    Where, exactly, did I say that?

    You had been using Ms. Wolcoff's book as a basis previously. I asked if that was still the source of the additional verbiage you posted.

    But...however you twist it...spin it...you're still part of the problem.
    Until you can see that, you're just as blind as the rest of us.

    Nah, I prefer freedom. You seem to want to live where the government gives you everything. North Korea is a perfect fit.

    LOL.. That you could come up with that many contradictions in that few number of words is astounding. Why am I still part of the problem? Because if I can't see it, I'm just as blind as the rest of you all are? Really? What does that even mean?

    Grievance culture is something we all see. And frankly, LOTS of folks, like me, have overcome it. We haven't relied on the excuses so many use to justify their lack of success. Many, like myself, overcame our obstacles. And while I didn't talk about mine as directly as some others have, I still had many to overcome. The point is that folks need to choose to succeed. To work at it. And that's hard. I get it. It was hard for me. But we learned, early on that success was out there, no matter who you are. and it really is as simple as that. If you have the ethic. Why do so many folks works so actively against that though? You seem to want to try? Why make it an absolute that for some folks, there is no hope? Why do folks, like you, require that?

    You got those ideas from this thread about racial injustice????
    You're definitely displaying symptoms of tRUMPS brainwashing. Next you'll be saying COVID is a hoax like climate change,
    quid pro quo and Russian election interference.

    "Of course, there’s something wrong with you, and you are not being judged. Don’t you belong to the human race who killed over 100 million members of its own species in the 21st century alone?"

    Gosh... well that was specific. And you bolded it, even more impressive. So what was specific about that? Unless you're alike an alien and think all of humanity is evil. Or is that just the part you plan on TV?

    ....are you saying you are NOT part of the human race? Or that you are just SPECIAL some how?
    Who said anything about EVIL or aliens???...I mean besides yourself.
    And what has TV got to do with it????
    Talking to you is like an interview with tRUMP.

    I don't donate or protest with them. But I would let them have their right to protest.
    Why would any white person give up their privilege? I won't give up mine. But I would like all people to get the same privilege I get.

    Where is he saying he is or should give up his white privilege.

    I assume by your lack of answers, you do sit in a corner?
    You do disagree with his views on racism.

    No I don't and I don't politically align myself with people who say that should happen. He says white people need to be coached up on what's going on, I don't think he knows what's going on. He only wants to dwell on the past. What is happening today is what many people would refer to as black privilege. He is allowed to publicly show his support for them, but what if he wanted to point out their flaws? What if he wanted to say they are responsible for many bad things that are happening to themselves? You think he would still garner support from the same people? You can stand up in front of national television and call all white people inherently racist, but if you also say that black people are disproportionately prone to commit violence, you will be shut down and likely fired. Black people not only enjoy immunity from criticism, they enjoy reverse racism that goes in their favor. Corporate diversity hiring practices, educational assistance via bell curves and affirmative action admission practices, organizations dedicated to the advancement of only black people, special crime laws(hate crimes), generous welfare programs providing food stamps, housing, busing, and many other handouts they receive at a disproportionate rate. Since I have been alive(1987) I have only ever seen black people and women receive special treatment, all while having access to the same opportunities as me. It is flat out racist for him to say white people, and only white people, need to be "coached up" on whats happening today. If he supports BLM as he, all democrat politicians, the NBA and so on claim they do, they need to meet the demands of that group. They are as follows:
    1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

    2. White people, if you’re inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family. You’re bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.

    3. If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.

    4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

    5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists *******s, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

    6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.

    7. White people, especially white women (because this is yaw specialty — Nosey Jenny and Meddling Kathy), get a racist fired. Yaw know what the **** they be saying. You are complicit when you ignore them. Get your boss fired cause they racist too.

    8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ dick-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

    9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

    10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.
    https://www.leoweekly.com/2017/08/white-people/

    This one is from the sect of the town of the team he coaches:
    https://nypost.com/2020/08/14/seattle-blm-protesters-demand-white-people-give-up-their-homes/

    So when will he downsize his home and give his salary and offspring's inheritance to black funds? If he believes systemic racism exists today then what is he doing to make it right besides berate other white people that he has never met? If he is going to listen to the black community they have made their demands. Maybe he should respond to that.

    He's been working and coaching black men most of his entire adult life. And you think he doesn't know what's going on?

    I assume you support tRUMP?
    And that automatically means you are in tune and support 100% of everything he says and does. I doubt it.

    How 'bout there was a system of slavery in the world long before anyone came here and the founders had to do and did 2 things. #1 form a union, meaning ensure Democrat Plantation owners bought into the union, and #2 make sure the founding documents guaranteed slavery had to go. Consent of the governed and created equal conflicted to a point that a civil war was virtually guaranteed. Republicans died to make good on the created equal clause.

    Have you seen any humans destroying this territory? All I've seen are animals. Children who've never worked a day in their lives, living on their parents' sweat, intolerant of thoughts they don't share and violent to an extreme.

    Trump has respected our federalist roots, but if the radical governors and mayors don't take care of their own problems and do allow the lawlessness to grow out of the hell holes they promoted, eventually the sedition act will be invoked.

    Black people were enslaved by Southern Democrats. Northern Democrats led by Martin van Buren and Stephen Douglas were not very empathetic to Blacks but didn't own slaves only because they didn't own Plantations. They were more into machine politics. After Republicans took away Democrats' slaves the Democrat KKK attacked freed men and Republicans who tried to educate them. Along came Woodrow Wilson, the most racist President in history and a rabid fascist, the patron saint of progressivism. He despised blacks to a point that he segregated the Civil Service, installed a regime of sterilization. Here is the Democrat Margaret Sanger, simpatico with Woody:

    delivering a speech to the KKK that the Patron Saint of Progressivism, Woodrow Wilson revived. Democrat Robert Byrd was likely a toddler when this picture was taken.
