I have experienced massive anti-white discrimination including college teachers standing in front of the class saying the world would be a better place without white people (white teachers saying this). As well as being threatened with assault for going into the wrong neighborhood. And when I report these crimes with evidence to the DOJ civil rights and all these anti-racism groups- none of them care if the victim is white male. I guess I should put a dress on. Not only would discrimination against me become illegal they'd probably make me a captain in the Navy.

In one of Donald Trump’s many attempts to steal the 2020 election, the former president called on the Supreme Court to take up his cause and fraudulently overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Given that Trump, by appointing Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, established the high court’s 6-3 conservative majority, he presumably hoped the bench would remain loyal to him. But after the court declined to take up cases seeking to invalidate election results in multiple states, Trump channeled his rage at Kavanaugh, according to Michael Wolff’s upcoming book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency.

@@PeteH0121 Let's not overdramatize what author is saying. "Proud American" is not even on the top 10 of why some Asian americans work like they do. Just following expectations set before them at a young age, making your parents proud, being made to come home right after school, fear of not getting a high enough paying job, and the shame of it. The goal is on getting that job and proving yourself. And while it keeps you from being a burden on society, it is a shallow kind of goal.. Sometimes with the focused emphasis on academics, you do miss out on developing social skills and leadership skills and compassion for the greater community that other ethnic groups may have b/c they put more into their passions and their relationships. Generally speaking.

I remember a front page article in the San Diego union in the late eighties or nineties. The boss of the university of CA in San Diego was speaking out in regard to the high admission number of Asian students. He said " We are a University. If we don't want to loose our international credibility we have to accept the most qualified applicants. If those applicants are mostly Asian then the problem is not with the Asian students or the University. The problem is with the low standards of American applicants that can't live up to our international requirements".

A black man was teaching a class I was taking in Prescott AZ. He related a story of getting a flat tire at 5:30am when he first drove into AZ after a lifetime living in northen FL. He said it was about 18* outside and too cold for him to get out and change it. So he went to sleep. He was awakened by a highway patrolman knocking on his window. At first he was nervous but explained to the officer he had a flat tire and it was too cold to change it. The officer asked if he had a spare. He said he didn't know; that he'd only bought the truck to drive cross-country to his new job. The white officer located the spare under the truck bed, had to lay on his back to lower it, then got out his own jack and proceeded to change the tire while my instructor sat warm in his truck! Afterwards the officer smiled and said, "Kinda sweaty and dusty now. I Guess I need to go home and put on a fresh shirt! Welcome to Arizona!" The man was in shock! "I'm 55 years old. I lived my whole life in Florida and nothing like that has ever happened to me before! I located that officer's substation and sent an email to his commander explaining what happened, what this officer had done for me, and telling him it was now my intention to retire in Arizona and never leave!"

Marxism cannot deny its culture...so true. Thank you to you and all the other the people who are speaking out against the root issues of CRT. This radical approach (from the latin word Radix, to deal with the root) is so crucial. Culture comes from the root word "cult", which in latin is "cultis" and means "a form of worship". So what do the Marxist/Communist/Socialist worship? They create idols with their intellect. They exalt themselves and exalt others who agree with them. Karl Marx's best friend Bakunin had this to say about Karl Marx in his 1924 work called "Works": "One has to worship Marx in order to be loved by him. One has to fear him in order to be tolerated by him. Marx is extremely proud, up to dirt and madness." So whose the demigod now? A man who lived teaching ideas which through his disciples have oppressed nations, killed millions upon millions, destroyed economies, and whose ideology advances through manipulation and intimidation with the goal of domination. Can Mordecai Karl Marx, living amidst the evil in the world, solve the evil in the world when he is capable of penning words like his poem "Human Pride": "With disdain I will throw my gauntlet, Full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant, Whose fall will not stifle my ardour, Then will I wander godlike and victorious, Through the ruins of the world, And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator." I think people need to understand the author of Marxism/Communism/Socialism before it accepts the remade emperor's new clothes from Derrick Bell branded as "Critical Race Theory and his protoge Kimberlee Williams Crenshaw's Intersectionality. the fruit is in the seed. The intellectual Elite can wrap it up, mold it, shape it, feed it, grow it, share it, and even rebrand it but CRT is the same seed producing the same fruit as Karl Marx. An orange cannot produce an apple. A thorn cannot produce wheat. The fruit is in the seed. The moment a culture is built upon the seed of pride (I can do what I want", and mixed with the seed of arrogance (no one can tell me what to do), and then you water it with "the end justifies the means"...the only product is rebellion, revolution, and a bloody mess (Robspierre, if alive would probably agree.) So let's look at the dying words of Lenin, "I have committed a great error. My nightmare is to have the feeling that I'm lost in an ocean of blood from the innumerable victims. It is to late to return. To save our country, Russia, we would have needed men like Francis of Assisi..." Our constitution is built upon the antithesis of Marxism. the two cannot coexist. We need to stand and defend the principles which built this nation and though imperfect as it may be, is still the greatest nation on the planet and of all history.

Davi Clar Concerns with education, family, and financial stability are fairly universal in settled (i.e. non-nomadic) human societies. Besides, they have to do with natural self-interest, so there is nothing particularly noble about them. These are very ORDINARY virtues which need no special praise. Basically, the idea is to male a lot of money, in the hope that it will bring contentment. You seem convinced that, if one jumps through the right hoops, the outcome will be 'great', whatever that is supposed to mean. I would be interested to know what is the CONTENT of these people's lives, apart from material acquisition and academic success. Are they Christians, or are they not? Jesus says that 'not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.' He also said, '...what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?' So one's attitude toward Him matters far more in the long run than one's worldly accomplishments.

[@wellnessforbodymindspirit108]

I agree that victimization won't get anyone anywhere in life, but not all minorities have equal paths to success. There are several minority groups- Asians, Indians, and recently African immigrants who do very well in America. They have strong nuclear families, strong work ethics, and even when they live in poor, impoverished settings, their kids seem to keep out of trouble. This difference is largely due to a cultural component. However, I want to point out that for Black Americans, 400 years of slavery and 100 years of segregation and Jim Crow have destroyed many Black communities in urban settings. Historical redlining created every major ghetto in metropolitan cities, then mass incarceration destroyed the nuclear family. When you couple poverty with violence and drugs, I think it's challenging to say to a teenager raised by a single mother, surrounded by crime, drugs, and violence, to just work their way to the top and be successful. Most people reach success because of a strong mentor or positive role model or community to push them forward. Therefore, I think it's unfair to compare Asian minorities, who come to this country voluntarily, many maintain their language or culture, as well as the family system, to Black Americans who didn't come to this country voluntarily, and also had much of their customs, language, and culture stripped away from them. And even after the Civil War, faced massive systemic oppression by Whites, so much so that you can analyze from history most of the major areas that were segregated during Jim Crow have not recovered economically for the most part today. So while I have strong critiques for CRT, I think you have to find that balance between holding people accountable and understanding that past historic systemic racism still negatively impacts poor Black communities today.

Unfortunately, after making a lot of friends there and talking to them, I do feel like they push a little too far in the opposite direction because sometimes students who do not do well on their exams or who are afraid they will not do well, will commit suicide to avoid the outcome of what they think will happen if they fail. Our system is way too relaxed though. I remember at one point telling some of them that I envy how much their culture values intelligence, hard work, and education. That is when they told me how rough it really is and about the suicides, how people who do not score well are shamed by their families and usually end up with jobs that are looked down upon. I think there should be a balance where we need to place a stronger emphasis on education in America, but not quite to the point that they do to children in South Korea. We are letting so many children just pass on to the next grade because people in the education system don't want to deal with the children, their parents, or society blaming them for the children not passing.

[@arminiusofgermania]

@@mr.fahrenheit310 systemic oppression doesn't exist. It's a social construct made by socialists to push a narrative they use to exploit poor communities. Here's the reality: Most people who live in poverty don't grow up in a stable environment that fosters the skill, discipline, and mental development that is conducive to upward mobility. People who live in poverty live stagnant lives that stunts their minds during their developmental years. That's why it's hard for the poor to escape poverty. Most don't have the mentality and wisdom to move up. It is possible to escape poverty, but it's harder because it requires a certain mindset, and social graces and tact to fit in that they don't usually develop. Nonetheless, it can still be done, albeit it's much harder because it requires a certain mindset developed from a young age that they did not develop. Wealth is multi-generational. You want your children to be middle class, you need to leave a middle class life for your children to inherit. If you don't leave better for your kids, your kids will have to work longer to get ahead, and will enjoy life less. If you are poor, you are just going to have to work longer, and harder. That's just the way things are.

I am a Korean American. When I was visiting a temple in Cambodia a couple of years ago, one of the guards there asked me where I was from (probably assuming I'm from somewhere in East Asia). When I told him I was American, his eyes grew large and he told me I was so lucky and that his dream was to live in America. I will never forget that. It's easy to constantly complain about the things that are not great about America. But when I think about where I started as a kid - in an immigrant family that started with nothing and then think about where I am today - successful and close to early retirement, I feel so grateful and proud of being American. None of us should take it for granted.

[@JosephLee2012]

I understand... In Cambodia, I believe spanking by the stick is legal. I am not so sure whether you can understand how many in this country need to tolerate nonsense from CPS. I don't blame many African-Americans' frustrations when Harvard is responsible for their nonsense research efforts saying that spanking is detrimental to mental health of a child. The massive increase of crime recently is proof that Harvard's research is seriously flawed. After all, many at Harvard can afford $3000 per month of childcare while the poor can't.

In one of Donald Trump’s many attempts to steal the 2020 election, the former president called on the Supreme Court to take up his cause and fraudulently overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Given that Trump, by appointing Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, established the high court’s 6-3 conservative majority, he presumably hoped the bench would remain loyal to him. But after the court declined to take up cases seeking to invalidate election results in multiple states, Trump channeled his rage at Kavanaugh, according to Michael Wolff’s upcoming book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency.
