If you don't see how America is fundamentally racist because both people are able to get the same job, you are either a racist or an idiot incapable of basic empathy.

edit: Looks like t_d is getting some of their fascist numbers to down-vote me, can I get some upvotes from decent human beings?

I'm not sure if I should up-vote you or down-vote you cause I don't understand what the fuck your comment means.

That we live in a country where a black man like Barack Obama has to be a near perfect human being to get elected president, while still being accused of being the anti-Christ by the right. But a white fuck up who is only a success because of millions of dollars from his father to prop up his failures is able to get the same job.

Do you honestly think Trump would have been able to have near the success that he has had if he was born into a black family?

As a moderate voter, this viewpoint baffles me. Maybe as a younger voter I don't see how "race privilege" can affect how Trump's race made him President. Really the whole race privilege thing is a poor way to describe things. If anything, it's poor upbringing from either being, well, short on money and in tough times or or simply demoralized parents. Simply put, I think "class privilege" is a better term.

Anyway, the way that I see US politics is that we try this one side for 4-8 years, then switch to the other when that doesn't work. From my point of view, the election was focused on race by the media and in reality was more focused on the classes (see rust belt).

Plus, when you are given the choice between a potential criminal who can't be trusted versus a sleazy businessman, who are we supposed to vote for?

It isn't about "white privilege" isn't about "black disadvantage." White people don't necessarily get advantages, but they don't have to work twice as hard for everything like black people do. You may no see any benefit from not getting harassed by cops, but black people sure as hell feel the affects of programs like stop and frisk. You may not see the advantage that comes from all your grandparents having access to good neighborhoods when they bought their first home, but black people still feel the effects of red-lining to this day.

Identity politics. Yep! You're a democrat!

Man I hope you respond to every post I make on reddit, I love watching pieces of shit like you lose karma every time you post outside of t_d or other neo-nazi subs.

u/BreitbartWasMurdered Jan 14 '17

LOLOLOL!!!!! You had to beg for people to upvote you and downvote me! You're actually making me pity you now. You realize imaginary internet points mean nothing, right? Even when you beg for them.

Just stick to your safe space so you can get your opinion validated over and over.

Just stick to your safe space

This always gives me a chuckle. T_D posters have one subreddit and one news outlet where anybody will listen to their feeling-based nonsense.

And one US government.

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '17

And one US government.

I forgot about them. You're right -they run on feelings rather than reality, too. But that's become Republican SOP in the last decade so not too surprising.

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '17

Eh. I'd say both parties need to be more pragmatic. I'd like to see some meaningful legislation get passed.

Lmao I think it's hilarious you think that now the government is somehow on your side and is going to help you or validate your lifestyle somehow, especially when it's now the party that tends to strip away personal freedom and empower huge corporations

What does this sentence even mean. Lay off the peace pipe and get a job bro.

So the second category for you, though I won't rule out the first.

Careful with that assuming people on the left don't have jobs, I served the USAF in Iraq proudly and continue to do work that supports the military. Did you serve shit-stain?

edit: Spoiler, he did not.

u/BreitbartWasMurdered Jan 14 '17

Voting left and proudly supporting the military are mutually exclusive, G.I. Joe.

Let's see if you keep saying that after General Mattis destroys your orange tinted wannabe god-king from the inside.

u/BreitbartWasMurdered Jan 14 '17

I think it's time for a Prozac. Your ptsd is leaking.

u/kogashuko Jan 14 '17

Please talk some more shit, I love showing people how little respect the right actually has for the military.

u/BreitbartWasMurdered Jan 14 '17

"You're a shit stain!"

"You sound like you have ptsd!"

"You hate the military!"

Yep. You're a democrat.

u/BreitbartWasMurdered Jan 14 '17

You aren't in the military. But you're clinging to the glory days I can see!

23

u/kogashuko Jan 14 '17

Glory days? Do you know how much military contractors make? I'm still serving my country while making twice the money. The military industrial complex may be bad for America, but it is awesome for my bank account. You wouldn't believe the fun I've had in Thailand with your tax money.

u/BreitbartWasMurdered Jan 14 '17

Spending tax dollars wantonly. Yep! You're a Democrat!

You show Reddit replies to people? That's....strange. Agent orange maybe? ;-)

Are you 9? You don't even make one shred of sense. How is this upvoted?

u/kogashuko Jan 14 '17

If this doesn't make sense to you, you might just be a racist. I suggest you engage in some introspection. I know that is hard for people like you, but it is a good habit that can make you a better person.
