Actually, there were many reasons the colonists declared independence from England. They are enumerated in the document. Perhaps you should educate yourself by reading it. You would discover that our government is doing many of the same things as George III.

You’re suggesting there are no non-white people in Italy, England, or Greece who contributed to those things? Really?

And where do those things endure in this country outside of academia?

There are surveys of happiness by country - part of the “best places to live” surveys mentioned in the post to which I was responding. Like this one:

And Trump supporters are a minority. The majority were less happy and tossed him out on his ass.

Funny thing is, there are zero different “races” of people left in this world. We’re the only “race” left.

The only people who talk about race like it’s some kind of actual, biological reality, are those same self-identified idiots who say things like “cis” in a serious conversation. They’re just not very smart. :person_shrugging:

Yep. I’ve done it all.

I’ve hired a child social worker for a cyber security customer support job because I knew her emotional intelligence had to be extremely high dealing with child endangerment cases.

I’ve hired a plumber for the same reason. Neither had degrees, just interest in cyber. Both white, one man and one woman.

Oh and also

So perhaps the real issue is culture, not skin color.

Why?
Are you claiming there is one black culture?

But, you being white gives this statement a different meaning, because skin color and actual racists in the world. :wink:

How do you separate black people from black culture?

113

Black US culture…

Yes. It doesn’t mean every black person in America aligns with it. Most do. But it is just one culture.

114

Isn’t if weird though that millions of people are trying to get here by any means possible rather than one of those “ happier” countries??

115

You’re the ones trying to do that, not us.

Thanks for admitting that race is a qualifying factor in your equation to hire…and that’s racism…racist.

I can honestly say that again, that doesn’t enter into the equation in a negative sense. If they are the most qualified, that wins the opportunity.

I’m trying to separate black people from black culture? How so?

Is this where you tell me what black culture really is? Go ahead
