Privilege

Recommended Posts

For some reason, there is a segment of our society that honestly believes that anyone who is not Caucasian is not responsible for any of the ills from which they "suffer" and the responsibility for each  and every one of those ills is, somehow, attributable to the white man.  The words "white privilege" and " plantation mentality" seem to be the popular buzz words these days.

It is what it is. ( unless you are Bill Clinton - and then it depends on what the meaning of "is" is.)  by the way Tobie, those who believe what I stated will never get anywhere

It's no wonder that black family units break apart at an alarming rate. The fact that their women are referred to as hoes ( love the respect huh Tobie?) and bringing an out of wedlock kid into the world is referred to as "having a baby for him" like it's a Christmas present or something, and the father is referred to as " baby daddy"....... All such loving and affectionate terms huh Tobie? One can see how an innocent child could grow up without anything.

Congratulations, and I mean that sincerely.  If all blacks, whites, and other races, would emulate your family, as San Cooke sing, What a Wonderful World This Would Be.

Dont take it personal. I just go by what I hear and see. I made none of that up and didn't say all blacks are that way, but when it is so prevalent it has to have some effect on the young people and society in general.

African americans created the genre known and rock & roll, for what that's worth. There are video clips of southern white conservative christians calling it race music and degrading to society. Same was said about R&B.  Now it is rap.  Were they right? Probably so, but secular music lovers don't care.  Besides, it is really not about race.  It is about being spiritually good and spiritually not good.  People everywhere bicker and skirmish over relative non sense as if this world will continue on in time ad nauseam.  I don't think that is the case.

    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
