@kewpie saidTry living here, where half the population is like this.
Something neither the left nor right in America seems to understand:
"Equality of opportunity" does NOT equal "equality of outcome".
It's like both teams insist on having it their own way and opposing views cannot possibly be considered with a view to consensus.
I grieve for Americans.
@kewpie saidThat's it, I'm moving to Australia.
If you weren't so keen to keep your former slaves down, your society would be like ours. We have just as many non-whites as you do, we just treat them better. Those who have been treated badly in the past, such as our indigenous folk, now have affirmative action programs to help them take their rightful place in our society. When you lift up the folk at the bottom, the whol ...[text shortened]... olk left at the bottom are those who choose not to participate in our society in any meaningful way.
@eladar saidFirst, the racist says it's not racism keeping black people down, and then the racist talks about how the black people are just inferior.
You assume it is racism keep black people down, but this is not the case.
If you look at test scores which are scored without knowing the person's race, you will see that the scores reflect low success.
Perhaps you should make comments based on what you have actually seen first-hand, instead of repeating something you cannot varify.
Chances are many of your poor are groom slave riots, but they are white so it is not possible to see.
Yeah, you are one disgusting white dude. Problem is, most of them are.
@kevcvs57 saidI said that to point out that if someone gives a car to someone, that would fly directly into the face of a Marxist. I am simply asking Marxists how they would deal with this 'inequity'. This is a serious question, worth debating, to point out the fallacy of Kamala's ridiculous premise. More fun to banter about than is Tump's offensive personality, which we all get.
It makes sense if you’ve e got a sense of humour and follow the thread, I stopped trying to have a grown up conversation with Joe a long time ago.
It was sinister joes idea to buy the kids mom a car 🚗

@averagejoe1 saidDuh yeah of course the winner gets the 5 cents if that’s what’s been agreed. What’s your point, maybe the kids should be made to carry a strawman on their backs during the race to test for endurance.
OK. 5 kids all live in an apartment building, each with single mom. All receive same welfare checks each month, no other source of income except entitlements.
Whew. OK, the mothers each put one-cent in a cup, and tell the boys to race, and the winner gets the 5 Cents.
Is this scenario fair, does the winner get all the money? You can do this, Kev. If this is ...[text shortened]... rain around, let us assume they all run barefoot. Whew. I cannot IMAGINE thinking like a liberal.
@averagejoe1 saidWhy would someone gifting a car to someone else be anti Marxist and who are these Marxists anyway.

Apparently the Russian Marxists were always giving cars to people so maybe not a good analogy Joe.
@eladar saidCertainly not white people, who bought them and sold them for centuries, and then decided they were not equal to a white person, and to this day continue to hold back the black people by social injustice they created for just that purpose.
Nobody is keeping black people down, except for maybe black people.
But oh, no, it's not the white people keeping black people down, it's the black people themselves.
Another Eladar opinion so far off the rails, it would be laughable, you know, if only it wasn't.

@kevcvs57 saidIf you think that the winner (the one who prevails in a certain scenario) should receive the 5cents for besting another person........................
Duh yeah of course the winner gets the 5 cents if that’s what’s been agreed. What’s your point, maybe the kids should be made to carry a strawman on their backs during the race to test for endurance.
How does that square with the liberal views (generally speaking) of equality? Like, when Obama said his famous "I'll spread the wealth around"? And how does it square with Kamala saying 'Everyone should get the same amount'. If you think that the child should get and keep the 5cents, then how can you also believe in these liberal doctrines? This is what debates in our world should be about.
Edit: Thankyou for responding, this does not seem to be a popular subject. I always post the WORST subjects, it seems.
@suzianne saidExactly which white person alive today in the US has bought a black slave?
Certainly not white people, who bought them and sold them for centuries, and then decided they were not equal to a white person, and to this day continue to hold back the black people by social injustice they created for just that purpose.
