Golf is a game not a sport, correct. There is no defense and the etiquette is annoying. I suck at it but its because I won't waste time playing it to learn it more. I broke a 100 once and was super lucky. I can hit it off the tee but the short game blows.Fair points... I brought up golf exactly for the reasons you laid out. You are wrong though it is an amazing game... But it is expensive and it takes a lot of time and this largely why it is dominated by whites. Tiger woods is perhaps the best golfer ever and he is Black. Most other major sports in this country are dominated by Blacks but those are sports that they can play in their neighborhoods, that don't require expensive equipment, polo shirts, and the kind of expenses that golf and other sports require. It is an example of how money and power effect social standing, access, and opportunity.#1) I hate Golf. Best ever golfer = Tiger Woods. I guess? I do not watch Golf. It is a VERY expensive sport. I would state that very few white players if any come from a working class family background. It is a game for the wealthy just like polo.Do you think the sport of Golf is dominated by whites because whites are inherently better at the game or because of another reason? I'll save the back and forth and assume we both know that money and social class play a large roll in it. This is a better example of how privilege plays into our society. Elements of our society that require money or higher education are largely dominated by whites. While laws have been put in place to try and eliminate the system oppression that was quite literally in our nations laws from its inception till the 1960's you have to be able to recognize that things don't all just change. with the signing of legislation. Right?I view the term as this way. When we play basketball and someone sprains an ankle and cannot move as well do I have two leg privilege? No, he has one leg disadvantage. We are all born with advantages and disadvantages in life. The only true privilege in America is economic privilege. As I always tell my kids, this country is not systemically racist and they don't have white privilege. There is nothing that a black young person cannot legally do in this country that they can.That's what the term "white privilege" means, asshole. It means you should feel guilty simply because you are white. Otherwise, why use it?No you are not guilty of a crime for being white. Just guilty of being a dumbshit but thats because of your posts here on the board.The term "white privilege" is intended to imply that I'm guilty of some kind of crime simply because I'm white.I don't like the term white privilege, I see it as inflammatory. Do you really not understand what it is referring to? No it hasn't been gone for well over 100 years. Civil Rights act was in the 60's. The effect of centuries of oppression doesn't just magically go away when a new law is passedSo "white privilege" is something that has been gone for well over 100 years.
Take your "white privilege" and stick it where the sun don't shine. The entire south suffers to this day from the crimes committed during the Civil War. You don't see anyone blubbering about "Yankee privilege," now do you?
Not only do you accuse white people of having committed a crime of some kind, you deny that you are accusing them of it.
Why should anyone give a fuck about "white privilege" if it doesn't mean white people are guilty of something that they need to make amends for?
#2) 6% of the US population consists of black males but they represent 85% of the NBA and 70% of the NFL, respectively. Some people are just better at sports than others. There are more Jewish NFL owners than players. We all have our core competencies I guess? But statistics can also be misleading.
#3) The primary reason for black disadvantage is the single family unit. In the 60s only 20% of Black Families had one parent, today it is 75%. We are not more racist today than we were in the 60s, I don't think so anyway but Gov't programs and such have festered to create this dynamic. In fact a black child with two parents is more likely to be successful than a white child with one parent. This is why Jews and Asians are the most successful, lowest number of single family homes. Close knit family structures.
#4) We have racist people in America and the world but blacks are the most affluent in America. This is the best place for black and white folks IMO but especially for black folks. Europe is dangerously racist.
#5) I believe if we treated everyone equally and not provide special programs for blacks, Hispanics, women, Asians, etc., we would all be better off. I am a Jew and I do not want any programs to help specifically Jews. I would find that abominable. Just treat everyone fairly. I believe capitalism does that as best it can. Notice how many no longer consider Asians to be minorities and even Harvard is turning them away because of the level of wealth and prosperity they achieved in America...wealthiest class.
no not doesn't. You hear what you want to hear and ignore the real things that I say. You're game is obvious and you’re not playing it very well. Trolling is lazy and easy. See how you do with honest debate. I don’t think you would fair too well.Enough with the lies man, you are taking too much liberty and I'm reaching my BS saturation point. Im not here to keep correcting your lies and mischaracterizations of things I stand for. I don't hold forth that America is the worst nation in history, thats horseshit. I think America is an amazing country and I am so lucky to have been born here and have the ability to be part of such an incredible nation. Piss off if you're going to keep trying to define me. Tell me I'm a Nazi and hate America. Seriously, fuck off.
EVERYTHING you post supports my contentions.
Blacks are better athletes. Same for former Yugoslavians. No idea why. Their genetic makeup perhaps?
