As a WHITE MALE you aren't allowed to have an opinion

[RIPWarrior]

Why do the numbers matter? Either they were here as part of the country or they weren't. You asked if it was a multicultural society. It was. That doesn't change just because it wasn't a perfect mathematical distribution.

Yes at the very beginning when the country was being formed it was extremely diverse but it became the US and those Europeans became Americans and then later everyone else. like I said, they formed the diversity of cultures and accents you see all through out the US.

But anyone should understand that the numbers are the reason why white Americans have always ran the country and had most of the wealth.

 

[SafeSpace]

Depends on your region. It's pretty rampant around the bay area in california.

Yes at the very beginning when the country was being formed it was extremely diverse but it then became the US and the majority of the people, Americans. like I said, they formed the diversity of cultures and accents you see all through out the US.

But anyone should understand that the numbers are the reason why white Americans have always ran the country and had most of the wealth.

So are you saying that all of the Native Americans, blacks, Asians, and Hispanics weren't part of the diversity of cultures in the U.S.? Because they were all here as of 7/4/1776.

White Americans may have run the country and had most of the wealth but it was still a multicultural nation from the beginning. It's entirely impossible to discuss the history of the U.S. without touching on how the various cultural influences shaped our modern nation. We can't erase people from history.

If you're simply saying the white people have dominated the economic and political structures, I think everyone has to agree with that. If you're saying that we haven't always been a multicultural nation, you're mistaken there. That argument makes far more sense if you pick a European nation and not the U.S.

They were insignificant though. There weren't enough numbers to shape the culture. Today they have the numbers to change the culture in the areas they concentrate in (if they want to) and influence the rest of the US. I would gladly change my mind if you can show me that those people played a significant role in designing America and it's culture.

I don't think they couldn't shape the culture due to lack of numbers, but due to lack of wealth and power. Slaves, Natives on reservations, and others who were little more than indentured servants had little influence on anything of note.

Insignificant and couldn't shape the culture? Yet most of our major social events involved those other cultures. The cultural issues surrounding blacks were well documented. The cultural issues involving Native Americans, equally well documented. The cultural issues involving Asians well documented. The same with hispanics.

Do you even realize how much of our common parlance and state and city names come directly from Hispanics? Almost the entire West Coast is a tribute to the extent of the Hispanic influence on the nation.

Surely, you recognize that black America's played a significant role in the dynamics that created the Civil War, probably the most significant event in American history other than the Revolutionary War?

The same with the Native Americans. Surely, you've heard of Thanksgiving? Milwaukee? Playing Cowboys and Indians?

Asian influence is obviously less prominent...so long as you forget the existence of Hawaii, the Chinese's role in railroads, they even have still valid S.Ct. laws dating back to the 1800's.

Now, whether or not those contributions are "significant' is subjective. But I think any argument that cumulatively they aren't reflects an incomplete understanding of American history.

Allowed to have an opinion.

How many people have actually encountered this argument personally? How is it not racist/sexist to tell someone theire opinion doesn't matter because of their race or gender? Secondly, doesn't this argument assume I'm unable to think rationally and have an open mind from the get go?

Thoughts?

Thoughts? It's ridiculous that you are treating that statement as if it's worthy of consideration or response. Is there some other weird purpose you have for this thread.

 

[Voodoo_Child906]

i try to pull out the Jew card but it seems the Jew card has lost its magical powers in the last 10-15 years.

i knew this shit would happen. we should have laid low.... god damn our quick wit and good looks!!!

Ya it seems like Asians can't play their minority card much anymore as well, they're actually becoming too successful in academia and are facing backlash.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Why do you right wingers whine so much?

Because we're about to end 8 years of a black dude named Hussein Obama by another 8 years of a white liberal broad as president.

Because it's not cool to call gays "s" out in the open anymore

Because the concept of privilege is discussed in mainstream channels and not just in graduate seminars, etc, etc, etc.

In other words, they correctly feel like their time is ending. These are the death pangs of a dying group.

Like Bill Maher said in this video, get ready for a "socialist topia" cause it's coming!!!

The European cultures that got transformed into the American cultures prevailed because of the people. Large groups of people form cultures. Outsiders can join in if they want to and that's what has happened until now ever since multiculturalism started being heavily pushed. We know what kind of multiculturalism we're talking about here. The fucked up kind that includes our Jihad friends from the middle east.

Slavery and Natives on reservations obviously played a role in reducing the cultural influence of those people.

The chances of Hispanics gaining positions of power increases greatly when their numbers increase.

 

[lil billy]

just sit back and keep letting them wag their finger in your face..let them plead with you to understand what they say you can't understand. It's that simple

Let these anti-whites place you on a pedestal when they lecture you about how whites are on top and that "your time is done."

You don't need to give your opinion, these people worship you without doing a thing

At the core of it all is the European/American culture. Later on black people started to influence culture through music (stuff you can enjoy listening to like the blues). Today's another story and a monster has been created.

Yeah but that's just cultural appropriation now and highly offensive to Natives apparently. It was something white Americans did for fun every now and then.

They helped build a railroad but didn't help create the culture. They stayed in their China towns. I thought the Natives in Hawaii don't even want to be a part of America.

Europeans designed America, became Americans and created the culture and accents then brought in Africans and Asians to join the fun. There's always been a relationship with Hispanics but nothing like the illegal immigration relationship you have today.

 

[DragRacer]

There's always some pussy with this same generic response whenever anti-white racism is discussed.

It's okay if you feel that way, but cmon.. Try and conjure up an original thought or two.

oooh white males are such victims. they cant get anywhere in life because they get judged by their whiteness.

 

[ShadowRun]

I am so happy this white privileged discussion has only came up in the recent years we are living large now boys. But the past was such hardship, thanks for keeping me modest SJW's

 

[ShadowRun]

According to the cultural Marxist ideologies being promoted and pushed into schools, it's not that white males can't have an opinion, it's that it is worth less than other peoples so it isn't worth listening to.

Someone posted the 'progressive stack' and this describes how it operates.

So it's like the 7 layers of the OSI model ? nice

 

[MiniCraque]

Why are you so insensitive to the plight of the male WASP? Such an unprivileged and underrepresented minority surely deserves your pity, if nothing else.

 

[DragRacer]

Yeah this really is fucked up.
The overwhelming successes in America of Asians and East Indians belies the Democrat mantra of "you're a poor oppressed minority, so here's some free shit, and btw.. white republicans are your mortal enemy". Subsequently they are left out when discussing racial oppression.

Which is absurd considering that observing what ethnic minority groups have been in America the shortest amount of time, Asians and East Indians are at the top of the list yet they are typically just as successful or more successful as the average white American even with no legacy advangates. Just a stable 2 parent home and solid work ethics. That's a mind blowing concept , I know.

Tangentally- is anyone here aware of the discrepancies between acceptable MCAT scores to get into med school between a prospective black student and a prospective Asian student? The answer will make you want to throw up, that such blatant racism (IMO) is prevalent in the 21st century. Especially in matters as critical as health care.

Punishing those who make good choices and work hard, while lowering the bar for only select races , in the name of equality seems like the definition of a eugenic
oxymoron. Yet we just keep quiet and roll with it, because hey... "I don't want to be called insensitive or a racist"

Ya it seems like Asians can't play their minority card much anymore as well, they're actually becoming too successful in academia and are facing backlash.

 

[FootstompShonie]

I go to a liberal college in Seattle and no one has ever said this to me or anything close to it in my life.

So I doubt it's exactly a common occurrence.

They even let the Trump school club build a mock-wall one day as a special event to show their support. It was pretty funny because a Mexican student scaled the wall to show it wouldn't work. Made me laugh my ass off.
