Hey, maybe we can go back to segregation. That would probably please magas

two things

first - people naturally segregate - its why we have so many ethnic enclaves

second - Trump signed EO's saying everyone is treated equally and fairly based on their merit. Its literally against the last to use race, gender, sex, skin color etc against anyone. Isn't that literally what everyone wants ?
 
It's funny, if you ask any woman or a minority where they would rather live, in the entire world, all of them say the US (except for the Swiss!). The opportunities that women, minorities and everyone else have in the US are amazing. Imagine living in Afghanistan. Why so many Americans squander so many opportunities just to be victims is beyond me. My guess is if these victims of racism and misogyny would stop focusing on their victimhood and instead channeled all that effort into proving to the world that women and minorities can become great successes, they would become great successes.
100% agreed. The people, men and women included have to stand up for themselves....not demand the government stand up for them.

No. Liberals want the way it was where white people and Asians were sent to the back of the bus, which is their way of getting reparations.
 
Inequality exists because of human nature. Inequality exists because of myriad cultural issues. Inequality exists because genetics isn't fair. Inequality exists because the world isn't perfect and never will be.
So wait.

White people are genetically superior?

Well, if you listen to these neo-leftists complain that racism and misogyny are more worse now than ever, then it means the US government is not able to fix the problems. Out of curiosity, how many problems has the US government actually fixed in the last 100 years? It's actually a good argument for anarchy.

That brings up another key point. Why is it that Asians, male and female, do so well in America? Asian women are minorities and female, a double whammy, yet they consistently outperform many white men. Kinda' bitch slaps the victimhood narratives right across the face, doesn't it?

I saw the reason firsthand visiting with an Asian couple in my occupation who owned a small business. It was about 4:30 and their son came in to help them after school. I was curious and asked about it. They matter fact told me that this was expected in their culture and that when he got home, he had dinner and homework. That was the routine. That is why they get As because it is demanded of them, and why they too will have their own small business when they are adults. Oddly they did not complain that minorities were put ahead of them because Asians chose not to be victims.

From my childhood experiences I think the secret to success isn't being white and having rich parents, it's just having good parents, especially fathers. I agree with Denzel Washington that a lot of the problems in black communities stem from the lack of fathers in the home.

He's 100% correct. The government stepping in as the paternal figure for a home without a father helped nothing.

I think we need less federal government and better local communities. We are all the results of our parents and our local community. All the federal government does is try to override parents and local communities and ultimately ****s up everything it touches.

I am optimistically guarded but remain hopeful that the naysayers who want MORE paternal type government, involvement in our lives, live to see to see that they were wrong. I hope they live to realize that the government has caused this bloat by pandering to them for their votes.

The government basically needs to stop nannying their citizens, and get back to protecting Constitutional rights. Slashing inefficiencies, reducing the spending, and streamlining operations are positives that will help everyone. 76% according to Harvard Harris support DOGE.

Actually, @Big Brother, I was wrong about that figure but not off by much. It's even better than 76% :)

New Harvard-Harris Poll: Nearly 80% Of Respondents Support DOGE Cutting Government Waste
WASHINGTON D.C. (WSAU) – A new bipartisan poll from Harvard-Harris has found that most Americans support President Trump’s policies on immigration, cutting government waste, and banning biological men from women’s sports.

According to the poll, 42% of respondents said they think the country is headed in the right direction, up 14% from their January poll; the percentage of respondents who said they think the country is headed in the wrong direction decreased from 58% to 48% in the past month; Trump’s overall approval rating now stands at 52%, and 58% of respondents said they think he is doing a better job than former President Biden.

When broken down by policy, 81% support deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes, while 76% support DOGE’s efforts to reduce government waste. Other key policies mentioned included 69% supporting the restriction on biological males participating in women’s sports, 68% backing the proclamation that there are only two genders, and 63% supporting the temporary freezing of USAID.

The poll, which was conducted on February 19 and 20, included 2,443 registered voters and had a margin of error of 2%.

You are correct that people naturally segregate, but the difference is between inclusion and exclusion. I choose to sit with liberals but don’t exclude republicans who want to join us.

But it’s OK with you that government intrude in your body telling you that you must breed against your will. I guess it’s OK for the government toslash necessary departments and appoint people who are incompetent to head departments

I lived in one local community, but I taught in a different local community. Mine was wealthy and where I taught was poverty.. We had inferior equipment., inferior books etc…. Where I lived, the schools were top of the line with equipment.

And Denzel Washington will also tell you that racism is part of the problem. When you are told for hundreds of years that you are an inferior person., you internalize it and actually believe it and so do white people

Part of the answer is, they didn’t come here in chains and weren’t to find as inferior
 
I don't know you personally, but I do know roughly half of the student bodies at Harvard and all other universities are female. I never once met a woman who qualified for a credit card or bank loan and was turned down because of her gender. If women are willing to accept employment and be paid less than a man, then maybe they should negotiate better. My staff were all paid the same independent of gender. Senior staff were paid more because they had more experience. Whether you like it or not, women today have amazing opportunities just waiting for them, all they have to do is make sure they qualify. Winners go out and grab those opportunities, losers spend their days complaining on the Internet instead of preparing themselves for opportunities.
Well, obviously, you’re much younger than I am I remember all those things and I am grateful that you don’t because it shows that my activism helped women
Yes, women have more opportunities than they ever had and it didn’t just happen in a vacuum. I remember Rush Limbaugh called us femme Nazis and other pejoratives., and men mocked us and lo and behold all these changes that you take for granted, happened
This is why we are having a teacher shortage. Women were traditionally teaches, nurses or secretaries, and now that women have access to all professions it is hurting these careers. My granddaughter is a nurse and because they can’t find nurses she is making close to $100,000.
 
why do you think that ?
Says that you are going to need for health and safety are being cut, but yet billionaires are not getting tax increases… keep fighting for them
 
He told me that a lot of his classmates over the years never finished HS and some were dead by 18. While I'm not a billionaire, I was able to partially retire at 45 and fully retire at 50 and never have to worry about money at all.


Class of 1983, Southampton HS, NY. I got a 1380/1600 on the SAT. Evidently it wasn't good enough for MIT. In the end, it really didn't matter and after my Engineering degree I went straight to Wharton for an MBA.
Poverty causes people to drop out of school because they have to work. That’s what my husband did in the 10th grade..
That’s a good SAT score, but there were many with higher score and forgive me for doubting that you were straight A’s
One good thing about this forum is we can say anything we want. I had the same sat score but I couldn’t apply. Thanks to the woman’s movement that changed.
 
I will share my pie with a lovely lady, but I hate to get screwed out of millions and not even get kissed.
That sounds a bit like a problem
 
Complete Mythological Nonsense:

The Myth of the Republican-Democrat 'Switch':

"After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy--a strong proponent of civil rights--in late 1963, Southern Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson saw it as his mission to pass the CIVIL Rights Act as a tribute to Kennedy, who had first proposed the bill five months before he was killed. Democrats in the Senate, however, filibustered it.

In June of 1964 though, the bill came up again, and it passed, over the strenuous objections of Southern Democrats. 80% of House Republicans voted for the measure, compared with just 61% of Democrats, while 82% of Republicans in the Senate supported it, compared with 69% of Democrats.

Nearly all of the opposition was, naturally, in the South, which was still nearly unanimously Democratic and nearly unanimously resistant to the changing country. One thing that most assuredly didn't change, though, was party affiliation. A total of 21 Democrats in the Senate opposed the Civil Rights Act. Only one of them, "Dixiecrat" Strom Thurmond, ever became a Republican. The rest, including Al Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd--a former Exalted Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan--remained Democrats until the day they died.

Moreover, as those 20 lifelong Democrats retired, their Senate seats remained in Democrat hands for several decades afterwards. So too did the overwhelming majority of the House seats in the South until 1994, when a Republican wave election swept the GOP into control of the House for the first time since 1952. 1994 was also the first time Republicans ever held a majority of House seats in the South--a full 30 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act.


Democrats WANT people to believe the "switch" occurred way back when, but that is a myth perpetuated by the Democracts. Meanwhile Joe Biden is the "racist" responsible for the 1994 Crime Bill that led to the incarceration of so many Black Americans over sale and/or possession of tiny amounts of certain drugs.
The switch that is closest right after the civil rights act passed, Black people were Republicans and they became Democrats and the red state became Republicans or do you believe that the KKK and the proud boys are all Democrats?
