I feel like if i were black i would be even more anti SJW than i currently am. I would be disgusted by so many people trying really hard to always paint me as a victim. Unfortunately for some reason it seems like it's rare for blacks to reject that shit.

Like this post for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/h09ck4/this_gentleman_is_standing_alone_in_a_smallish/

The "white privilege" one sticks out to me. Even if it's fact that there is white privilege, what does it say about you to whine about it even a little? That you're a pussy, whiny, self-pitying bitch. Like it really just makes you look so bad as a fucking man. Just seems like blacks being victims is a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy at this point when you compare them to asians. The victimhood mentality isn't doing them any favors.

But you gotta wonder how it might have even more to do with white liberals who seem to feel tremendously insecure on behalf of black people. Soft bigotry of low-expectations i suppose is what it is. They think so low of black people so they treat them like babies.

I was born poor white trash and my mom is a stereotypical obese welfare queen. My dream growing up was to have a home that I wouldn't be embarrassed to death to bring a friend over to visit. I would have loved to have just a small bit of that "white privilege" in my life.

Oh man, tell me about it. My mom was Queen Hoarder who Oprah couldn't even have handled. My dad pulled me aside and said, "You know you can't have friends over, right?"

I used to go to school just to find a clean bathroom. Weekends and summer were difficult for me.

Man, I thought paint peeling in the shower was bad.

May I introduce you to Mr. John McWhorter, professor at Columbia University.

How Ant-Racism Hurst Black People

[–]Trajan 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

There’s actually a lot of good research to show in academia how lower expectations hurt black students. We see a tendency for black students to receive less critical feedback than their white peers, depriving them of opportunities for improvement. These progressives are scared to appear racist because they and the institution are racist.

I think it was a Thomas Sowell who talked about how affirmative action places black students in colleges where they are destined to fail. While they’d do fine in regular colleges, just like their white peers, they struggle to keep up when put into top colleges. The same would happen dropped the average white student into a top flight college. Most students would fail, regardless of ethnicity.

Yeah, I was just watching a Sowell interview. Fascinating because not only is he black but also a reformed Marxist. Truly brilliant man. Tons of insights.

Love that, thank you! Matches up pretty nicely to my recent unpopular opinion post.
