You do need to be eternally grateful to us and never forget what we did for you.Not every white kid has the same racket. We had a lot of spoiled kids where I moved after I left Detroit. Their parents had a lot more than my parents. Today my brother is a vp after getting a masters at Michigan state. A lot of those spoiled kids didn’t do as well. Didn’t even go to college.You missed the same resource part. If I have the same resources I can afford to send my kid to the same college as your kid.The metaphor does apply. Claiming that it doesnt wont change the fact that it does. Its pretty simple. Same resources, Same rules equals level playing field.Yes. I was pointing out how the metaphor doesn't apply. Because life is not entertainment. Which is what you missed I guess.
What about this though? Ok so we give your kid and my kid the same education. Now it's time to send our kids off to college. I can afford to send my kid to University of Michigan and you can't. What do you suggest be done?
So if I can afford a better tennis racket than you can, I'm sorry that I show up to the tennis match with my good racket and you are using that old piece of crap.
On a truly level playing field I have the same racket you do. Now you may have more training time but we cant do much about that.
I grew up in the same home and I didn’t do that well. Why? I had all the same opportunities and an even playing field with my brother.
I’ll tell you one thing. We don’t think we would have turned out this well had we stayed in Detroit. My advice to people in poor neighborhoods is to get out.
I guess that means every family is responsible for their kids outcomes. My brother doesn’t care if his kids become plumbers or electricians as long as they are happy. Don’t worry about the disadvantages your family faces. I know that’s easy for me to say but we didn’t let the fact our friends parents made more than us hold us back from being successful.
But one day one of my nephews is going to work for a black ceo. Thank us liberals for that. If it were up to republicans the only blacks on the board are tokens who toe the party line like Herman Cain and Ben carson
And this is the problem we blacks have with you liberals. You are no different than republicans in the fact that you think we need to be eternally grateful to you. And when you do hire a black person or person of color hey have toe the party line just like black republicans. Ask Obama.
Guys like Hugh Hefner and frank Sinatra hired blacks and told hotels to fuck off if they tried to tell the black entertainers they couldn’t stay at the same hotel frank was staying at.
Frank wasn’t perfect. I’m not perfect. I can still be a bigot and prejudice just like everybody else but I do two things.
1. I encourage diversity and an even playing field.
2. I understand how white america treats blacks like second class citizens and we put poor black communities in the holes they are in. And I support policies that bring economic opportunities to those impoverished communities.
So yes you should be eternally grateful. We outnumber your ass. You should thank the lord for liberals like me. No, just thank me. Lol
