In case you can't see it, the UAB put up satirical signs from the movie "dear white people" and some students not in on the joke are getting bent out of shape about it.

It's like reverse political correctness?

I don't think there's anything to be "in" on. First reports are saying the movie is so gay it'll give you super AIDS and you'll be dead in a week, like the Ring. Plus if the movie was called "Dear Black/Hispanic/Muslim People" there would be riots...literally riots, which they would call protests.

3/24/2017 8:56:50 AM

No dear Mr. Laser, due to white privilege, we should all already be "in" on the joke, whether or not we've seen the movie or trailers for the movie.

3/24/2017 9:05:33 AM

I can't see it, any pics of the signs?

white privilege is such a bullshit term

you can try to argue against that, but none of your arguments are ultimately going to make sense

(hopes f-killer will take the bait, teehee)

3/24/2017 6:58:16 PM

it just means you're admitting (whether or not you realize it) that white people have an advantage/are superior

it's really not a safe term to use at all

3/24/2017 6:58:47 PM

can someone give me the TLDR as to why this is a big deal?

3/24/2017 9:31:21 PM

I love it when people picture minorities rioting at every imagined slight.

"If someone created White Entertainment Television black people would be rioting in the streets! Believe me!"

That's just it, you think it's BS because you don't know you have it. It's like invisible, like uh God or something. You just have to believe...

Seriously though, I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone mention it that I thought they were serious. It probably started as a joke but the autistic crowd didn't get it. In any case it's an easy way to tell someone it genuinely retarded. It's a mental retardation test that is 100% accurate.

3/25/2017 5:12:53 PM

Victimhood is a religion to these people... it's essentially a cult. There are actually quite a few devout followers of the church of social justice, right here on TWW.

3/25/2017 5:29:14 PM

Are we talking about rust belt voters?

3/25/2017 11:10:39 PM

Telling people they are victims based on declining industrialization in an area

vs

Telling racial groups they are victims based on *narrative*

3/27/2017 12:10:25 PM

Declining economic prospects in the rust belt and rural areas leads to victims suffering from the breakdowns in family structure, alcohol and drug abuse, and higher mortality rates.

The inner city, which has never had great economic prospects, also suffers from these problems, except their problems are due to "culture," laziness, and dependency.

That is quite a false equivalency you have constructed there... and there is plenty of overlap between both groups.

The point I'm making is appealing to "victims" that are members of an industry makes sense, whereas appealing to "victims" that are members of a race is some backwards, collectivist, regressive left-type thinking.

3/27/2017 2:58:58 PM

It's not false equivalency, both groups are currently struggling due to their economic circumstances. One group got there because politicians sold them down the river to appease their corporate overlords, the other group suffered under a system that discriminated against them in the recent past. You recognize one but not the other?

[Edited on March 27, 2017 at 3:08 PM. Reason : Oh right, I forgot you live in a post-racism world]

I wasn’t aware that rust belt workers have a single motherhood rate of 70%+. Now that I know that is the case, I guess that is a good equivalency.

3/27/2017 3:12:47 PM

They might actually reach that if all the opioid addicts are jailed like they were for the crack epidemic.

3/27/2017 3:15:48 PM

^exactly

White working class folks aren't there yet, but they do have the largest increases in single parenthood rates over the past few years (also the only group with a life expectancy going down, largest increases in drug abuse, increases in domestic violence, etc). Basically what I'm trying to say is they are well on their way to the stats we see in communities of color, they just need to be "victims" for another 50 years or so.

3/27/2017 3:29:17 PM

^^Because nothing says "father figure" like a crack head.

If only people weren't "Oppressed" by their decision to do illegal drugs...

Addiction is a bitch I'm sure.

It's not a bad thing thing for society that it is starting to affect affluent whites now so people might actually want to try and fix it finally.

3/27/2017 3:35:57 PM

And the way to fix it is by getting the users and dealers in jail, or as the leftists call it "oppression".

3/27/2017 3:38:51 PM

A quarter of all white people would be in jail if laws were applied equally. We know they are not [applied equally]; several cops have come out over the years exposing the racist policies of police departments with regards to drug enforcement, with cops even being told to actively avoid white neighborhoods. This is no secret.

I work at a university campus, and one of the campus cops told me that the drug-detection dog they had was ringing alarm bells over the place, and there was no way they could prosecute that many students, so they got rid of it and got a bomb-detection dog, so it still scares students into thinking they will be caught, but it doesn't detect anything.

The university is 75% white, mostly rich white kids, many of them with massive/expensive cars.

3/27/2017 3:51:51 PM

Saying "Several cops said so" isn't much of an argument. Regarding your college anecdote... there is a big difference between college potheads and inner city dealers, and it isn't race (though the church of victimhood claims it is), it's violent crime.

And just like I said with UJustWait and his absurd leftism... "that explains a lot".

No one was talking about inner city dealers, though. Odd changing of goalposts.

3/27/2017 4:30:01 PM

That "goal post" was originally in TerdFerguson's straw man a few posts up. Try to keep up.

Or we can change the goal posts again to OEPII1's example. So looking at that college exclusively... 75% white, I'll assume 10% black. So you're telling me that cops are checking for drugs on 0% of white students AND 0% of black students?

How strange. It's almost as if race isn't a factor. Yet why are so many of our gullible well-intentioned leftists thinking it is? Because the church of social justice is a religious cult.

3/27/2017 4:40:55 PM

3/27/2017 4:53:52 PM

I think (though I am not sure) that even JCE2011 acknowledges disparities due to racial differences existed in the past. Assuming this to be the case...

Two questions:

1. In what year or span of years did this disparity disappear?

2. What evidence do you have to confirm it has, in fact, disappeared?

3/27/2017 5:23:36 PM

50+ years ago there were racial disparities of opportunity and racial disparities of outcome.

In 2017 there is no disparity of opportunity, and yet some of the disparities of outcome have become worse.

Your religious cult of perpetual racial victimhood simply cannot exist in this 2017 reality... hence the sensationalized anecdotes and national spotlights on false narratives.

3/27/2017 11:33:11 PM

That failed to answer either question.

When did this transition take place?

What evidence do you have to demonstrate the change?

3/27/2017 11:34:44 PM

Quote :

"When did this transition take place?"

So you agree there was a "transition" in which the racial disparities of opportunity disappeared between 1960s - Present?

If you agree on that I'll answer, but if you don't agree with that there isn't much point.

3/27/2017 11:49:12 PM

No, I do not agree; I am asking you to convince me.

And the when is secondary; I am more interested in the evidence that has led you to this conclusion.

3/28/2017 12:05:42 AM

The lack of evidence otherwise has led me to this conclusion.

In my eyes 2017 America is innocent until proven guilty. Legally the burden of proof is on you, the prosecution.

3/28/2017 12:25:37 AM

I would maintain that given the very long history of discrimination in the USA, the default position is that discrimination still exists. Please provide evidence that it does not.

I think this oped writer misses part of the point. People know the statistics and this still doesn't change minds. Plenty studies show that data doesn't affect peoples' opinions. Satire works in different ways to promote an action, where using data often fails.

Your side is making the accusation, your side is doing the bitching and moaning... the burden of proof is 100% on you. You need to provide evidence if you're making a claim.

This is what I mean when I say you guys treat victimhood like a religion. "2017 racial disparities of opportunity" is your "God". You believe your god exists, I don't.

I can't disprove to a crazy person that there isn't a spaghetti monster floating somewhere in space, I can't disprove to a brainwashed Marxist SJW that they aren't oppressed. Its a religious cult.

False equivalence. The FSM has never been witnessed, but there is demonstrable racism during at least 80% of America's history.

I would understand if you had a more agnostic position on the issue; however, you overzealously defend the position that racism is a thing of the past.

How can you justify this adamant position based simply on not seeing the evidence? What justification do you have for dismissing the possibility of evidence that you do not get to witness first hand?

And again, keep in mind that, not just in American history but in human history, period, racism has always had a significant presence in interracial societies. I maintain that the intelligent, default position is that that has not magically changed in just the past 50 years.

3/28/2017 2:26:23 PM

Are people in this thread seriously blaming a 70% single parent birthrate on incarceration? Just how many people do you think are behind bars at any given moment in this country, and why would that necessarily prevent marriage / fatherhood?
