@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 I mean in my field of work, which is software, in my entire career spanning nearly four decades, I worked with one black guy (who was mixed). While there were numerous other races. Why is that? There is no interest.

OK. Thanks for discussing instead of going immediately to personal insult. At least you've been honest that you think black Americans are lazy, not interested in working hard, are not as smart as white Americans, and that's the reason for their not being appropriately represented in business, snobby schools and the professions. I can't argue with overt racism - thanks for the exchange.

The really unforgivable thing is not the violence. Violence in war is ancient. Every civilization has it. Every people has done it and suffered it. The unforgivable thing is the innocence maintained in the face of it. The German population after World War II was forced into a reckoning. Photographs. Trials. The physical, documented, undeniable architecture of what had been done in their name. Many resisted the reckoning. Many said they didn't know. But the reckoning was imposed. It was institutionalized. Guilt became a structural feature of German civic identity. The United States has never had its reckoning. Not for Vietnam. Not for the coups. Not for the chemical weapons. Not for the prison camps. Not for the drone programs. Not for the hundred other things that are documented in their own government's declassified files. The reckoning keeps not arriving. And so the innocence stays intact. And so the next war is entered with the same clean conscience. And so the cycle never breaks from the inside. It only breaks when the outside stops accepting it. We stopped accepting it a long time ago. We're still waiting for them to notice.

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 Blacks just aren't interested in those positions, that's the reason. Diversity hires almost never work out.

@MorrisonJa79439 @nxt888 The system is not tilted toward favouring people of colour. If it were, the statistics wouldn't be so skewed to whites. There are lots of courtesy interviews.

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 Common man, cop stops, from what I have seen, go wrong because blacks act like lunatics. Other blacks that act normal you just don't see because there were no issue.

I'm white too. But I can clearly see the privilege I have daily. I never have to watch where I walk, what I say to a redneck, worry about a cop stop going wrong. I never have to worry about being excluded once they see my skin colour. And most important, I'm not angry and defensive when people point out my white privilege. I'm no holier than thou - I'm not crusading against white privilege or doing anything about it - but I do recognize my white privilege- few white Americans are willing to consider it - they immediately get lathered.

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 Actually, large companies I worked for, had an extra interview loop for "diversity" hires. That is, if they fail the first round, they are given another chance, which is never the case for regular folk. So as you can see, the system is actually tilted the other way.

@MorrisonJa79439 @nxt888 Institutional racism isn't made of legal barriers, you're right about that. But there are lots of barriers. Black people get courtesy interviews, or none at all. They are poorer, they can't afford snobby schools. Surely you can see the barriers they face?

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 I know a lot of people who built themselves from ground up (myself included), modest background, step by step. I'm convinced, doesn't matter what color you are, if you work hard enough, you'll get it. The companies I worked for, all hired based on merit, not color.

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 But honestly, how many people do become CEOs, especially of large companies? Not that many. It takes talent, skill, special character etc. Not many people would even want to become CEOs because of the amount of dedication it requires. Most people are worker bees anyway.

@MorrisonJa79439 @nxt888 AH, they're lazy... At least you came right to it...

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 Yup, you got it, and a lot of them not smart enough

@Tazerface16 It's not limited to Iran with him though

Trump has no fucking clue what to do about Iran. None.

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 But to become someone you actually need to put in an insane amount of work, and not everyone is willing to do that. It's much easier to play victim, blame the white biased system and suck juices from the system fed by taxes of those who actually work.

You need to do some reading. I recommend "Caste" by Isobel Wilkerson and "White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo. If you're not willing to learn anything, google black CEOs, black attendance at private schools, black lawyers, doctors, average salaries, average incarceration rates of blacks, deaths at the hands of police... You're a blind white American...

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 And people are sick with it and as the result you are antagonizing people and creating negative feelings that weren't there before. In other words - you are part of the problem.

White supremacy is not enslavement any more. It's white privilege, that keeps people of colour from schooling, from job interviews, from board rooms, from political leadership, and in slavery in prison at horrific levels. Suggesting that the US is in a post racist state is insulting to anyone with an ounce of sense. White fragility will not allow white people to even consider it. They get angry and huffy. Post war Germans were forced by their govt. to see the death camps, to understand the level of barbarism their forebears allowed. Americans have never been forced to look at the 246 years when they were able to beat, rape, or even kill the enslaved on a whim. The US needs to accept and reckon with the inhuman years of slavery. They need to remove all confederate "nostalgia" and consider ways of reconciliation for their country's racial sins.

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 Your rhetoric is actually damaging and first of all to the supposedly noble cause you are pushing. Same as with LGBT, BLM, etc. You push this down people's throats.

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 Whom do you expect to "accept and reckon"? Indian immigrants? Chinese? Russian? Who? My hardworking white neighbors, who are regular warm-hearted hardworking people? Are you talking about collective punishment?

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 I live and work in CA. There are all kinds of ppl here from all over the world, all kinds of colors and breeds. If you are a decent human being willing to put in the effort and respect others, that's all that matters. The doors will open and you will find it if you have the will.

@Jimnelson806 @nxt888 White supremacy and other racism BS is an artificial problem kept alive by those who profit from it. There are no slaves or slave owners or even their close relatives around anymore. Everyone have equal opportunity. There are actual real problems around us to solve. Move on.

@MorrisonJa79439 @nxt888 They likely don't... it's not a contest. But the enslavement in the US was the most detestable thing ever in American history. Too many Americans don't want to recognize it. It's why white supremacy lives in the US today.

@FrankLuntz By the latest numbers it's a million billions. Stay up to date, retard.

Russian forces captured 68 square miles of Ukraine last month — and it cost them 4,800 vehicles and more than 36,600 dead and wounded troops. At the current rates of advance, Russia would capture the rest of Ukraine in the year 2256 at the cost of 101 million casualties. forbes.com/sites/davidaxe…

@RexWoods11 @alpe1949 @TeaTramRussia Wonder what ya'll drinking there... Such delusion 🤦‍♂️ "Russians have always been fed propaganda" - how do you even picture this? Russians are free people living all around the world. Such blank statements expose you as perhaps one who does not fire on all cylinders.

@alpe1949 @TeaTramRussia Russians have always been fed propaganda, it’s an impossible mindset to break. Putin has stole the counties wealth, the west doesn’t hate Russia. Putin just wants to have influence over it etc. but the west lost its chance to build those bridges in 1991.

The EU🇪🇺 is not a democracy, it is a dictatorship. A bunch of corrupt bureaucrats in Brussels decide the fate of all of Europe and issues of war and peace. From this point of view, the EU is much worse than the USSR in terms of censorship, corruption, and suppression of dissent.

@ArmenBeeman @TeaTramRussia I'm sure the US wouldn't mind Russia coming into Canada, Mexico and Cuba, installing pro-Russia gov, creating anti-US states, building military bases and pointing missiles at Washington right? After all, they wouldn't cross the border, so no worry?

@TeaTramRussia Which date did anyone affiliated with NATO or Ukraine cross the border and do anything in Russia? If you don't have that all you have is paranoia & opinions. And a lot of dead Russians. Along with lost opportunities and opportunity costs associated with all of that.

NATO's imbeciles don't like the facts. The link : armscontrol.org/act/1997-05/fe… Who's to blame?
