Interesting read

"I feel like so much of my career has been about people taking chances on me, putting faith in me, etc.," he told me. "I have had basically four different careers—all really interesting and challenging—and I've gotten the chance to transition to each and show what I can do, based on people giving me those opportunities. I'm not blind to the fact that for many non-white people, getting a big break 'on faith'...is essentially unheard of."

Sounds salty to me

I dunno I don't think being a salty little b---- does anything tbh. White good-for-nothings in s-----y towns don't have as many opportunities as priveliged whites from better towns. Same as black good-for-nothings in s-----y towns don't have many opportunities. There are priveliged black folk from better towns with more opportunities than cacs. And vice versa. It's true the privileged majority are cacs though.

But I see this more as a capitalist problem than a racism one at this day and age in America. History has gone by quick and we suddenly find ourselves here today and yes cacs in the U.S do have an advantage over blacks. It's probably magnified because they are the overwhelming majority too but anyway. There's no state enforced racism anymore. The rights are the same.

Being stuck in this constant cycle of negativity doesn't do anyone any favours apart from racist cacs to keep pointing at laughing at blacks.

What the f--- do you want? Literally no ones stopping you from doing what you want in life. There are so many other groups of people around the world who would k--- to have the problems b---- a--- salty nikkas like Flacko keep complaining about. No one is stopping you from getting a job or going to a better area or whatever you want. No one except for the concept of capitalism, which doesn't care what colour you are. Racism does exist and there are still racist people but it's all irrelevant. The powers that be have all moved on to that petty s---. In an aggressive world of free market economy s--- like this just doesn't matter


Stop being a b----. Be a man and take care of yourself. Forget racism. Stop living in the past. Stop seething over cacs on Twitter claiming they got a job because they were white. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Recognise that the injustices of the world go far and beyond "White privelige" in the United States and this is nothing compared to them. Ignore racist individuals. Stop being a b----. Grow some balls. Recognise that regardless of what's happened in the past you are now living in the first world with more opportunities than billions of other people. Take advantage of this. Stop being a b----. Stop being salty. Stop being petty. Get on with your life and stop making s--- threads.

Be a man

Why is it such a problem for black people to get together and talk about things that affect the black community?

There's so much anger in your comment why?

"Be a man"...

How is this thread contradictory to his manhood?

Cacs telling other races to stop worrying about racism

Yeh it's the same racism just coveted behind an economic pyramid scheme.

"Here Bobby, take this job and hold this CEO title for me when i pass. I'll let Jermaine over there take your orders when he's worked hard enough. But don't think this is because you're white, it's because you're smarter and more educated than all of them!"

Lol "forget racism"

Lol "be a man"

Lol "racism exists and there's still racist people but it's irrelevant"

Lol "no ones stopping you from doing what you want"

You make a few valid points but a majority of this is ur own privilege speaking. The privilege of not being subject to the same upbringing as those you're now taunting into making a better life for themselves while marginalizing their very real issues.
