There was a time when Bills games would determine the outlook on an entire week. I'm so over that. Still enjoy the games, but not nearly with the devotion I used to. Have more important things to worry about.
In that they're done by individual human beings, maybe.
But make no mistake: I vehemently oppose any philosophy that says the government has any right to take what I've earned by my own labor and give it to anyone else. Taxation is theft, legalized.
I also think the government shouldn't bail out failing businesses. It was wrong in 2008/2009. It's wrong now.
That's the thing that REALLY irks me about this "movement."
They call themselves tolerant when they're anything but. They're illiberal, illogical and anti-American.
Nope, sorry. Categorically reject the principle of CRT and systemic racism. I've yet to see a convincing argument.
Edit: apologies, I misunderstood that post and reacted hastily. I agree it can be both unfair and corrupt. But I reject that it's cultural in origin.
See, now if your argument was we have an inherently unfair or corrupt economic system, you may find me in agreement. If you're trying to sell me on white privilege, white fragility, or systemic racism, good luck.
Then how do you explain the presence of more poor whites than blacks of ALL social strata COMBINED?
IF this "generational wealth" was a product of "systemic racism" then shouldn't there be no poor white people?
Lending is inherently discriminatory. It is weighted toward those with money, REGARDLESS of their skin color.
Same reasons there are poor whites (who, not coincidentally outnumber ALL blacks).
Individual irresponsibility. Fatherless homes. Addiction. Looking for someone else to lift them out of poverty. Probably in that order.
That haven't existed for nigh on 60 years now.
So, no.
And I'm sure that's the fault of white people, right?
The rural township I live in (WELL outside of Philadelphia) is like 20-30% black. So, I doubt your intellectual honesty here.
