I thought whites weren't a minority. So when can whites sign up for their affirmative action and free college money?

My father came here and worked his ass off without a single penny from welfare.

Yes, I know. Whites have the entitlement mentality too but I still think minorities (especially those from 3rd world cultures) have it worse. But THEY ARE NOT A MINORITY. Come on now!

And NO, this is not a troll thread. Not saying these phrases stereotype every member of the group. Just giving the most common cries of being victimized by them.

RESULTS ARE PUBLIC, FYI!!!
__________________________________________________ ____________________________________

So my options are (no particular order):


1) African Americans- "The White Man has kept us down for so long! Obama gonna pay for my gas and mortgage. I have 15 kids and SOMEONE has to pay up for me!! People owe me because my grandfathers great grandpa was a slave! Wah!!"

2) Hispanic/Latinos- "We deserve every right to be here despite the fact that we broke this nations laws and gave birth to babies that weren't even supposed to be here. We want welfare, healthcare and food stamps and more. We pray the people of the USA listen to god (pull out THAT card again, now why don't we?) and open their hearts (even though we kill our own illegals)! We DREAM (yuck)! Wah!"

3) Muslims- "Lowes pulled their ad from our show. Wah! They hate us! How dare Abercrombie and Fitch fire me for not letting me wear a Hijab in their store which is obviously not conservative? Why do Americans hate us so much......we want to build a mosque right by Ground Zero!! Wait, you named your Teddy Bear Muhammed? WE KILL YOU! You looked at me the wrong way? YOU ARE AN ISLAMOPHOBE! HOW DARE YOU! YOU ARE ALL IGNORANT. We are always the victims. 100 percent! WAH! "

4) Gays and lesbians-(NOTE I AM 100 PERCENT FOR GAY MARRIAGE AND RIGHTS) "We have the plight similar to African Americans! Everyone should be ok with seeing some boy on boy or girl on girl actions. What is wrong with that? I do not understand why anyone would be opposed! Wah!"

5) Other- Can't think of any other groups. Post them if you want!

I have to say that Chinese and Indians despite being minorities are more focused on being productive and improving themselves. If you can think of any of their entitlement mentality cries, post them. Is this why India and China are owning it...?
Oh NOOOOOO. You're not racist, spewing these vial and filthy stereotypes. Pathetic.

You know what the REAL issues is with you. You have self esteem issues. You have complex issues. You have little to no dignity. Just because you are unhappy with the skin, sex and race God gave you, don't go spewing hate on everyone else. Grow up and deal with it! Go to school. Educate yourself. Fill you brain with knowledge. Then, maybe, just maybe you will be PROUD of YOURSELF and will have no need to release all you self hate and anger on other groups of people. People like you are the human pollution of this great nation.

Why entitlement mentality? If laws say people are entitled to this and that, people would be stupid not to accept that offer. If too much is offered, lawmakers are to blame.

Thanks, I think the only black people who can make an honest assessment are those who do not have a vested interest in hearing otherwise. We are far and few inbetween.

Looks like Black people have won the entitlement title....................

So what do I get?

What's that?....You don't have two nickels to rub together, let alone have any to give away?

No sweat, you can borrow some money from me.

I have known plenty of black folks in my day. And while I've seen plenty who are content living their lives on welfare, I don't know any who *expect* it from the govt. The attitude is more "I'm going to try to get this money" instead of "The government had better give me this money. They owe me!". Do some of y'all really know black people like this? I'm guessing "no".

Have you ever taken the time to research the percentage of middle-class black people compared to pre-1960's? What about college graduation rates? The picture really isn't as dire as it seems. You just need to adjust where you're focusing your attention.

how about "Wealthy Whites" : We worked hard for our money so we deserve tax cuts! We also don't have to pay Social Security taxes if we make more than $100,000+ a year! Oh and if we invest in the stock market and make Capital Gains don't tax me at the highest personal tax bracket of 36% but only at 15%! If my business loses money I can deduct those losses over years off the gains I made in a good year!
My sentiments, exactly.
