So you are agreeing with him. I don’t know anything about Barbara Streisand’s family or lack of but it does not matter that you can point to specific white people who are not family oriented. Nobody likes to be painted with a broad brush when the shoe’s on the other foot though do they. The white race is about the only one you can put down publicly and not be guilted into feeling bad about it (white trash, redneck, elitist). If we can stereotype one race then we can do it for all. If we are going to put down as fact that Mexicans are family oriented by virtue of their ethnicity then what can be said is built into the genetics of the black, white, asian races given their cultures? This country was built by a HARD WORKING majority white people. It became the greatest in the world, by most people’s standards. Therefore how can anyone say that white people have not worked hard? Who were the farmers, the construction workers, engineers, scientists? What do the immigrants do that white Americans have not done in the past before the immigrants came over and took those jobs? My father had a landscaping business for 15 years and employed quite a few white teens. My first job was Burger King. Our cities were filled with blue collar workers and a lot of them were...white. I’m not trying to put down the Hispanic race because there are many good people of course but I’m tired of us being put down.
“So you are agreeing with him. I don’t know anything about Barbara Streisand’s family or lack of but it does not matter that you can point to specific white people who are not family oriented.”
Streisand is an example of a ‘progressive white woman’, a following that is huge. I’d use Oprah, but she’s not white. Streisand is an example of a very large section of the US - white progressive women who supported Obama. Is she ‘family oriented’? No. Is she representative of this section of the population and what they believe? Yes.
“The white race is about the only one you can put down publicly”
I am white, very white myself. And I think my criticism of this segment of white people is quite accurate.
“If we are going to put down as fact that Mexicans are family oriented by virtue of their ethnicity”
They are family-oriented by virtue of their culture, just as white progressive women like Barbra Streisand are not family oriented due to the influences of their culture.
“This country was built by a HARD WORKING majority white people.”
I’ll be blunt, it was built by Hard working Christians. Not by secular progressives like Streisand. Folks who worked hard, got married, stayed married, had children, raised children. These are the folks that built America.
White folks need to go back to what has worked for America, and eschew progressive behaviours like those of Streisand, progressive culture that is rotting us out from the inside.
“Therefore how can anyone say that white people have not worked hard?”
I never said they haven’t worked hard. They have worked hard. What I am saying is that secular progressivism has rotted the core of this away. Things like welfare, income tax, etc have all worked to give an incentive to not working and taking away the incentive to work. Was it hispanic people that passed these laws? No. It was lily white folks. So, if our history is that we built America, what are modern folks supposed to think about White people in the last 100 years?
Can you go back and look at our legislative track record in that time and say that we’ve done a good job? We’ve just about lost the last of the folks that can even remember a time before Wilson what the world was like then. We’ve already lost those who were adults before Wilson. So there is no dissenting voice as to what life used to be like. Soon we’ll be able to say the same thing about social security.
