shailynnThey never tell you what you need to know.
I’m a big sports fan, but not much of an NBA fan, at least not since the days of MJ, Bird, and Reggie Miller
To be honest I had no idea who the Celtics coach was since Brad Stevens changed roles. Never even heard this name til yesterday

Those are words to live by. I’m with you 100%
But can’t we stop looking back and placing blame? Doesn’t that just create divisiveness? Let’s move forward for a better world like you describe that we both can agree on.

OK, so let’s pretend you are correct. How do we remedy the problem? The answer isn’t money. Throwing money at a problem doesn’t work. FDR, LBJ, the current admin has proven that.
Teaching CRT to first graders?
DEI Training? Did you see the recent story of what’s happening in the Air Force? They propose banning the use of “mom and dad”. What’s joke

This is what “white privilege looks like
When it comes to income, whites are also lagging behind some other ethnic groups. In 2016, white Americans had a median household income of $67,865, lower than Indonesian Americans ($71,616), Pakistani Americans ($72,389), Malaysian Americans ($72,443), Sri Lankan Americans ($73,856), Filipino Americans ($84,620), Taiwanese Americans ($90,1221) and Indian Americans ($110,026).

CJ Kent,
I’m willing to have a respectful dialog, but I 100% reject the notion of white privilege. Sure racism exists, that’s not even open for debate.
My maternal grandparents are both first generation German immigrants. Came to this country in the late 1800’s not knowing a word of English. My paternal grandmother was also German and came to America and married a Scots-Irish Appalachian hillbilly who could barely read and write.
Every grandchild grew up relatively poor and were first generation college students. Several became engineers and some became teachers. The military was a path to success for some. We all graduated college with zero student loan because we worked out butts off in hard factory jobs in the summer to pay for school, we didn’t tour Europe or other BS fun.
Don’t lecture me on white privilege - that’s a concept that only exists among liberals who don’t wanna work hard

You are not wrong. However, your constant rant of blaming systemic racism for all the troubles in the world grows wearisome.
Slavery was abolished more than 150 years ago. The Civil Rights Act was passed almost 60 years ago. When will the progressive left stop with the white guilt and AA stop with the “whoa is me” mindset.
How is it that some ethnic groups, let’s just pick Vietnamese for example, can come this country, not knowing the language, and within a few years of hard work and education become successful, productive citizens.
How can it be that “racist” America is still holding down US blacks yet people of all races that come to the US, with less advantages, manage to be successful.

gammanu95My casual drinking is your alcohol poisoning.
It’s been said Europeans owe Africa reparations for raping the continent of natural resources.
Fck that. Diamonds were in the ground for a billion years and the natives were too dumb to do anything. It only took a 15 year old European teenager to figure it out

My favorites were “good girl” types on the surface. But they all were pill poppers. I guess you never know. Sometimes I think because it’s a prescription drug, many folks think they’re safe.
I had some Vicodin after a root canal. I never had pain so never took any but happened to mention it to a dancer and she begged me to bring them to her the next week

It’s been more years that I care to count since I took my first Calculus class, but isn’t the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus based upon infinitesimal quantities? Which once certain assumptions were made, perhaps the most important concept in modern mathematics was invented

“It’s Another post giving Juice's (RIP) name got taken down too”
I found it contradictory that Juice’s post was deleted but when Alucard passed away several years ago, one member chose to post his full name and personal details and nothing happened.
I’m not standing up for Alucard - he was a weird ass dude with some odd takes on life, but it seems strange that news of the two deaths were handled differently. One way for a member that was “mostly” liked and one for a member “mostly” disliked

Maybe it’s just a Midwest thing, but here the dealers in the club have pills. Xanax, Adderall, Oxy
Seems a majority of the dancers are customers. That’s why it’s not obvious (rolling joints at the tables etc)

The BYU-Duke volleyball incident has been thoroughly investigated and proven to be a Jussie Smollett type hoax. The player’s godmother is racist activist running for judge who wanted to get her name in the news.
It’s a sad commentary on the media when CNN and The NY Times run with the story without any evidence and race baiter’s such as Dawn Staley, Lebron James and Don Lemon propagate the lies but never retract the story when proven to be a hoax

New motto for Martha’s Vineyard
“we support immigrants - with leaf blowers”

Yeah, I agree 100% about it being a publicity stunt. No doubt about it. It is a dick move.
Still, the bottom line is there are a bunch of rich folks who like to put on airs and “pretend” to be SJW, but when the rubber meets the road they are proving to be exactly like the conservatives they hate so much.
Among all those millionaires, who probably all own companies and have connections can’t put up a thousand dollars for a motel and help them find a job.
I bet many of those folks have attended $35,000 a plate Obama fundraisers so don’t tell me they can’t fork over a bit of their own cash to support a cause they claim to believe in

motorheadFat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I despise soccer, but I hear more and more stories of parents, including professional athletes, not allowing their kids to play football and pushing them toward football.
But the fighting - both fans and players - is the issue that seems to be getting out of control

The Midwest county is grew up was mostly white, conservative and Republican. Just the type of place Icee and the east coast liberals would call racist.
Yet over the last 10 years or so, the county has quietly absorbed approximately 35,000 immigrants. Mostly all undocumented from Mexico and Central America. The school system is now 50% Hispanic.
I think it’s beyond hypocritical that Martha’s Vineyard, a self described sanctuary city, can’t accept a mere 50 immigrants when the conservative Republican county i described absorbed 35,000 with very little pushback. Sometimes the Democrats really need to examine their collective conscience who the real racists are.

Who’s really being racist? I’d nominate the residents of Martha’s Vineyard. They are progressives SJW in name only. When it hits too close to home, it’s a loud bitch fest of “not in my neighborhood”

No surprise, but liberal hypocrisy is on full display in Martha’s Vineyard. All over town, there are signs that read
“We stand with immigrants... all are welcome here”
Until someone actually takes them up on the offer, then the Karen’s are on full display. “They can’t come here? We don’t have jobs! We don’t have housing!”

Chicks on Dix was the name of an actual club located at 403 S Dix Street in Detroit. It’s now closed.
Even the 7-figure salary wunderkind at McCann couldn’t have come up with a better name
