Honestly, I feel like you should be put on blast. I've seen the most disgusting and hateful things on your facebook. Dropping repeated nbombs and the like because you were mad Obama won. You have so much hate for black people it is actually borderline psychotic. You say all of these things about how to come up in the world, yet call our president a n***er. How does that even make sense?
You are the last person who needs to tell minorities how to gain their ranks in this world.
You, nor I, know what it's like to grow up and live in the current state of affairs with black skin color. You have no idea, so stop pretending like you have the answers.

That has nothing to do with "white privilege", that is blatant racism and that goes both ways.

Yet, a black girl born in Birmingham in the 50's, grew up, attended Stanford and was Secretary of State for the United States. Despite "white privilege".
Yet nobody has said white privilege is a giant hurdle every black must clear to attain success. There are thousands of successful blacks that didn't let it impeded their success. None of that diminishes the existence of it.

yes it does, however being in a country where the social majority and more importantly the "economic majority" (a term I have been using to represent who holds the majority of the upper managerial positions) this means that if the same percentage of people are "racist" in any race, then it is more likely for a minority to encounter said racism.
ETA: also ^^^^ post above, success stories don't refute the fact that some level of advantage is there to those in the majority. it isn't an insult, or demeaning, but just life.

"How is it not? He says if you want to be treated a certain way, then here are how to fix those problems.
At the same time, he calls the president the n word. Obviously, the president has more than earned his way to do all the things he's listed.
Explain to me how that's not contradictory?"
Where in there do you say that it's not a good idea? I understand you find it contradictory -- but that doesn't stop that statement from being true.
The personal information is completely irrelevant to the discussion of the veracity of these points.

Don't get me wrong, the NPHC is a great system, and many of their members become successful. My mother was in a sorority, as was my grandmother, along with plenty of cousins and so on. However, not everyone who is black wants to join these types of frats. Maybe they grew around a mostly white neighborhood, and want to be with thier white friends in their frat or sorority. Maybe they see all the pretty houses at Alabama and LSU, and want to be a part of that. Why not, everyone else is. The point is that we should have that opportunity like everyone else, and not be confinded to a certain one becase "thats what other black people join".

I'm sorry. I haven't read the whole thread. Just the initial post.
Are you saying white people don't have it easier than anyone else nowadays?
Are you saying it's an equal playing field?
Seriously just asking because I don't know where anyone stands. FWIW, I don't think it's an equal playing field... It's better than what it was, but we still aren't there yet.

While I agree with your point here, I also believe that the same % of people is not correct. I believe the number of African Americans who have racist tendencies are higher than that of the % of whites. Not saying that it is right or wrong, but I believe that.

While he may not explicitly say a ton of racist shite on here, I've always gotten the feeling that delta really, really hates black people.

To clarify, idgaf about exposing deltaland for what most suspected all along. It's the using his idiotic opinion as an example that racism is still an issue in MS. I can get on my wife's Facebook and find all kinds of shite from all different MS minorities saying racist shite about white people.

It was tougher for me as a white guy to get the job I have. Consequently, it'll be tougher for me to get a promotion than my minority counterparts.

Saying that the very fact of being white doesn't make it easier, and the sole fact of being a minority doesn't make it harder.
Skin color alone is irrelevant.

I gotcha. I did state that this was not the majority, but it still is a problem...
I love Mississippi man and it hurts me to see someone like that with so much hate. I'm with you on that it can go both ways.

Tell this to corporate America, who is still using skin color to hire correct percentages of races so they don't get sued.

Same here, and I'm not even from there. There are flaws for sure, but it really is a great place.

And that is the problem. A poor, white American male has no advantage over any minority that wants to be successful.
There are no advocacy groups, universities with special grants, special treatment -- he just gets shite on.

I will agree that corp america is skewed this way. However, overall life experiences I think tend to be advantaged to be white.
