If America fails

It’s because it’s white population was so fucking greedy and privileged that it would rather die than share.

If  ?????

Johnson was the last Democrat to win the white vote.

Oh, c'mon man.

Is it ironic the most vocal about race are from Oregon and Vermont?  

Maybe not so ironic - at least in Vermont - because we witness it firsthand every day?

Witness what?

 

>ironic the most vocal about race are from Oregon<

 

Not if you know history...

Oregon was America’s first and only state to begin as 'whites-only'

Oregon’s original constitution banned black people from the state, and the law stayed in the constitution for well over 100 years

Blame the Frontiersmen / Cowboy Myth -- perpetuated by the media, fortune hunters, immigrants, gun salesmen and robber barons, of course. Same as it ever was. 

I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.

Exactly my point OC lumber.  No state is as white as Vermont or as fucking warped as Oregon.  Quit projecting your shit on the rest of us.  Feel guilty about your own ass backwards states.

And while we're talking history, let's not forget the indigenous people (who were themselves displaced immigrants) practiced plenty of genocide and slavery themselves. "Indians" were not some monolithic gentile, compassionate culture... remember the Mayans and Aztecs -- not nice guys to "outsiders" 

Where is this mythical country where humans share and care all the time? And what color is their skin tone?

 

Projecting? Not sure where you live, but racism is a reality here in Jersey. 

>>Witness what?

White privilege - which takes place in all 50 states.


>>Feel guilty about your own ass backwards states.

I'll just feel that way about ALL states whether you agree with me or not.

Yet, when it comes to White Privilege, White people somehow become the authority.  

>>No state is as white as Vermont

Not only is that not true - there are even 5 more states that are close enough for slow dancing.

 

Maine (96.56%)

Vermont (96.15%)

New Hampshire (94.97%)

West Virginia (94.83%)

Wyoming (93.98%)

Idaho (93.07%)

Iowa (92.22%)

The floor is yours. I have said all I needed to say.
