Saying racism is over is the new saying you have 'a black friend'

Can you still be arrested for "thinking and driving" in Kentucky?

How would anyone know?

what? do you have a bald/puke fetish? that's new..

I missed the hurl part in the op. I guess my brain filtered that out for me. Looks like it was not able to filter puke.

####### is schooch? side steppin smoke..

schooching is what a dog does when it rubs its azz across the carpet.

Hey Smoke, you want a list, I got one for you:

Do you need more cause I can keep going.

so you got your 'i'm a victim' bs out of the way.

now do you actually have anything, anything at all that proves a poor white kid has an advantage in life over a poor black kid? HELL NO! you don't. because 'white priveldge' is a bs cop out for being a lazy pos looking for someone else to blame.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

How about, you gun hating illegal alien lover?

I don't hate guns, or even firearms. I don't trust people that feel they need to pack heat everywhere they go in their day to day life, including cops. My "lover" is a naturalized citizen and I have never met an ET, at least not one that I am aware of.

Do you think I'm lazy smoke? Because I'm not and I've personally gone through a large portion of that list.

i know you're not lazy. you're about to or resently have retired from the second branch of the military you enlisted in.

i find it astonishing a minority race man that has accomplished everything you have on your own merit, believes poor white kids have an advantage over poor black kids. your career is proof that race has nothing to do with success. drive, determination, and character got you to where you are. i absolutely believe there is a 'green priviledge'. anyone of any race has a leg up on the next guy when they have access to larger amounts of capitol to further themselves. 'white priviledge' no. i'm not a believer.

[decocker 7,198]

. 'white priviledge' no. i'm not a believer.

the how do you explain the differences in rates of incarceration? the differences in prison sentencing? "white collar crime" largely goes unpunished. poor black (and white) people are jailed in droves. you don't want to believe in white privilege, maybe because you feel that takes away from your personal achievement or character - but it doesn't. white privilege is a societal phenomenon born out of a racist and segregated past - that is only forty some years gone. it isn't as simple as white people get life handed to them and black people want life handed to them. much more complicated than that.

I commend you on you line of thinking. And I still have about 18 months left before I retire.

If you're poor, you're poor. But like I shown before, the poverty rate for white people is nothing like it is for black people. I was lucky that I was raised in a somewhat middle class home. I remember walking to school and going through the white only neighborhood, which was right across the main road leading to the highway. I had a white female friend named Janice, I used to pick her up and walk to school with her. Those families were middle class as well, but the few times I got to go in her house, it was night and day. It upset me that her dad worked a regular job and the mom stayed at home, and they could afford this huge house, my mother and dad both worked full time jobs and our house was nothing like that. My mother broke her back making sure that I went to schools that mattered. And she kept me out of certain school districts to ensure I could get a proper education. http://fox2now.com/2013/07/11/francis-howell-meeting-with-parents-to-discusss-school-transfers/

I post this because this is my neighborhood. I've from Normandy, but I never went to school there, not middle school, nor high school. My mom is a lifelong teacher, she knew the score. For grade school, I went to a mixed school, mostly white and a few black. For middle school I went to an all black gifted school that pushed us to our limits. For High school I went to a college prep school.

I have to say I made it out because I had a Mom that refused to let me go down that path. If not, I could have easily been what we talk about on here. Maybe it's priviledge because whites are more affluent, but trust me, it's there.

Can I count Marvin as my black friend? If someone asks, I want to say I have at least one.

i think you'd need to ask marvin. maybe a handwritten note with boxes, check yes or no

and that is what more kids need - involved parents. kudos to your mother.

you just moved the goal post.(we were talking white priviledge & you're changing it to racial bias in the penal system...different topics)

i put white priviledge it in a vacumn (poor) & asked for the advantages. noone can name them...maybe its not race thats an issue. maybe its below

3 cheers for mom. she did an outstanding job. she raised an self reliant man that has achieved an admireable level of success by following the principles & values she instilled in him.
