What do you think the first two letters of this website's name represent? What other people do in other countries has no bearing on the United States. And one of the weakest arguments you can make is pointing to others and saying "they did it too" or "they did worse".Also to your point just because something is new doesn’t make it good. There are terrible things going on in the modern era that in the past were rightfully condemned. Like this idea that a child can get a sex change operation. Or the idea that a white homeless person is privileged.
The point made by the poster I quoted was one of l trolling. For example, he talks about slavery, as if it was only a white man’s thing. The guy talks about segregation like it was only a white man’s thing. He’s talking about it from a Americans perspective. When those issues were all worldwide issues.
Also beating one’s wife is not a traditional thing to do. It’s a crime now and was then. Beating one’s wife in the 1950s was frowned upon and a man that did that was a disgrace. So the poster who brought that up is simply trolling and making things up.
Joe is not a troll and from I've seen is pretty knowledgeable of what he speaks. We don't agree all of the time but we do enough for me to have a general understanding of where he's coming from.
I'm not sure why you keep bringing up a white homeless guy in an attempt to prove that there is no such thing as white privilege when it has been explained to you, more than once, that being born into the white race doesn't shield you from the hardships of life but it does shield you from the laws and consequences, residual though they may be, crafted specifically to criminalize, oppress and diminish the lives of Black Americans.
