White people don't suffer ;as a result of, systemic racism

How about a black student getting accepted into a college over a white student, when the white student has had better grades in high school and has outscored the black student on SAT's?  Is this not racism?  I know your answer, but thought I would ask anyway.

There will be no response.

If the white student graduates from a second university they will still have a statistical advantage for starting wage, and promotion. The dominant race in any culture will have advantages others don’t. Racism knows no nationality.

Then you are saying that it exists in all countries ?  Not sure where you got your claim about starting wages and promotions, but if it is legitimate, I am going to bet that the gap is closing rapidly.  Tell me where you got your stats and lets take a look at them and see if my contention is correct.

Not all countries, but not just this one, either. I’ll get back on the stats. However, I think a look at the top brass of any Fortune 500 company will pretty well confirm my claim concerning promotion.

If you are truly concerned about who is running the Fortune 500 companies ( by the way, your are NOT completely correct on that claim) I would have the same response.    I will bet you a dollar to a donut that the percentage of Fortune 500 companies being run by non Caucasians has increased substantially in recent years and that the trend is pointing in only one direction.  Do you believe that the government can solve this better than the free market can?  If so, I want to express a grievance regarding how "under represented" Caucasians are in the NBA.  The composition of the NBA does not mirror that of the general population.

You think affirmative action had no effect on those positive changes you’re talking about?

Any time a program exists that allows someone to obtain a position in a school or a workplace, a foundation of minority-based stereotypes can be built. Even if all people are qualified, Affirmative Action comes from the perspective that women or minorities are “inferior” to white men, which promotes a superior attitude from the majority class. For such a program to succeed, it must come from a viewpoint of pure equality.

    • You have a choice between two guys in November that neither of us can change or could have changed. You can continue to whine and moan, not vote, vote for biden, I couldn't care less what you do. Those of us that choose to face reality simply deal with it. You just keep your fingers crossed hoping biden will win in November so you can get on here and be the star of the political forum (in your mind) by telling us all I told you so, even though you had as much to do with this situation as any of us. And yes, I can claim he was a good President, because he was, and I and others have made long lists of the reasons why, which you cannot refute. You have a good day wallowing in your perpetual misery.
    • There is undeniable irony and hypocrisy in the fact that Trump has the unwavering support of conservative republicans across the country who've pushed legislation that makes it much more difficult to access her on pornhub.  
    • All sports lose money... period.. Yes football brings more revenue but still loses money with all its costs...  Football does not "fund" other sports..  It is funded by budget.. which is paid by state and local taxes.  I have seen many games this year where less than 200 parents show up to the games. Do you think these schools got rid all other sports cause their football team did not gain enough revenue at football games??... come on..  I would agree football is bigger in Texas.. no doubt... All I'm saying is other sports should not suffer cause of football Offseason... I know coaches think that 10 extra practices in April/May will determine if they are successful in November.. I just don't think its worth destroying another sport to do it.. especially with all the summer to practice...
