Fanta Graham If I'm inclined to hurl insults it's because I've been too fed up for far too long with this illogical propoganda about "white privilege" and "oppression" in modern day society. I'm not denying that America has had a history of racism, but neither will I deny the great progress we've made. 100 years ago? Absolutely. 50 years ago? Sure. 2017? No. As someone who is actually a part of modern day society, I have yet to see convincing, if any, evidence to support this widespread racism and white privilege you speak of. And since you brought up to topic of defending my position, I'll point out that you have yet to present any facts in any of your posts. If you want to prove your point and look like less of an idiot, try providing some actual statistics, though I predict you'll be either unwilling or unable to do so. Sorry, but just saying "you're denying your privilege" doesn't cut it.

Fanta Graham If you're seriously claiming that America is more racist now than in the 60s, you're out of your fucking mind. It blows my mind that that you can even say that. I agree that there is inequality, but that does not mean that it was caused by injustice. Further, you can't just say "America is racist, the evidence being the racism in America." Sorry, doesn't work that way. You are the one making that claim, so the burden of proof rest on your shoulders. If I told you that I was raising a unicorn out of my shed, you would demand some form of evidence. Similarly, if you're going to claim that America is racist, you need to present evidence and examples of laws or practices that are clearly racist in intent. You can't just say "I swear it's true, just look around," or "it's your fault for not being able to see it." Honestly, your blatant disregard for facts is appalling. And by the way, it's precisely because I've looked around and studied the statistics that I think all this social justice nonsense is such bullshit.

I was married to a woman of Jamaican descent, I'm white, she wasn't our daughter is mixed race. I encountered plenty of casual racism from some members of her family and community, even more when I left the military and joined the police. On the other hand from my friends and colleagues both in green and blue my wife was welcomed with open arms except for one guy. Racists come in all colours, creeds and cultures.

I was very poor. The year was 1989. I had just gotten out of the military. I lived 4hrs North of Los Angeles. I applied for LAPD. I had an interview for 8am. So I started driving my wife’s old car at 2am. I was in the middle of nowhere at 3am. I Crossed a long bridge and I saw someone walking with boots in his hand and barefoot. I pulled over and picked him up. He didn’t speak a word of English. I drove south. An Intersection came up and he started yelling “Amigo amigo amigo.” And pointing to the right. I wasn’t going that way but I turned to the right. At the top of a very large mountain pass was a wide spot with a car. We pulled in behind it. Two heads popped up. A mom and a child. He said “no petro mi familia.” So I made a u turn and went back 15 miles and got him 2.5 gal gas. Drove him back and dropped him off. He wanted to kiss me. LoL. I did really good on my LAPD interview. They said you’re hired. I was so happy. Then about 10 minutes later they said “you’re disqualified, you’re a white male.” I drove my wife’s old beat up car 4hrs home. True story.

What I will continue to admonish is the idea that YOU are in possession of what those dead individuals overcame, or achieved, simply by the coincidence that you share the same color of skin. This statement also implies that the achievements of those dead people were a direct result of their skin color, which is not a claim with a basis in reality. And no, these people are experiencing a sort of pride that is falsely claimed, pathetic, and corrosive to progress.
