Week 4 - Bills at Ravens Game Week Thread
JaCrispy replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Our interior D line is going to have to win up front, if the Bills are gonna have any chance… If our guys are getting blown off the ball, Baltimore will have its way with us… -
Perhaps…I agree that it is less about race…However, as difficult as it may be, people have to fight against being kept down by their socioeconomic status, especially if they want a better life… And it is not like it can’t happen- people do it all the time…My family is a great example… But it’s a mentality…And not everyone is wired to be a “fighter”. So those people have to either work harder at bettering their situation, or settle for substandard living…And, it’s also important to note that some people are ok with settling, especially if it’s all they’ve ever known… I also think poor people coming from other countries have a different mentality than poor people born here… For example, most Asians who come here start out dirt poor…Within a generation, their kids have started assimilating, and their strong cultural values propel them to success in this country… But I agree with you that the topic is very nuanced, with many layers… I would love to recommend a book for you I think you might find intriguing… It’s called Black Rednecks & White Liberals by Thomas Sowell…You will read about stuff in this book that they don’t teach in schools…You seem like someone who would appreciate this …👍

Asian cultures promote stronger study and work ethics, and limit television watching… I’ve heard of studies done, showing that they dedicate many more hours a day studying than other ethnicities…This is why, growing up, they always seemed to be the best students in class… Also, among Asian cultures, more kids are born into two parent households, than other cultures, which, studies have shown, give you a better chance at success in adulthood… It both categories, blacks ranked last, while whites were somewhere in the middle, among other ethnicities…

Well, you didn’t highlight any part of my post, so I’m not entirely sure what you’re referring to… Second of all, as I have stated several times on this message board, in the past, myself, along with a majority of my family are black, so I’m not sure why I would refer to black people as “others”… However, just because I am black, it does not prevent me from criticizing certain segments of black culture that I feel impede progress… But I think I was pretty clear in my post, that I referencing several different ethnicities and cultures… Your response was somewhat vague…So if I’m missing something, please feel free to elaborate…👍

I think we can agree that no one ethnic group will have the same outcome as another- just like no individual American citizen, regardless of race, will have the same economic outcome… Given that premise, disparities among different ethnic groups does not inherently point to systemic racism…Sure, racism may be a small factor…But there are numerous other factors that contribute to these statistics, much more than race (Race is just the easiest, and most physically visible thing to point to.) However, among different ethnic groups, you have different cultures, and different things that these groups value… Furthermore, not everyone desires the same outcome as other individuals…Some people enjoy spending money on traveling…Some enjoy spending money on fashion…Others enjoy investing in the stock market…Some cultures encourage intense study and work habits, while others may not…Certain cultures encourage stronger family values than others…All of these things will lead to different outcomes of wealth, over time…👍

I don’t see that as “institutional” racism… I see that as individual racism…And once those racist judges or prosecutors retire, there is the opportunity for non racist individuals to fill those vacancies…That does not equate to institutional racism… IMO, if it were institutional, the racism would be “baked in” and it wouldn’t matter if the racist judge retired or not, because each judge that followed would be “required” to be racist, which they are not… It seems you might be confusing racist individuals in positions of power, with “systemec/institutional racism” that is baked in…👍 No matter what country you live in, you are never going to fully stop individuals from being racist…I

Does anybody else prefer to watch Bills games alone?
JaCrispy replied to ChronicAndKnuckles's topic in The Stadium Wall
I prefer watching with others, unless I know, before hand, that those people will be obnoxious, and start mocking me if the Bills are performing poorly…Those are not enjoyable experiences…👍 -
The confusion seems to stem from different racial “cultures” producing different economic outcomes..👍 The Left will call this “systemic racism”, yet there is is no law on the boooks, specifically targeting black people, that they can point to… Simply put, some cultures teach a strong work ethic, study habits, and avoiding criminality more than other cultures…And often times, people from other countries come here worse off than blacks already here… Like the great Morgan Freeman once said, always crying “racism” is just an excuse why not to try…It’s much easier blaming others, and demanding they give you things instead of working for it…👍

The Democrat Party is an extremist organization… Even far Left Europe doesn’t allow for transgender treatment for minors… That should tell you all you need to know…👍 Just to give you an idea- todays Republican Party would be considered liberal by 1990’s standards, as they are ok with gay marriage and transgender treatments for adults…The 1990’s Democrat Party was not…👍

Huh? Who said you needed to borrow money to cut taxes… Just allow people to keep more of the money they have earned, through their labor, and then cut spending…👍
