It's really not.

There is an obvious context for this statement, which is a reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement and the sign they've used. It was not an issue or a comment before BLM. There have been, however, many "white people are superior" comments over the years. White Lives Matter is - for many - also another version of "white people are superior." Posts like this are the reason Saidit sometimes fails as a website. Though this is of course "free speech" it's obviously a message of division, hatred and bigotry, and doesn't help anyone. It also makes the "whites" who support this kind of statement look weak, racist, stupid, crazy, and infantile.

BLM supporters are racist and want instauration of racist laws such as affirmative action. They blame everyone else for their own misery and pretend my anscestors are slaves owners while I'm irish. They want privilege and are willing to steal, loot and murder to reach their goal. They are the definition of a terrorist organisation and should be put in jail.

Simply not true.

This kind of narrative can only come from a disinformation/propaganda broadcast or website. With the exception of a few criminals, BLM supporters are not like this. Get better information, look at video evidence and see for yourself that this is not true. (Also notice the whites who are creating problems at protests.)

One can also say that White Lives Matter supporters:

...are racist and want installation of racist laws such as [retiring] affirmative action. They blame everyone else for their own misery and pretend my ancestors are slave owners, while I'm irish. They want privilege and are willing to steal, loot and murder to reach their goal. They are the definition of a terrorist organisation and should be put in jail.

(BTW: My Irish/British ancestor had slaves. He said he'd not step foot on US soil if Lincoln was elected. The remaining years of his life he managed the farm while sitting at a window, directing farm hands, with a fire in the fireplace behind him year-round.)

When a few criminals highjack the BLM movement and the BLM movement don't call them out, don't critize them and don't condemne their action publicly, they are accepting to be highjacked and end up supporting these actions.

As for my ancestor, not every Irish folk owned slaves and there's still slavery today in africa, but let's not talk about history because it make the popular narative look bad. The british were the first to abolish slavery. My anscestors fled war and were low class, to have some random blowShmoe tell me I'm priviledge because of my skin is utter bullshit.

BLM movement didn't need to be highjacked. To begin with, it was an artificial Jewish-funded attack on Europeans globally. Any government worth its salt would have smashed the "movement" into the ground in its infancy.

Criminals (black and white) were called out by the BLM movement - plenty of video evidence for this

Even if you're white trash, you've had more opportunities than blacks who are at a similar economic level to you. If you're middle class, or upper middle class, you've had more potential opportunities than blacks at those levels. That's 'priviledge' for Irish descendent honkies like us.

"you've had more opportunities than blacks who are at a similar economic level to you" Base on what evidence? The problem with that rethoric is that it is baseless. Anytime you run a regression on wage base on Geolocalisation, education, gender, ethnicity, personality treats such as asertiveness, age, hours work per weeks, social circle size, whether or not the parent are still together, IQ, presence of mental illness or not, presence of physical disease and any other factors. When you correct the linear regression for auto correlation, heteroskedasticity and functional form, you end up seeing that both Gender and Ethnicity are not significative with p-value above 0.2.

You could argue success isn't just wage, but ethnicity has nothing to do with it and nor does gender.

I cannot provide you with the data I use because I'd be breaching the confidenciality agreement of my workplace so I won't try to convince you of it, but I have yet to see any evidence of systemic racism.

In fact, the only systemic racism there might be is affirmative action because it is base on skin color instead of poverty level.

It must be exhausting for socks to be fighting this war on two fronts against actual 'racialists' as well as folks who see ethnic minorities as fellow citizens rather than as favoured pets.

Yes, affirmative action is referred to "reverse racism" in the US and "positive racism" in the UK. It's being retired at universities, and perhaps elsewhere, and being replaced with 'diversity' programs, training, and hiring programs that include a broader range of underrepresented people. This is still "reverse racism", but it's supposed to offer people with less privilege an equal platform for competing with people with more privilege for jobs. The "wage base on geolocalisation, education, gender, ethnicity" should include typical wages for the majority of underrepresented people, or specifically for the lowest wage groups, such as blacks and whites who earn less than $25k/year, in contrast to their counterparts who earn more. My main point is that - though I am a victim of affirmative action, and don't like it - I also appreciate that, for the past 20 years, white people like me have been in positions of privilage and the diversification of people in jobs in our areas has improved the social presence and outlook of the places where we've worked. Metropolitan communities have thrived like this. I am concerned, however, that those who get the affirmative action jobs should still be required to meet the same goals of the others, or should be fired.
