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.

White Privilege at its best...

    • He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack. 
    • If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It's a poll but I could definitely see this as realistic.   From the article: Catholics in the United States have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger. Pew Research released on Apr. 30 a report exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation. The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 45% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic. In 2020, a similar poll from Pew Research found Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump with a staggering 67%-26% split.
    • You said a lot there. Truthfully, that is the root of the issue. Who cares what a kid thinks about how coaches are running a program? Kids play, coaches coach. For some reason, parents have this backward in a lot of places and its wreaking havoc. 
    • He's already stated he's a huge Clinton fan.
