White Privilege Has Not Been a Thing for 40 Years

If you want to help me refine my argument, I might accept the refinement. I am not saying an American citizen should or should not. I am saying, if things are as bad as the people who oppose my view seem to think, and the way they talk about it, systemic racism, or sometimes I heard genocide, or non ending prosecution, whatever term you want to use, if things are that bad in America, then they have no rational choice but to leave. You can only change things when they are relatively OK. When they are as bad as Nazi Germany, no, you don't change. If you are gay, or a Jew or a Slav, you should probably leave and very quickly. If you don't, then it's on you. If you disagree with the comparison, all you are saying to me, is that the situation is not as bad as all that. You cannot have it both ways. Either it is as horrible as you observe it to be, or BLM does, to be precise. Or if it's not quite that bad, maybe you should admit to that, and be a wittle greatful for the real privilege you have, that others do not.

Sanctimonious, because I mean what I say, and had to do it myself? No, it is the voice of a personal experience. I am not at all surprised that you are unable to appreciate that. Exceptions that are singular, are weak. Exceptions that represent a workable principle and defy the proposed rule, are just examples. Beyonce is not alone. Do you seriously doubt there are thousands of successful Black Men, or millions? No they represent the potential, of having a talent, using it, overcoming the difficulties. I am not so sure you are familiar with the concept, but rest assured, you are not alone, not in this subreddit, not on social media. You acquire those qualities through the work of self improvement, and therapy. You work psychologically to change yourself. You don't expect somebody to change for you instead and make your life easier. That is not how it works, but I am sure you might have a big problem with that too. I do actually know that, you are assuming that I do not, because you lack the necessary psychological background. I am assuming that based on your words. By abilities, I mean everything, Everything that allows them to apply themselves. Everything that allows them to overcome their situation. I am not assuming they are incapable. No, I am saying that they are more capable than they know, but they need to believe that. The idea that white privilege is real and is going to stop them is self defeating. It prevents them from taking responsibility over their lives. Unlike you, my opinion is not religious, where nothing would ever get through, but is based on pure observation.

I did not mean to be a martyr. To me, I was just stating a fact, that I see you guys viciously downvoting me. In the recent past, because of such downvotes, I have been banned from reddit. I am not sad about it, or mad, I just see it now as a distinct possibly. How ironic that you would be pointing it out, while so staunchily defending the need of a whole nation to be martyred. Mirror reflection. I am not even hopeful that you are familiar with this term. I thought only yesterday reddit users had higher intelligence. I have found myself to be wrong. Could you be the exception? Doesn't seem like it. Sometimes the argument is only as weak or strong as people who are able to understand it. Maybe if you had less religious like convictions about social justice? Rhethorical.
