I wonder how they would respond to black?

Ah, Buzzfeed, going All In For Racism. I’ll offer an alternate title: “The Further Away You Get From Buzzfeed, The Easier Life Becomes”

“White” used to be a description. Now it’s an accusation.

“The further away you get from white, the harder life can be, sometimes.”

Unless you’re a white guy walking down the street with nothing on your mind and you get jumped by some “urban utes” who are playing “the knockout game” and on a whim, after they are through punching, kicking and slamming your head on the street, you end up in the hospital with your jaw wired shut and permanent headaches.

Time to STFU about how hard (insert minority group name here)’s have it and get on with your lives and leave others to do the same.

In 1960, one out of every ten residents of Singapore was addicted to opium based drugs. Fifty years later, one out of every ten residents of Singapore was a millionaire. What changed?

Hint: It had nothing to do with race or perceptions.

Much worse than that for some white men. My dad's friend (in his sixties) was waiting at a bus stop near our home when he was jumped by several black men only because he was white. Not only did they punch him repeatedly, they doused him with gasoline and set him afire. He spent a couple years in a hospital undergoing repeated skin grafts, and lost the use of his right arm. Life can be very hard for white victims of black crime.

“Much worse than that for some white men.”

Yep. Men and women both.

A sidebar story

Knox County Schools would go through cultural competency training. The training would focus on the “disciplinary disparities” between students of color and their white peers.

The only white person I’ve ever know was that albino kid in high school.
If they mean Caucasian that I am, I’ve never been white, not even close.

I seem to recall very harsh new laws and punishments in the area of behavior, along with adoption free-market capitalism...am I close?

Here’s a hint. Do all you can to improve your IQ. Don’t take illegal drugs. Work hard. Don’t have kids outside of marriage. Get up early in the morning. No pot. Don’t blame your failures on other people. Stop whining.

I can read the free purple drank, the fried chicken and the watermelon. Not sure on the other items. Maybe free pictures?

Don’t like NOT being white? Blame your parents, not me!

I don’t like being bald, short and ugly but don’t blame the coloreds across town for it!
