But that’s how I make every decision in my life
Is there a world where I have input
Will it take a reasonable amount of time to achieve said input
2 nos and I usually don’t pursue it
1 y 1 n and I generally don’t pursue it, but if I do it is not a priority
2 yes and I usually do pursue it
Persuading anti vaxxers of their folly when there is copious amounts of evidence one google search away falls solidly in the 2 no box
Also discussions on systemic racism are generally 2 nos but my blackness often overrides the heuristic in these cases
I guess not really in this case cuz I wasn’t trying to have a discussion, just posting and going about my evening
mfuckers out here thinking monarchs control the entire government. in most cases they were spoiled but trained regular humans who had the power to cut through red tape in occasional matters, sometimes not even that as the clergy or landed nobility could embarrass them into submission and keep things at a status quo. it's really not that different from modern days but instead of bloodlines and birthrights people win their stations in government through ambition and scratching each others backs
barons, viziers, appointed governors etc are just 'small kings'
also stop killing black people pls
is ambition a good trait for politicians? probably not but who else would fill the gap
I can understand the idea that, because of past discrimination and injustices, black people were put into disadvantaged positions within society and this began a cycle of poverty, violence, and other societal issues that continues on today, what I don’t agree with is that white people continue to actively put black people down, or continue to operate in a way that excludes them from greater society, I think those issues are more related to economic inequality than racial inequality.
Your black
Lbj I don't give a God damn fuck that you're black
I did not feel particularly advantaged over my peers growing up and did not benefit from any type of racial inequality that is claimed by others is my point
I did feel disadvantaged compared to people with “rich” families (aka middle class/upper middle class) people with two parents, people without serious family issues, etc
Individual white people may not actively discriminate in ways they used to but society continues to put out laws and act in ways that discriminate against black people and white people run society so guess who we gonna blame
idk bro where the white people at because they don’t live in hood, go to the hood, or do anything in the hood
It's really funny to me when people get all upset when %population of white people is declining
Like do you think that that is bad?
What makes you think speaking about poor white people is relevant when discussing systemic racism
Guess what: who cares
When did I bring up poor white people
Me referring to way above posts, answering your current question with a question
I’ve never spoken about poor white people only about my personal experience and interactions with black people and others living in a ghetto in north Las Vegas
