But the larger point is that nobody "deserves" or is "entitled" to a job, or a seat on a corporate board simply because they are "x"....if there is any such thing as "unearned privilege" that would be a perfect example of enforcing it. If you have a seat only because of a factor beyond your control then you've not earned a thing.




Its a bit bizarre that he disavowed his obvious origins in Detroit. Like its a bad thing to be from Detroit. I have family from Detroit myself! I'm not ashamed to admit it. They left, but it was long before the auto industry collapsed or the blacks too over. They just went somewhere else.



Looks like he answered you...but a more expansive answer is that its a country created by White Europeans.



That's silly...there are no irrevocable changes. If it changed once it can certainly change again.



Yah, it seems pretty obvious he was born and raised there. I don't know why else anyone would refer to themselves as a Detroiter unless they were from there either.
Okay...the changes are irrevocable. There will be no going backwards no matter how upset you are.

The horse has left the barn.

indeed
Credibility with you would be a bad thing. I don’t want it.

If you have a problem with anything I post, then I know I’m saying the right things. I’ll use you as a weather vane. Lol

Show us the grand conspiracy by foreigners to wipe out WASP culture. What's their motive?

Psychological and personality characteristics are only weakly heritable at most. Everybody in the world knows of kids turning out very different from their parents, even if the kids lived in an equally good or better environment than their parents. Heritage? I take that to mean tradition. Even in the modern south, the highest level of cutting-edge (tech-wise) development takes place in the least conservative places (Austin, Raleigh-Durham, even Atlanta to a lesser degree). Seems that if anything, diversity and weak affinity to tradition and tight-knit clubby atmospheres do more to stifle than nourish creativity and independent thought necessary to bring about new ideas, products, services, and businesses.

To take the country away, power, resources from those that aren't from their group and redistribute it to their group and alter the country more to their liking, duh.

Well, blacks have remained around 13% even after the civil rights movement. So that leaves Hispanics and Asians. I don't hear anything about Asians bringing down America, even from the MAGA crowd.*


*Although in 1910 or so California tried to institute what amounted to a Jim Crow for Asians, which almost lead to war with Japan. If non-Hispanic whites could be so wrong about Asians back then, how can non-Hispanic whites be so sure their judgments about Hispanics are right? Oh, btw, the Indiana judge Trump lashed out to, he was born in East Chicago, IN in 1953 (Source).

A "white stolen and butchered country" is what you really mean, right? Those aboriginal peoples living here tried to make room for the newcomers, and were mowed down for their consideration. It was WHite Greed and Treachery that built America.

BTW - De Ayllon arrived on the mainland near present day Georgetown, South Carolina, to colonize it in 1526. He brought along black slaves to do the labor. THAT is the legacy of the United States.

I was at a Trump rally on Sat. One old white guy and old white gal in wheelchair held up a sign that said 'Down with old white guys' (meaning Trump) Crazy? Guess it is a trend.
