Interesting video explaining "privilege"

[MarAzul]

Gee, I guess Affirmative Action hasn't permeated Hollywood Award Committees yet.

That would explain why no minorities got nominated this year or awards they didn't earn on merit.

As for Spike Lee, he makes movies glorifying violent criminals that ridicule and/or blame caucasians for just about everything under the sun. For me, that's not entertaining nor though-provoking. It's just a cheap shot.

Golly, it seems you have watched more than me! I get disgusted quickly.

I had to look that up.


coonery
Acting in such a manner as to perpetuate black stereotypes in society such as music videos solely about cars, money and women.
P Diddy, Soulja Boy, Most of hip-hop in general, Flava Flav...all examples of coonery

First of all I doubt I can ever use this word without trouble. Secondly, what's wrong with Flav?

Not sure, I love Flav and Public Enemy.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Nothing of substance from any one of them yet.

PS I think you are lost, can't give a cogent answer. Whine much is all there is.

My wife used to work for a large corporation. The only reason they care about fairness in hiring and workplace fairness is so they don't get sued.

One of her equals would not schedule more than 2 black women to work at the same time. Nobody cared.

It's anecdotal for sure, but you don't think these things happen over and over on small levels every day?

Luckily she now works for a franchise owner that is about as fair as they come. These people she works for do everything they can to make sure everyone is treated equally.

The problem with the world is that things might be done that they aren't aware of. Who would know if some manager scheduled a black girl to work an extra weekend here and there just because?

Who knows why a cabbie skips a black guy? I've got some ideas but how do you prove something like that?

I do believe that we can go too far to try to be fair. An Asian kid shouldn't be penalized for being Asian, that's just bullshit.

I like Flav too but Chuck D is the reason I love Public Enemy. I saw Flav playing drums with the UNLV band at a basketball game a few years ago and it was awesome.

Wait a minute, MarAzul IS a ship's captain. Uh oh, getting bruised on a cruise.

And to be blunt bodyman. But what has this to do with White Privilege? I mean the specific word Privilege??

 

[MarAzul]

Nope! Those guys won't be negotiating any joint ventures. Hell, I can't begin to understand what the fuck they are going on about.

Why are you hung up on this?

There isn't a stamp on your driver's license that gets us shit. There isn't a government white privilege bureau that keeps track of how many times I get bumped to first class on a flight.

It just is. White people have advantages. The time is fast approaching when white people won't be the majority so it will eventually end.

Great song!

This is one of my favs by Flav...

Yeah that is a really good one. Up there with my favorites.

I hate almost all rap but I love Public Enemy. I don't know what to say, I don't connect with 75 percent of what they talk about but I feel it somehow. It's weird. I guess it is just so genuine that I can't deny it.

When they list off a bunch of heroes that won't appear on no stamps I'm like WHO???

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I'm pissed I never made it to Flavor Flave's House of Flavor before it closed.

 

[dviss1]

Nothing. Flav played his role perfectly. He was supposed to portray America's stereotype of the average black man. Now he's just doing it to keep the bills paid.

 

[dviss1]

Really? Well what do you think it really was? I suppose the letter could be some bull shit cover story.

So it's a conspiracy as to why your daughter wasn't accepted into Stanford because of black people and affirmative action (i.e. black privilege)?

Like judge Judy says: If it doesn't make sense it's not true.

Typical response from you though...

I bet you can't stand Richard Sherman.

Is that true? I honestly can't say what I thought of the average black man before I knew who he was. The first rap I knew of was Run DMC when I was about 10 years old.

We only had 2 black kids in our school so I probably had no idea.

Marazul when he noticed we were posting rap vids in this thread...

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

What is that supposed to be?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What is that supposed to be?

Cucumber.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Cucumber.

Explain the whole thing.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Explain the whole thing.

Cat thinks the cucumber is a snake.

I don't know why.

I don't know why either but apparently it's pretty common..



I have yet to try it with my cat.

Holy shit! Look at that vertical. Can we draft him to replace Blaze?

PE was one of the most socially conscious rap groups ever. I mean, their name was Public Enemy.

I know that, I wanted to know if they really meant for him to be a character because of that.

8.1/10 stars on IMDB

F. Gary Gray did a phenomenal job directing.

Have you seen the movie?

Have you seen the movie?

I haven't been going to see movies in the theaters lately.

What does that have to do with whether it's qualified to be considered for a best movie Oscar?

 

[MarAzul]

Why are you hung up on this?

Because, I am surprise to see you young guys put up with this complete bull shit. It is a misuse of the word, and it was just recently conjured up. You notice, dviss doesn't even think people would notice the bull shit. He can't explain what he really means and won't even believe it affected my daughter. She was turned down at Stanford to allow them to achieve their "diversity" goals. Not sure why he won't believe it, it has to be obvious someone is going to suffer the consequences of skewing the selection criterion. Otherwise there is no point in doing so.

The time is fast approaching when white people won't be the majority so it will eventually end.

You are part of a significant majority now, what the hell you guys going to do, march off to the ovens? Perhaps some bright fellow will get to work on just how many should be living here. I think they would find we are damn close to max already. You can't make a living on the unused land that remains you know. On one hand the liberal will wail about climate change, but at the same time, clamor for open boarders! Hell man, it makes no sense at all to permit your nation to become (over) populated with more people than you can feed.
You (white) should not become a minority, if you go along with this prophecy, your nation is totally out of control and will not be able to sustain it's people.

IMDB rating has nothing to do with whether it's qualified to be a Best Picture nominee.
