Stumping about racism experienced by whites is a weird hill to die on. One of the worst whatabouts that exists imo 

No one said it was as bad, except when you brought it up.


They are just saying it exists and Kizer doesn’t understand that.


They then gave examples of it to prove the point.


No one said it was as bad as what blacks have been through, not once.


No one is dying on a hill.


You already admitted you were on our side of this stupid argument that blacks and other minorities can be racist towards white people.


Kizer is the lone holdout because he just doesn’t understand or refuses to admit he is wrong, idk which.

Just keep re-reading…it’ll hit you one of these times, then will all make sense.  I’m certain of it! 


Everyone else is waiting for you to read it all and realize where you went wrong. The rest of us saw it immediately, you still don’t.

It’s just weird u take every argument and make it about semantics while ignoring the big picture or the point. whether or not it’s possible for a white person to experience racism is irrelevant. Can it happen? Yes. is it common? No. is it rare? Probably

I don’t believe understanding what racism actually is and it can affect all races is “semantics”.

Yes,

Glad you agree with me and everyone else on this thread other than Kizer.

And how does that relate to white people being tired or everything being about race? Are you saying racism is a burden that white people have to bear because it “can” happen. Can happen is a long way from does happen. Scale matters. Context matters. But we can agree to disagree. Have a good week

what was his point?  i have no idea where he got that or if it was ever on a NEA website or how it got there. the twitter page that it is posted on posts nothing but conspiracies.  CRT isnt being taught in schools.  PERIOD.  If you want to believe it is ok.  Im not going to argue about it.

Care to retract this statement now that documents directly from the Virginia state school boards have been leaked and prove it has been?

Also too funny to not share. ANTIFA is counter protesting an anti government mandated vaccine protest. I don’t think they understand the word fascist.

And why do they always have to lump it together with everything being white supremacy?  Is it possible to be pro-fascism but anti-racism?  I feel like it should be possible to oppress everyone equally.

So everyone's favorite climate change scold is out of lockdown and back to cussing out world leaders for inaction.

Latest is wealthy nations should pay reparations for their colonialism....because they weren't exporting a higher standard of living, but exporting fossil fuel pollution!!!!

Lol at Obama talking about climate change as he buys his 2nd beach front house (in Hawaii). 

Anyone following the Rittenhouse trial? Basically every witness the prosecution has called has been horrible for the state. And then this dipshit today basically made the self defense case for him.

After that guy admitted KR didn’t shoot until he pulled his gun and aimed it at KR, you could actually see the prosecution facepalm.


It was rather comical that they didn’t prepare him for such questioning.


The prosecution trumped up charges anyway hut they have also totally screwed up the trial so far.

The official media narrative seems to be at odds with what is actually happening in the trial. I wonder why that is?

So NPR is not reporting facts.  Just telling bald faced lies.

Sounds like maybe that protest was a true Darwinian contest...

I'm not going to defend KR, but if you see a guy like that it's probably not a good idea to point a gun at him or attempt to forcibly disarm him yourself.

It will be ironic seeing Rittenhouse all dressed up to defend Kenosha...from the riot that started after the jury announced his acquittal.

I for one am shocked that our social media fact checkers and overlords allow such blatant misinformation. But hey, let’s go riots!

That's what is most alarming - they aren't "fact checking" at all, but simply blocking opinions they disagree with.

I assume there has to be a lawsuit(s) working their way thru the courts for an illegal campaign contribution by killing the NY Post story on Hunter's laptop.

It's all about addressing "inequities", but just reads like a "race to the bottom".

Re-taking tests, fixing incorrect answers, rewriting essays and no penalties for missed or late assignments. The world doesn't work that way. No wonder parents are so upset.

Typical backwards progressive ideology.  Keep lowering the bar and not understanding why the floor doesn't rise.
