Milo Yiannopoulos, has officially opened up a college scholarship exclusively for young white men.

I have read conservative statements that say being a straight white christian male in this country is to be oppressed.

I think they are loony tunes.

As a straight white greek-orthodox (not practicing) male I personally feel like I am at the top of the food chain, and have been so all my life, and feel blessed for it.

Why are some people have such delusional paranoia?

If a group has always been privileged, anything that lessens that privilege even slightly is seen as oppression.

Unfortunately a lot of people seem to think liberty is a zero sum game, i.e. if someone else is gaining liberty, that somehow takes away from mine.

you tell us: what is the "Again" when America was great? What is the selling point, here?

I've been trying to figure out when America sucked, and for me and "my people"--basically never. For vastly more than half of the population: women and minorities, there have been some rather dreadful times in American history to be in those groups.

I look at Trump supporters, and their overwhelmingly homogeneous demographic, and wonder when it was actually better for them. The answer isn't entirely clear, obviously, but we can make an honest guess.

Tell me: what past are we supposed to prefer?

goddamn, you're being intentionally obtuse, unless, sorry, were you dropped on the head a lot as a child?

nope just want Magincrybaby to backup the ridiculous statements he made.

 

[OutHouse]

whatever that means...

you appear to have supported and continue to support drumpf, and his mantra was make america great again. the implication is that
a) it's no longer great
b) it previously was

so tell us, when was america great, when is he referencing?
This question ain't rocket surgery.

 

[MajinCry]

awesome dude please, this ain't some sorta "One in ten people..." thing. The other posters already got to ya; answer the question of how far back you want to go. "Make America Great Again" has been Trump's mantra, and your ilk have been lapping it up.

Answer the question, if you feel my statement to be such a depraved injustice. How far back do you want America to go?

We already know, however. As we've seen with the "Crying Librul" banter, you want to go back to a time where minorities were not afforded opportunities, to escape the results of centuries of oppression. You want to go back to a time where you could sexually assault women, and not be denigrated; "Grab them by the pussy".

You want to go back to a time where there were no social services. Obamacare? You republican/conservative/right-wing nuts made it into a half-baked measure of cronyism, with a lust of getting rid of it entirely. You want to go back to a time where awesome people, wetbacks and squaws were out of sight, out of mind, and they were suffering all the more for it.

Your guy, the man in the white house, is now in power. His entire platform is summed up on moral, environmental, and societal regression. The white old guard are all the more for it, and it's going to get very bad; returning to 1960 in 2017 is not what I'd call the way forward.

Luckily, the countries around the world are moving forward regardless. Whilst Americans are pining for the days where Indian Rolling was a nation-wide pastime, as well as for when coal was used to power trains, the rest of the world forges on.


So, answer the question. It doesn't have to be specific, a ballpark will suffice. Give it to the nearest decade.

Why hasn't the ACLU reached out to Milo to help him defend the First Amendment?

They're probably stuck in line behind all your white nationalist friends queuing up around the block to defend the cause.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

They've defended the Westboro Baptist Church. The ACLU isn't the evil commie boogieman some think it is.

It doesn't matter who's Milo's friends are. The ACLU thinks it is always important to defend the rights of free speech and free expression regardless of how unpopular the speaker or expressor may be.

The IQ gap is across the US i.e. it doesn't matter if you're talking about Alabama or Massachusetts.

I do not even get into IQ issues, personally I think it should be 125+ in order to vote, but that would be a Heinlein thing.

I do not have a college degree, but it tests well above that in at any rate.

It's irrelevant in a lot of cases.

I've gotten sick of seeing some elected officials who do not seem to be very bright with a piece of paper running various things for a long time, it's a more of a "who you know" and "will your frat buddies benefit from it" issue in government of course.

Trump is just doing the same thing with the US, with assistance outside of the US and his old buddies, and the faithful are swallowing it up in a fabulous manner.

Deregulate the stock market and bring in the Russians, what can go wrong.

He's writing so many EO's with little to no review, it is pathetic.

Of course he fired the AG, why wouldn't he, he's a raging twit.

Just a heads up that a lack of capacity to figure out what freedom of speech is and other basic thing is why conservatives have the intellectual standing they do.

If you watched many of the YouTube videos of the event many of the police weren't even present protecting students getting hurt but rather stayed huddled inside a building. Milo had to put on a bulletproof vest and was quickly escorted out by his own team for his own safety.

Mayor of Berkeley seemed more interested in expressing his opinion of Milo rather than ordering police to protect the safety of the students and the First Ammendment at UC Berkeley, ironically known as the home of the free speech movement.

Shouldn't a university receiving federal funds, the mayor of a city and the police defend those that are being prevented from exercising their First Amendment rights regardless of their opinion of them?

The authorities, in this case and other cases, the campus police did little to stop the violence and little to permit him to speak, thus depriving the hundreds of students the ability to hear him.

Civil liberties include:

• Freedom of speech
• The right to privacy
• The right to be free from unreasonable searches of your home
• The right to a fair court trial
• The right to marry
• The right to vote"

When the authorities do nothing to protect our civil liberties, they are in essence limiting them. They don't apply to you, you're a Canadian.

I found 2 things in this thread completely ignorant.

Criminal justice system is not causing black problems. Really its news to be blacks and white are treated equally by the CJS. If you have data to the contrary please enlighten.

HR policies are favorable top minorities. Around 10 years ago the University of Chicago did a study. They sent out blind resumes with equal qualifications. Differences some had black sounding names. The resumes with the black sounding names had a 50% less chance of a call back. Another HR story a black man with a clean record has the same chance of landing a job as a white felon. Go figure

Hi, and welcome to this thread which is about that racist piece of shit, milo, offering up a scholarship to that heavily downtrodden group of social outcasts, known as straight whites. So take your bullshit elsewhere tajjy. In fact I believe there's a wholly different thread, regarding the horrible, horrible tragedy befallen poor milo at Berkley.

How about you cite why you think he's racist. It's such an easy claim to make if you have no cause to do it,how about you back it up?
