i think that black men face the greatest discrimination, by far.

i think that black women, white men, asian people, and hispanic people face discrimination that is of roughly similar severity, but in very different ways...

and then white women enjoy the largest priviledge.

I hear an incredible amount of openly hostile statements against WHITE PEOPLE on the Internet and this would never be allowed against Blacks or Hispanics.

how about middleclassism. We are all slaves to the government. Gov and media pits us against each other for their own gain.


Obama's Net Worth $12.2 million. Salary of retired US Presidents - $180,000 FOR LIFE. Remember when Obama was saying Michele should be paid. Barack Obama Net Worth | Celebrity Net Worth

Pelosi's net worth: $100 million and she had the nerve to oppose a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of the office. Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. No wonder the witch is smiling all the time.

I think we found where the cuts should be made!

There is racism against both in different ways. Whites without generational wealth or power suffer from the impression that they have some kind of invisible "privilege" and they generally have fewer scholarships available to them and are disadvantaged by institutional racism in the form of affirmative action by both employers and educational institutions. Blacks, on the other hand, are often discriminated against because people think they will be more apt to commit a crime (which is why they can't get cabs), less likely to be good employees, and more likely to use drugs. Other races face their own forms of discrimination.

So... Kind of hard to argue that white people are being oppressed.
In which case? Please cite the opinion.

zimmerman/jordan davis/ferrell in nc/keisha davis in mich.


remember, the white who killed davis got a hung trial on the murder 1 charge. 9 of the 12 wanted it, but it was the 3 white conservative males on the jury who let the white off. even though he's gone for life on other charges, he will likely never get the murder 1 or 2 for killing davis.

i expect the white cop in nc who killed ferrell to get off too, even though the other cops said he had no reason to shoot ferrell.

And your post is dripping with stereotypes. Did you know that white people are more likely to do drugs than any other group.

When It Comes To Illegal Drug Use, White America Does The Crime, Black America Gets The Time

But guess who gets arrested and the jail time.....

Is that a joke? The JournoList mainstream media members group made calling Obama's critics racist their main strategy. That's why we've heard it so early and so often.

Don't let historical fact get in your way of being a racist.

Look up Chester Arthur.
