Harvard graduation

You know who else thought this was a good idea? The Ku Klux Klan. What a dumb idea, and the worst part is, we're seeing more of this stuff.
The best part is it says, "Black students only make up 14% of the students...." well they only make up around 13-14% of the population so that's right on what it should be. Look at the percentage of eastern Kentuckians that make up Harvard, it's probably about right for the country as well.
This stuff is what furthers the divide, not decrease it.

Where the hell are the administrators? Are there no rational adults around to supervise this narcissism?
Maybe. Or maybe they're pussies who are worried to lose their jobs.
Who knows.
But whatever anyone's idea of progressive is, it ain't that.
I'm whatever on the ceremony.
Not sure about the 'struggle' that any Harvard graduate students had to go through, though. I'm sure they all really pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps ....

Boston is1000% racist. Harvard is 1000000% more elite racist. I'm sure everybody wants this. And the south gets a bad rap. SMDAB, yanks.
Feels like we're heading to a second civil rights movement or something, just feel like the black vs. white thing has ratcheted up a lot over the last ten years. Is it the age of social media and everything being filmed on the internet that's exposing that we are still a little racist (and some are a lot racist) and the whole "everyone is equal now" thing was actually all ******** in the first place or what? Its just weird, I don't get it.
The administrators are the useful idiot boomers who grew up and were educated by their Marxist professors 40 years ago.
McCarthy is proven more right every passing year.
Nah, right now the most vocal minority to crash the party of oppressed are the transgender folks. All 85 of them can march up Pennsylvania Ave and they'd still need to use the blue port a potty on the left.
It's over. We need grown ups from Western movies running the show. No more crying (looking at you Chuck Schumer).

I'm blue-eyed whitey with a law degree and people are ******** to me too and try to take advantage of me basically every hour.
Do I have it better than some random minority? I guess. I don't know.
Would I succeed if my skin tone was different? Probably.
There is a discussion to be had here but the superficial **** is especially superficial in this regard.
I do believe that there is something to the "everyone is equal now" ethos.
I grew up an immigrant here (I was 6 when we moved to the States). Were we treated differently? Yeah, we were, but not significantly different, just different. I'm all grown up and married to a blonde american girl now and I am definitely treated differently than when I was younger or how my parents were treated (but its also important to note that I don't look foreign and none of you would know I was foreign unless I told you), but again it wasn't significant. And me and my siblings all have great jobs now because we weren't limited in what we could get as we had tons of opportunities in america.
So its easy for me to say based on my experiences that "as long as you work hard you can do anything you want in America!" But then you start seeing all these cop videos every 5 minutes of a black guy getting shot, read these stories about the recent re-segregation of schools in america, see all these neo-nazi communities emerging online and you start to wonder if you are just living in a bubble and that we are still a long *** way from everyone having the same opportunities. I dunno, just feel like its hard to avoid nowadays.
They canned a duke professor of divinity for advising against going to some race workshop. My guess is all he said was true enough it hurt some feelings. Frankly, and more than anything else about it, I'm bored with it. I get every angle. I've taken damn near every position on it at some point. I do think cops need more accountability but I don't even see that as racial. I don't know. Every revolution eats itself. This one has run out of utility and is creating problems where there aren't any to justify its continued existence and raise money.

Could you be a little less vague about how you were treated different? And where are all these black guys getting shot by cops every 5 minutes. I must be watching the wrong news.
Just on the internet. There's literally a new video posted everyday, I'm not out seeking them or anything, but if you were you could. Just treated differently. You know, people would be more cold and rude. When you're out a restaurant the servers and people taking your order being dismissive, people giving you weird looks when you speak in another language, not being invited to certain things. You know when you're in a room and there are maybe a group of people talking about you and making fun of you? You can sense it but its all behind your back but not really? Like that. Not all the time, but a good bit of it. It wasn't that big of a deal, but definitely different.
In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary... come again?
I'm gonna need some linkage on that, please. "ALL" of them, thanks.
As for your ethnicity, I;m going all-in on a shot in the dark on Mexican. Just a ******* hunch.
So, you're ill b/c you chose to be a stranger in a strange land? Yet, you suffer the setbacks b/c it beats the piss out of your home country?
Count your blessings, *******. Door is always open.
I'm ill? Did you read anything I posted? Seriously? Who the hell is ill (is that mad)? I couldn't be happier, what the hell are you talking about? Good lord. Enjoy your discussion guys. [eyeroll]
The sad story about how everyone in my family is successful and how I'm married and happy now and treated great by everyone around me?
All I said was I wonder sometimes if thinks aren't as great as I perceive them to be based on my experiences when I read things like this. Why don't you actually read what I write if you want to talk to me instead of getting all sensitive and getting offended and flying off the handle emotionally.

Did you type this? Sorry, I just grow tired of you indignant ***** feigning progression while pointing fingers.
What is the problem with that exactly? A poster literally asked me to explain how I was treated differently, so I did. I'm not mad about it and never indicated I was mad or held a grudge. What exactly are you mad at? Seriously, I'm completely lost, what is the issue again? Are you mad at me? Why?
Dude, between the belittling of Americans for doing what every country in the world does to Americans in their own countries - while you took advantage of what that country had to offer, the blatantly false accusations of daily police-on-black murders on the internets and the non-existent Neo-Nazi movement in the US that you alluded to... I generally decided I just didn't like you. Took about 3 posts.

Hankshanker was telling his background and his story. Since I am a random minor minority figured I'd tell him mine. This was what I told him when I "belittled americans":
"I grew up an immigrant here (I was 6 when we moved to the States). Were we treated differently? Yeah, we were, but not significantly different, just different"
Man, I can see why you got so offended there, phew, I had some pretty harsh words for America there!! [eyeroll]
Anyway, that's fine if you don't like me, I have literally no emotions or feeling for you whatsoever.

I guess that is case and point. I have literally no concern what color you are but I guarantee that I would not be treated the same way you were above, so that sucks.
The response is the issue. People are dicks. What to do about it?
The only rational thing I know is to ignore people being dicks, succeed by objective standards, and do not react to ********.
Seems like you have that down pat. Well done, friend.
I just want to get to the Martin Luther King ideal of every man is accountable for his own deeds, regardless of color.
There is a weird pervesity in this current fashion that liberals are trying to create racism that simply isn't there. Bizarre. Why? That infeebables the weak-minded, which may (disgustingly) be the point.
My motto is you're whatever color. I'm white. Who gives a ****? Let's do business.
