Are You SORRY You're WHITE?

The Jim Crow laws have nothing to do with me or my views. If you disagree with something I said in the thread, then try to give a thoughtful counterargument. Don't come in like a hit and run coward looking to insult.

I'm not saying you are for or against the Jim Crow laws. That was not my point.
I just don't see how you can think that Jim Crow laws had no effect on the whole argument. The only thing more ridiculous would be if you said slavery has nothing to do with it.

I would have gladly engaged in a debate but not after you went on for pages on end with some inflammatory statements. It's not exactly showing openness to discussion.

I still find it open ended...

It didn't happen that way, but in your defense there were posts that were removed (not mine). I don't feel like looking through the whole thread again, but the way in which it was brought up, it was completely irrelevant. It was as if I would be in support of that way of thinking.

I don't believe I made any inflammatory statements that weren't true. I would have no issue if you could correct me on that.

White Privilege is a myth perpetuated by liberals. Take most countries from Asia and their average household income in America is higher than whites. The average Nigerian household in America makes more than the average white household, and the reason is that they go to and graduate from college at a high rate. American born blacks are behind whites, yes, but that's because of the extremely high rate of single mother families, and the very poor high school graduation rate. These two factors directly result in more crime and poverty. You can't say one group is privileged being ahead of another group when that group has massive shortcomings that need to be improved.

Indeed. The biggest "advantaged" group are the Indians by household income:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income

With median income more than twice of the whites: 126,906 dollars versus 61,349 dollars.

There is no such thing as a "white privilege" but there is prejudice against non-whites or foreigners in general. This prejudice doesn't mean that their incomes will be smaller since in the labor market companies don't care if their employees are pink as long as they are productive for the company.

I think prejudice is more cultural than economic, there is plenty of prejudice against Asians and Indians for instance (as these groups are often stereotyped), but their group on average makes more than the average.

I'd like to say that today I had to interact with a rough individual who didn't particularly like the rules I laid out for him. Without any provocation he turned it into a race issue and accused me to harboring a bias against him because of the color of his skin. I informed him that I equally apply the rules to all people and he blew me off.

Surprisingly, he later returned to introduce himself formally and say that he's sorry he overreacted, he had had a rough day and that he knows I'm just trying to do my job. I thanked him for his apology, we shook hands, and I have had only pleasant interactions with him since.

Who are the 6 clowns that voted yes or maybe? :)

[Yoda]

I assume all Yes or Maybe votes are symbolic and/or using the question as a proxy for other questions, rather than answering literally.
