense to lumping white people into that group...there is just no legitimate argument to support the idea.

Those individuals make up an inconsequential statistic...black crime rate is a crazy statistic. Even if black’s had the perfect culture, whatever that may be, there would still be criminals because that is just human nature. Because black crime is statistically so much more prevalent, there has to be other factors...the greatest of which is fatherlessness.

So, are we sure that was racist? Could it be they were ashamed and put paper bags over their heads, ala Saints?


But maybe you are right...
New Yorkers are getting brutally sucker punched in the face because of a vicious game

YOU claim to want a color blind society where every one has the same opportunity, I just gave you the answer. And you brushed it off.

As long as we actively keep count (score if you will) of how many whites vs every one else live in this country, its going to be an issue.

As long as they keep score on the number of crimes committed by racial and ethnic background, there will be an issue. Because these reports are designed to do exactly what they have. Help you form an opinion about where the real problem is. And as I have attempted to point out, the way they are presented is designed to elicit a particular response from people. They scream there are over 11 MILLION illegal immigrants in this country, and forget to mention that that is only 3% of the population as a whole.

Also, just to clear this thing up as far as laws being written to discriminate. I dont see a single law on the books any where that says if you are white, you cant do something. See that would be a law designed to discriminate. Affirmative action, the EEOC, those are policies designed to try and PREVENT discrimination, sort of like the Americans with disabilities act. Or does it make you feel discriminated against because you cant snag the premo parking spot at the mall too?

Hey go easy on him hes clearly been beat down by the system. Being white in america is hard man!


/end sarcasm just in case anybody reading can't tell lol.

I honestly don't understand how people can see things like this happen so regularly and just dismiss them. It boggles my mind the mental gymnastics that must take.

Holy shit the comments on that article are something. Not that i should be surprised considering the site.

Same reason i rarely go to the political forum on here. THAT is one hell of a cesspool of racism and god awful political takes.

To admit something is wrong leaves you with four options though.

1. Try and rationalize it away
2. Try to change it
3. Try to ignore it if it doesn't affect you.
4. Actively support it even if you know its wrong.

But then all these choices require seeing something and being able to admit its wrong in the first place.

[skinsdad62]

TB didn't score a goal in almost the last 8 periods of playoffs vs Caps. Pretty impressive considering they had best regular season record in NHL & were a big favorite in this series

good for dc ... might start giving fans confidence to get off their ass and start cheering on their home team

did i ever tell you the story how i single handily cheered on the team to their greatest comeback in franchise history ?

LETS. GO. CAPS.

Can't describe how happy I am about this. Fan since year one. Congrats to the entire Capitals organization and the DC fans. Let's finish it off right.

 

[SoCalWizFan]

Highlight of the game. Just helps clarify that the Caps left it all out on the ice & would do whatever possible & have each other's back the whole time. Wilson just demolished the guy.

 

[kbso83432]

DSP taking one off the neck. T.J. taking one off the leg. Wilson sticking up for Kuzy. Backstrom out there with one working hand. They WANTED it. Happy for them, but even happier for myself.

 

[Sportster 72]

Was kind of fun watching Wilson knock Kunitz off the puck to start the play on Ovi's goal.

It was fun watching Wilson destroy that nub who thought he was tough for snatching Kuznetsov's jersey off.

The entire team has given their all. Great job by the entire team.
