Man, some people want to be a victim so badly they'll reach for absolutely anything. The protests were about government violence and the indifference from lawmakers. Only a conservative cry bully could turn that into "I'm being attacked because I'm white" Affirmative action is precisely not that, you're *again* being extremely hyperbolic and exiting the realm of facts to justify your victim complex. Your last sentence is just more laying out of your insistence that helping people is about hurting others. If there's a zero sum game in America, it's not between races, it's between classes. Any other example that might actually be 1 to 1 and not 1 to 0?

That's not at all what affirmative action is or means. In fact, it's literally the opposite, the goal is to make sure someone is not passed over from being hired or promoted because they're a person of color when they are indeed the most qualified candidate. If you squint real hard and spin it around you might be able to argue that if we're talking about filling quotas for a university or something like that. Thinking affirmative action is something that takes opportunities away from what people is just plain wrong.

Get the fuck out of here with this shit. No one wants the filth you spew. You and most everyone around you has unconscious bias against non-white people because of the world you grew up in. So we tip the scale, not against those of higher merit, but against those whose only higher merit is their skin color. Then, once you start seeing a world where everyone contributes and all talents are seen, then we can talk about whether or not the scale tipped too far. If you're feeling insecure about your place in the world, join a union or a collective help network. Helping others gives others incentives to help you. It's like networking, but not purely selfish, so it's more fun!

> Yes, I can, because that’s exactly what liberals were doing in 2020-2022 in the wake of the George Floyd riots. LOL, when? People who were white were being targeted for getting rounded up by a rogue outfit like ICE, which is now threatening to go "door to door"? Also, 2020 - 2022 - that spanned two administrations. You are saying both administrations targeted the poor widdle whites?

Lmao. This idiot just said helping black people hurts white people, and vice versa.
