Progressive Democrat Hatred this 4th of July

@DMK

How much emphasis do you think should be placed on slavery over all of the other factors that formed this country?

I answered your question above.

You didn’t answer mine.

@tnt

You should come with me to the inner city trenton community group my family is involved with, look these kids in the eye and tell them they have equal opportunities.

It’s simply not true yet.

So, you are there to encourage them that they don’t?

Why don’t they?

What should be taught is there are equal opportunities, not equal outcomes.

Argumentum ad misericordiam (argument or appeal to pity).

Define your terms: opportunity to what?

Because great great grand daddy was a slave?

Or because of the choices mama and daddy made?

What does industrialization require to get it off the ground?

@tnt

You didn’t answer mine.

Remind me what your question is?

@FloridaYankee

All of humanity, you included.

The word society includes all humanity? LOL

Society: an organized group of people associated for some specific purpose or on account of some common interest:

How about this one? New England Society of New York. Does that include all humanity.

And now this argument arrives at the point when conservatives fall back on moralizing power and wealth accumulation as a matter of personal codes.

Because, despite resting their silly straw hats on the formula ‘power is bad’, they have no answer for the structures of power, and how wealth replicates them.

You misinterpreted what I was saying. All of humanity bases their each and every action on feelings. No exceptions, you included.

It is a choice.

The word ‘water’ applies to all hydrogen dioxide in the cosmos and a to a single cup of water.

It’s not either/or - kind of like ‘society’.

None of which have any bearing on my ability to “accumulate wealth and power” in this country.

You may have feelings about something but reality overrides feelings.

How much control did you have over when where and to whom you were born?

There are so many reasons…but I really don’t want to go into great detail about these folks here. I’ve learned not to share real life experiences on this forum.

I’ll just say, the program is filled with kids who suffer from broken homes, drug addiction in the families, low employment opportunities, terrible education and malnutrition.

It does have bearing, however.

Even on you.

Your actions, sheesh. How many times do I have to say it. Every action you make is based on how it makes you feel. No exceptions.

And this changes what FloridaYankee said…how?

No doubt. That is where the crux of the matter lies as well as the solution.

They still have the same opportunities that I had in public school.

Equal opportunities.
