MLB moves All-Star Game over Ga. voting law

Never said it was exclusive to black people. That would have been silly. Another strawman?

You did by calling it black privilege

I agree with you. MLB has put this voting issue prominently on the national stage. That is important.

Yep. Without the MLB, nobody would have known.

Many fewer would have known.

Thank goodness they stepped up and took $1.9M out of Atlanta for awareness.

I agree.

Many ways to increase national awareness without punishing the very people it was supposed to help.

This is the problem today…everything is done to generate maximum conflict.

Very few people seek to raise awareness by other means.

Yes we are at a point where maybe since there is no common shared reality anymore that understanding is impossible.

But hardly anyone is even trying.

The person who came up with the term in the first place.

Who?
…

Peggy McIntosh.

And it didn’t originally apply about race when she was talking about it.

Privilege was mostly about a “combination of unearned advantage and unearned disadvantage in life”.

When McIntosh wrote about it, it was to try and foster understanding.

No doubt now it means something accusatory.

I thought so. You’re wrong about it not being about race. It’s right in the title.

It’s about race now. McIntosh didn’t just teach about white privilege. She taught about privilege.

In one case. There are all kinds of privilege, as you have learned. Very rarely is about race. It is in this case.

What’s the name of the book?

Conservatives…we see libs here doing it all the time. Proof positive they’re not a racist.

I edited to say “just”.

Yes she used white privilege and male privilege because those were her personal experiences.

But the concept of privilege was to raise awareness that in all systems there are people that gain unearned advantages and are also people who are disadvantaged in an unearned way.

The idea of pure individual existing outside of any system, where they make their own way, is a myth.

But it’s not a black privilege to be able to self segregate. White people can do that as well.

@Borgia_dude

Are conservatives still playing dumb on these laws?

Are libs still playing dishonest on these laws?

“If we remove all polling stations in Atlanta except one in a suburb, every person in Atlanta can still vote, so what’s the problem?”

That’s the level of sly winking going on here. We see you.

Nobody said that. You made that up. It’s a lie.

I thought that it was obvious hyperbole. I’ll keep it in mind that you have trouble discerning such.

No it wasn’t. She was a Critical Theorist just like those today. A radical feminist. Her purpose was the same as theirs.

@JayJay

As a white, radical feminist.

Usually. It is more a question of degree and level.

Wrong. Not anymore they can’t.

If I have to drive 25 miles to drop off my ballot

Nobody does.

You can mail it. Post office will pick it up from the mailbox at your house, or at the nearby USPS mailbox.

Does the WNBA allow male players?

The social trajectory is in place for that.

Have you embraced the white nationalist movement in this country? If not, then I’m not talking to you.

Above you wrote this post directed at me…

“I know who you side with. Par for the course.”

Do I embrace the “White Nationalist Movement”?

No…Hell I don’t even know what it is. Was that created by the same people who try to make everyone a member of the Q thingy…?

What White Nationalist movement? Is there a White Lives Matter movement I m unaware of?

I embrace the promise of America. That I have been blessed by God the believe all people are created equal… that we all have the right thru our intellect and ingenuity to take our brief time on earth and make it the best life we can have. I try (and admittedly I m not prefect) to judge others not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I believe that citizenship matters. In terms of elections every citizen of this country has the same opportunity- 1 person 1 vote. It’s a small price to ask for people to invest the time to register, present identification, cast a ballot, and that in response to that small price we should know our ballots should be counted securely and should not be cancelled by someone voting illegally in whatever form that takes.

The Georgia law expands opportunities to vote…17 days of early voting is too many in my opinion. I m old fashioned…paper ballots and Election Day are still the best idea. That horse has already left the barn and it’s not coming back…

I embrace America and all of its promise. It disgusts me that so many for political advantage have chosen to create racism that does not exist and to just simply lie about things like the Georgia law.

The BS leftists are trying to pull to remake this country in some Woke image is ridiculous…my opposition to that BS doesn’t make me a white nationalist Q kook who hates people of color…it makes me an American who is sick of the lies proud of the massive progress we’ve made who knows there are still pockets of narrow minded stupid people of all colors who truly are racists but who recognizes overall America as founded is a wonderful place populated by wonderful people. I m sick of being lectured by woke hypocrites lying about their motives when let’s face it in the end they are promoting nothing more than a power grab.

Sorry…

Go ahead tell me I’m a racist.

One of the best posts on this forum!

Having breast cancer awareness month is a privilege?

Ah. One of your daily stupid posts.

Carry on…

[Guvnah]

@PurpnGold

@WuWei

Mmmm. Is awareness month a group which excludes? Have to think on that.

It excluded people who don’t have breast cancer. It excludes brain cancer. It excludes testicular cancer.

Carry on…
