Why are poor whites “trash” but poor blacks needing to be “uplifted”?



The soft bigotry of lower expectations….

Where do all the alpha males go? What happens to all the control freaks, narcissists and sociopaths? Anarchy looks like ‘Road Warrior’ to me. As a female, the idea of anarchy scares me to the bone.

Chaz was a ‘lord of the flies’ example. My dau lives in Cap Hill. She said she could hear people screaming at night. I was terrified for her. She stayed in her appt as much as possible and never went out at night.

That wasn't anarchy.

That was fascism. Authoritarianism and racism is fascism.

That's why the authoritarian party -- aka, the Democrats -- love BLM so much. They can push socialism under the guise of social justice to take as much power and control as they can.

Contrary to what they would have you believe, socialism ALWAYS leads to fascism. It can never lead to communism, because people will always want power, and they will commit genocide against any group they seem a theeat to keep it.

If you were a German in the 30s and 40s, chances are, you were a Nazi.

If fascism were to rise again, could you identify it? And if you could, would you oppose it?

When people don't know where their next meal is coming from, they'll latch onto anything they think will feed their kids.

Almost all the race riots in the US have stemmed from economic depression.

You missed my point to argue a different one.

Again, what happens to the alpha males, the sociopaths and the control freaks? What makes the authoritarians stop being authoritarian? What happens to the law of the jungle? Do they just go away and cease to exist?

Anarchists never explain this.

I didn't miss your point.

Anarchism allows for communities to spring up to help each other.

A farmer might have a field of corn, but that doesn't provide all he needs to survive. It only makes sense he would trade some of his crop for meat, or labor, or anything else he might need.

This includes protection. It only makes sense the people trading with each other would benefit from protecting their means of survival...

The point of anarchism is that each individual has the choice to live his or her life as they see fit without a government to dictate how that happens.

How does a government stop authoritarian "alpha males" (Nancy Pelosi?), as you call them, stop that? They get funneled into the military, law enforcement, and government. Then they take away your right to defend yourself or speak out against them, enforcing their ridiculous policies at gunpoint.

If there is no government, who / what keeps people from organizing into communities who like to kill other communities and taking their stuff? Spoils go to the victor?

So Road Warrior scenarious, paid protection from roving gangs of baddies. Endless tribal conflict. Wait, dont tribes have some kind of governing structure?

That you give little information and just toss out simplistic repeats without answering any direct questions tells me you havent really thought this thru, but anarchy is hip and punk and all….

Yep, that's it, hip and punk. I just like the stylized "A"

That you equate people working together, by choice, to protect their means survival, as "paid protection" and "endless tribal conflict" just shows how afraid you are of taking care of yourself.

Don't worry, the government has your best interests in mind. Always. They'll never let anything happen to you.

And to top it off, how is your "endless tribal wars" any different than how we live today under a government? The tribes are bigger, they have more weapons, and more people die.

And guess what? You'd have the choice to join one of those authoritarian gangs if you needed someone to govern you so badly.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky thanks Black Americans for their SUFFERING and SACRIFICE due to the race being used as Guinea Pigs for CDC/U.S. Government experiments...known as the TUSKEGEE "study", 50 years ago.

Start with Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Then see where that leads you. Then ask the question again.


Tuskegee, Jim Crow, segregation in the military, discrimination by HUD, War on Drugs, the list goes on and on.

White Americans have never been targeted as a group by the U.S. government in the way that black Americans as a group have.

And, to the point of the OP...

Do you trust a government which would subject its own citizens (regardless of the reason) to such mistreatment/terror?

I don't.

Who says anything about trusting the government.

I simply pointed out black people have far more reason to distrust the government. A government that did things to them with, if not the approval, then at least with the consent of the white voters. White voters who didn't give a rats ass about what the government did to others, so long as it wasn't done to them. Now, many of those same white voters are objecting to the same policies they were cool with when it was happening to brown people.

Hence, why I find many of such protests laughable at best, hypocritical at worst. If the government was only doing this # to black people, you wouldn't hear a peep from them.

Yes, it is, and I answered it.

Why should white people trust the government that hurt black people? Because they themselves created the government and attitudes that felt black American lives were worth less than white ones. And white people had (and still have) no problem trusting the government when that government was doing really crappy things to minorities. So now why do those same whites now not trust the government? The same government they supported when they were persecuting black Americans?

Well I'm not sure to whom you're referring but I've not trusted the government since I was about 20 (23 years ago).

It's obvious when a government can do what we've both referred to, they are capable of great harm and indifference. This is bad.

So you might just have some fictional people in your mind.

Wouldn’t that be because Whites don’t trust the government anymore, when Blacks never trusted the government in the first place? While trying to get the trust of blacks by placing mistrust on whites, while in bringing olive, brown an yellow, that lost trust with there governments, while trusting the government that is mistrusting white an blacks. All the while still trying steal land… again from the Reds by the whites entrusted government?
