The system

[TheGrey]

I've been giving this a lot of thought, and discussed ideas with the spousal unit.

It feels more and more that there IS no system- none that actually exists in rules, forms, and protocols like we expect. The 'system' we see now is all about power- inch by inch, demand by demand, we see "authority figures" bowing and scraping to the shrieking tantrums thrown by useful idiots that think that by moving the goal posts, so they can keep everyone off their game. It's no longer about racism. It may never have been about racism. This is an election year, and every election year the stakes seem to go higher and higher and the impelled emergencies are more extreme.

This is just an opinion, of course. I'm very interested to see what everyone else thinks.

The system isn?t racist. The system is systemic. If the population magically flipped overnight, whites would be burning down, tagging, and rioting over the same shit.

If you don?t design points of flexibility into rigid systems, they will design themselves.

So do the claimants have standing? Are their complaints legit?

I plan on watching from the sidelines just in case any intellectuals show up.

That you thought either of my comments were trolling is insulting, and a little too on the nose of my point. The fact that the comment came from me, and it was immediately swept under the rug as trolling or being woke is no surprise. Instant write off, zero effort to even engage in conversation.

If this thread somehow doesn't turn into a circle jerk of high-fiving the same old comments from a place of comfort, I'll be the first to speak up about it.

If you think that a bunch of white people are going to be able to figure out how the experiences of non-white people shape their perceptions, without the input of non-white people, prepare for disappointment.

I think best way to experience is to work at companies like Petronas in Malaysia, Nissan, Mitsubishi, or Santander. I think Petronas would be probably a BEST place to experience the racism for racism deniers.
American (regardless of color, gender, age, etc) working at Malaysia which muslim is primary religion. I assure them that even English Speaking country nationals (like NZ, AUS, Ireland, etc ) would see "american" different than what we think how they think of an American. I leanred that quick when i worked at German branch office for about 10 days.

I bet their citizens would beat the BITCH ASS FUCK out of em for wearing American flag shirt, or talking about Christian calling you Christo-fucks etc. Those racist denier would probably have to jump off of the Petronas building after facing that crap and have to live with it. (just like that dumbass who was assaulting a lady who was wearing Puerto Rico shirt for not being US citizen)

Another good example (kinda similar) was Renault Chair getting arrested in Japan and held captive for year without trial. Frenchman got fucked, because Renualt-Nissan employee had little god damn coup d'?tat on their non-japanese boss.

Conclusion: If denier wanna face some racist shit, just work at rural Egypt for few years.

going back to the topic.

Simply if the controlling politics , money, and number of population shifts favors whatever minority is will change the entire dynamics.
Let's just say 100 of us went into "1 eye monster island" and there are 1mil of population of 1 eye humans. They control the $$. They control the politics, and population majority.
100 of us with 2eyes will be discriminated and not offered a good job regardless of education or experiences.


EDIT: in order to be fully economically efficient, it would be ideal to hire 2 eye people if they can work extremely well. Economics with discrimination.
Economic discrimination exists. Maybe those recent British immigrant PREFERS going to British Mechanics over mechanic which is closer to their house? They prefer seeing Union Jack posted at the shop over. Maybe that is PREMIUM they prefer paying over exact SAME SERVICE.

I have to pop back in and apologize for my remark about hoping intellectuals show up. That was pretty rude of me.

Speaking of Affirmative Action. I guess it was made to put more minority student into good schools. Now many minority student cannot go into school like Harvard due to Affirmative Action.


BTW (slightly off topic ,but same concept), I was looking for a new dentist about 2 years ago. I came up with this dentist, and I found out there are only FEMALE dentist/hygienist/Staffs. Still the same now.
ALL FEMALE, and NO MALE. (see photos).
I do NOT see this as a coincident at all.

Well, my dentist is male, and the three dentists I had before this one were all male. I have seen an increase in female dentists over the years, but I wonder if there's something else at play here.

And when I was stationed in Berlin in the late 80s early 90s, the German military had no female soldiers. They snubbed every salute I gave, and would not speak to me if there were a male with me- they would only address him.

Yeah. I remember about decade ago. Some dental school and medical school were highly encouraging males to apply due to low number of male applicants.
To back up my theory, I should have seen how many dentist who live in Thornton and near. I should then see male to female dentist ratio to even scream foul.

[BREATHER]

I applied and took a Civil Service test for a large police department back east in about 1978. Placed 106th about of over 1600 people. Never got a call or an interview, just the letter on where I placed. In the 70's Affirmative Action was the battle cry of the "downtrodden". 40 years and WTF ?

[Bailey Guns]

I'm just going to drop this right here, it's a minority gentleman's view of "the system" and other topics.

**WARNING** Language and other potentially offensive comments within.

I'd like to have that guy as a neighbor. I found one of the comments after his video very appropriate.

When your country is so NON-racist people have to fake hate crimes.
