This is fucking cool!

This is RE-fucking-DONK-ulous.
Do you know why history makes it look like white people built this country and made it what it is?
Because white people built this country and made it what it is.
I have really begun to hate this crappy, pseudo apologetics bullshit.

Your reaction to the paper indicates that you are unaware of white privilege. You are not conscious of it.
You aren't informed every time two bricks are placed one atop the other by black hands, so you assume it doesn't happen. Didn't happen.

I come from poor. I come from 'the hood'. I was raised by Mexicans and Black folk.
This whole paper is PURE drivel.

So, you're a Jerk? Looking for your special purpose?
And I don't care who raised you. They fed you and clothed you, but they didn't teach you how great it is to drive to work while white. The cops don't even see you.
And you mention that you come from poor. Well, I come from rich, and you would not believe the leg-up I have over you. The only reason I'm here talking to you in the middle of the day is that I've got a lot of money, and no ambition other than to argue with people about anything at all.

Yes, I am a jerk. I'm a jerk to people who are wrong. This complete bullshit about "how great it is to drive to work while white" is complete crap. Poor white people get shit on just as much as anyone else, period. You don't know shit about shit. I do. I have worked DAMN FUCKING HARD to get where I am. I'm not "rich" per se, but my children will have the same advantages you do, as will my grandchildren.
Your title is lame. You can choose not to be.

Do you know movies? Steve Martin movies?
And do you know what's better than driving to work while white?
I'll tell you. It's arguing with people who don't know better while RICH.
I have worked DAMN FUCKING HARD to get where I am.
HAHA! Sucker. You're children most certainly don't have my advantages. For one, they won't get into an Ivy League school just because their Dad went there.
And your kids won't have learned to ride horses just because the filthy beasts lived in our stables. And your kids certainly won't

No, they'll get into a much better school (in my very not humble opinion) because of my service to my country. Legacy that, bitch.

Yes, but can they just ask their cousin to write the nomination, and an uncle to fast-track the appointment?

Thanks to me, they don't have to. Thanks to them, their children will have cousins and uncles who can.

Black people are responsible for most of the economy and growth over the history of the United States. Their labor (free and forced) lifted the agricultural economy of the nation into the stratosphere during the 19th century.
When the dictates of industrialization required an economy based on factory output over agricultural export, the slaves were "emancipated" to transfer the labour to cities like St. Louis, Chicago and then Detroit. Marx, who's prescription was faulty, nevertheless had an accurate diagn
