Global Progressive movement

Never seen the show no and I never said or implied what you're asserting I did... the point I'm making is that for all the complaining that's being done about this you'd think there'd be some kind of negative effects on their lives... are they losing business? Are employment opportunities being taken away from them? Is there some kind of negative effect on their lives because of this supposed discrimination?

To me from everything they talk about, which I readily admit doesn't encompass the entirety of their experiences, seems more to do with they don't like being called names... you're not going to stop that any time soon but that's common among any person of any race can lot or creed... is there any negative effect on their life other than their feelings being hurt or just angry that they don't hear the things they want to?

most of the time when people are really being affected by it people doing aren't that overt anymore... I had an epl claim come in the other day where the company was found liable because they found emails where the head of hr stated to his employees that they weren't to hire any blacks women or Jews... I'm not saying this is the standard as it's just one example but this is the type of discrimination I'm talking about... ones that effect people's livelyhoods.... not people whining about being called racist...

This trumps of discrimination is not limited to minorities alone but it does disproportionately affect them...

Another thing I wonder about often enough is all these people claims my they've been called a racist... do they actually direct it towards you or do you take it personally as a general taunt towards conservatives or republicans? I've live my whole life as a white man and haven't ever been called a racist not have I been referred to as the things some of you claim you are... I'm not saying it doesn't happen but what am I doing differently..

Richard Spencer: calls for the "peaceful ethnic cleansing" of the United States, leads a Nazi salute in response to Trump's win, runs articles on his website entitled "Is Black Genocide Right?

If you can't defend his right to say what he wants then you're the just as dangerous as he is.

Have you ever been told you're privileged? That's someone telling you you're opinion doesn't count (probably because you're either white, male, or hetero.

So...

Russia broke the ceasefire in Ukraine. And now Trump is in a quite uncomfortable position: he just said he wanted to lift sanctions, but these actions instead call for more of those.

Do you think Putin is testing him?
And most importantly: what happens if he sticks with the stance of no sanctions?

Honestly just look to Congress for leadership when it comes to foreign policy

I won't defend someone who doesn't even respect my right to exist!! Sorry!! :\

That's someone telling you to change your perspective.

Idk man, after he basically told the australian pm that he sucks on the phone and cut the call I get a little worried to how he's going to deal with less friendly people.

It is all going to boil down to one of these dumbasses attacking a concealed carrier and ending up dead. I tell you what attack me on the street and see what happens. Better kill me cause if I get my gun out your gonna have a bad day.

No. That's not what it means at all.

That's you playing a victim.

Mr. Spencer said he was worried about being attacked again.

“I don’t think I could go out to an inauguration event without bodyguards or a protest or a conference,” he said. “I am more worried about going out to dinner on an average Tuesday because these kind of people are roaming around.”

On Periscope, Mr. Spencer also expressed concern about the spread of the footage of the attack online.

“I’m afraid this is going to become the meme to end all memes,” he said. “That I’m going to hate watching this.”

Interesting thing we learned yesterday Frederick Douglas is alive and well if you ask Donald Trump or Sean Spicer.

I'm a white male and Ive never been told or been made to feel as I'm inferior to anyone or that I'm supposed to carry anyone else through life like a mule...

What's funny to me is you guys say this kinda stuff but you all seem to be in comfortable positions in life with no real day to day worries about surviving or putting food on the table or keeping a roof over your head and food in your bellies... but somehow you feel like your discriminated against to the point it's damaging... then... even feeling the way you do you dismiss others feelings on the topic that they feel discriminated against in favor of your own viewpoint...

I tell you what
