The Privilege of Play: Why the world’s game is a white game in the U.S.

Fixed it for you.

You're welcome.

Yep. Biden pays taxes. What a fool.

Because the alternative is a marxist revolution on this country. Sorry, but you’re not a special little snowflake who deserves a basic income and everything handed to you on a silver platter. There is no systemic racism and white people aren’t the enemy. There is no such thing as white privilege, just as there is no such thing as asian privelege, even though asians score higher on standardized tests and have higher average incomes. You’re entire platform on the left is a fraud. That’s why we choose to ignore Trump’s foibles and vote Republican.

Totally false and dangerous narrative. If you can't acknowledge systemic racism then you know nothing about it. A blanket denial sure is a convenient tactic. We've had more than a few Dem Presidents over the years. None of them resulted in socialism, at least in the way you paint it. Companies thrived and the stock market thrived under Obama/Biden. Now, as for fascism and autocracy, let's talk about that.

Thanks for coming back, though, GED/Comma/old codger/Bell Curve devotee.

Systemic Racism is developed and supported by the democrat party!!!! It has been this way since the 60s!!!!!

The democrats support breaking up the black household by providing incentives for single black mothers!!!!! Helping force black fathers out of the home!!!!! Children growing up without their fathers supported by the liberal agenda is SYSTEMIC RACISM!!!!

Democrats support classifying the citizens as black/white/ect!!!! and pull the race card in every opportunity they get!!!! this is also SYSTEMIC RACISM!!!!

You can thank the democrat party for having to classify your self as blk, wht, hispanic, ect anytime you apply for a drivers license and/or any other goverment form (does it really matter?) this is also SYSTEMIC RACISM!!!! designed to appeal to and control the masses!!!

The typical everyday person who supports the democrat party is to stupid and blind to acknowledge the big fat elephant in the room!!!!

Translation: Let’s not talk about the narrative I don’t like. Let’s talk about the narrative that fits my world view.

Please stop with the absurd and repeated references to socialism. We have elections....or at least we have, including AOC, Bernie, etc. They pay taxes. They adhere to election results. They support freedom and human rights for every single American, even you deplorables.

Election sure, but I’d like to see any future elected official take away any handouts passed through by the next democratic led administration. It is very difficult to put the cat back into the bag.

If you are not concerned about this then you are not paying attention to policies and only focusing on personalities. Do I wish our current president had more tact, yes. However his policies are good ones despite his personality flaws.

You are right. A blanket denial of racism is foolish. As a white person, I fully acknowledge that there are some prejudices and scenarios that I will not live through. However, it is also foolish to blanket vilify white people and to drop the word racist so quickly. It halts all debate and makes the 'racist' feel as if they are not being heard or are simply being dismissed for being white. Trumps election was a direct result of that tactic over the previous 8 years. Yes I see the paradox of that statement in how black people must feel basically all of the time. What Im saying is that you do not solve one problem by creating another.

To your other points: past democrats do not resemble todays democrats. At no point in history have we had a truly and openly socialist group of representatives like the 'squad'. Their momentum and influence on the Dem party is worrisome.

Obama/Biden stock market was not a boon. There was a huge rebound in 09 from the depths of the financial collapse but that was about it, and had little to do with their policies. Don't forget what caused the financial collapse: the inevitable conclusion to a series of Clinton era National Homeownership Strategy initiatives.

Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

Marxism: a political and economic theory where a society has no classes. Every person within the society works for a common good, and class struggle is theoretically gone.

Fascism: a political philosophy that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition


Sorry hoss, Trump and the right are not fascist by the definition above. However the mainstream Democrat platform is socialist and the far-left, the Bernie Sanders and AOC's of your party, as well as BLM and ANTIFA are Marxist. Your party has polarized to the far left, and even the most moderate of Democrats are now socialists.

Your party has a credibility problem. We aren't a racist nation, but the left can't help but use that dog whistle. Here are five black fortune 500 CEO's:

Marvin Ellison at home-improvement retailer Lowe's, Kenneth Frazier at pharmaceuticals maker Merck, Roger Ferguson at financial services company TIAA, René Jones at M&T Bank and Jide Zeitlin at Tapestry.

Anyone who can say with a straight face that there is systemic racism in a country who just had eight years of a black president and has black CEO's in some of the largest corporations in the country needs their head examined.

Keep blaming white people for the ills of the poor black community. And The Bell Curve wasn't wrong, it just didn't tell the message you wanted to here, even though the message was backed up by data. In this country, if you are smart and talented, you have a very good chance of succeeding, regardless of your ethnicity. Too bad the left has divided the country and can't see that.

Had little to do with their policies? Son you need a few history lessons.

Now Biden is going to have to spend his first few years cleaning the phuked up economy Trump will leave behind. That's what Dems do, cealn up the GOP messes. BTW we have historically done better under Democratic presidents than Republican ones. Job growth is stronger also. The GOP claims to be the party of fiscal responsibility and economic growth, but turns out, not so much

Thanks for attempting to answer at least.

For better or worse, the majority of Dems now are very similar to the majority of Dems in recent decades. Both parties have had members from very moderate to the far end. Biden is no different than when Graham and many other Reps endorsed him as a great senator with character and integrity.

The '08 collapse? That's on Clinton? Wasn't Bush in the last year of 8 years???And the market did go up in a very healthy manner all of of the Obama years.

Your fascism definition sounds just like Trump. And naming some wealthy black folks is a pretty poor excuse for addressing systemic racism. You apparently know nothing about implicit bias and the like....and the role of unconscious 'othering.' It's not an occasional thing. It's not your individual fault. It's deeply sedimented in the culture. And it is operative every day. Put otherwise equal white and black persons together and the blacks will be considered more dangerous, get tougher sentences, and be placed in more restrictive settings than white peers. Blacks are multiple times more likely to be pulled over, including those who not are criminals in any way (or by any of your definitions). You're a stooge who is convinced he's knowledgeable.....one of the most dangerous types. And dividing the country??? You CANNOT be serious.

Why does Trump struggle so much to denounce white supremacists?

Why does Trump struggle so much to denounce white supremacists?

He was asked specifically about the Proud Boys. They are far-right, but not white supremicists, in the same vein as the KKK are. Again, it’s a dog whistle of the left to name everything on the right racist and white supremicist. Just isn’t true.
