Yeah, it's easy. Exercise tolerance.. unless you are a white Christian male with a job, then you don't get to keep you earnings, you have to be guilty for things that happened before your great grandfather was born.. (and probably had NOTHING to do with)... and lastly, you don't get to exercise your faith in public. I could go on.

It made you laugh? I dunno, you seemed pretty angry about the hell white men in America have to go through.
We go through a lot. I wake up early, hit the gym, make it to work on time, perform my duties far above and beyond expectations, pay bills on time, maintain a great credit score, keep my house in immaculate condition, obey the law, help the economy by buying all kinds of sh!t I probably don't need.. I mean its tough.
Its so exhausting that sometimes I just get home and sit in my screened in pool and/or hot tub and watch netflix on the old 55" mounted above my kegerator.
Im not saying that white people are better. Im saying that being white is clearly better, who could even argue? If it was an option, I would re-up ever year. 'Oh yeah Ill take white again absolutely, Ive been enjoying that, Ill stick with white thank you.' Heres how great it is to be white, I could get in a time machine and go to any time, and it would be ****ing awesome when I get there! That is exclusively a white privilege. Black people cant **** with time machines. A black guy in a time machine is like 'Hey, anything before 1980, no thank you, I dont want to go.'

You know, I am finally beginning to understand what Guiliani and Fox News are so mad about.
If Obama would just call them "Islamic terrorists," then we would be winning.
What is the huge problem in calling a spade a spade?
They are Islamic extremists. And there is some harm in calling the groups what they are?
I've explained it before.
There is zero value to labeling them based on their religion. But we know what motivates them, which is pitting all Muslims against everybody else. Heck, its even pitting them against some other Muslims.
They want Obama and the West to label them by religion. They want the label, because that's what feeds their goal.
I know its tough, but we have to resist the urge to stereotype, to characterize with labels, that refer to a billion and a half people. As reassuring as that is -- and we see it here in this thread -- where people want to be able to know the enemy by the language they speak, by the clothes they wear, by their benign religious practices, that extremely unsophisticated approach to this problem serves no end.
