I wasn't referring to "white man" I was referring to the ideology that whatever a POC says is. If we say it's racist then it's racist even if can be proven that it is not. Especially with white people. So I am right you can't say otherwise because you are white. I obviously do not believe in such garbage. 

Provide an example of that phenomenon

I am very well aware of the Residential school system. However most people do not know about the far left radical ....our favorite word....propaganda infesting in it. 

Provide am example of this far left radical propaganda investing the school system? Are you talking about the social media hype and hysteria over teaching history in schools?

I didn't really feel bad. I was being feticious. However I much mention you have never apologized for anything before. Might it be because you learned I'm aboriginal? See. Do not make assumptions. We do not all subscribe to the democrat narrative. 

It might be because you said that you felt bad, I took your words at face value and it's not my intention to make people feel badly about themselves...only to discuss topics and issues and the like.  Which assumptions have I made?

It seems rather obvious that not all people subscribe to any political narrative.

A weapon like calling people ""Nazi" and "white supremacists " to silence their speech? Nah. 

Those words aren't used to silence speech...that's a position of victimhood. It is allowed to discuss the realities of fascist and racist ideology in the USA. That only feels like an attack to people who find their beliefs and thinking uncomfortably close to those of the fascists or racists.

Biden was only responsible for the actual evacuation. I find it disingenuous to say he was the one who "got us out",. That was already decided before he took office. He wasn't the president who "ended the war in Afghanistan".  It is also refreshing to hear someone say "it could have been handled better [emphasis added]. 

[...]

Which is another way of saying that he got us out.  If it makes you feel better, then yes, he used Mr. Trump's plan, but Mr. Biden got us out.  If Mr. Trump wanted to be known as the president that "ended the war in Afghanistan," then he should have implemented the withdrawal while he was still in office.

The way he managed that withdrawal was a disaster to say the least. When confronted he just keeps repeating the same thing. "The buck stops with me". The "buck" was already stopped. 

I know I'll get well, "Trump did ,did not ......". 

However  before anyone says anything just imagine how your opinions may be a little bit different if this withdrawl happen under Trump. 

I agree, the withdrawal could have been handled better.  However, had it been done last year, during Mr. Trump's administration, it would have been the same plan, executed by the same military, and in all likelihood would have had the same, disastrous results. 

And before you accuse me of bashing the military, I too am a retired Marine.

It's interesting. I could point out Nazi fascist racist ideology of far left as well. I will provide examples eventually. I have a job and don't have time to converse with retired fascist that don't even know they are fascists.

I fully appreciate the freedom/privilege I have as a white person of European descent. 

I am also fearful of the movement toward minority rule as one party passes voter restrictions and restructures state election structures to assure their dominance. 

Did you see what the  Texas house has done? At 3:30 in the morning they passed a gerrymandered redistricting map that assures that white people (40% of the population) control 60% of the districts. 

But sure, go on about "H". 

Since when does it matter the race of the individual? When did we abandon judging a man by the content of their character not their skin color? 

That Twitter reference(Twitter is a great source of non bias opinion) can be explained. 

Why is is so hard to understand that perjaps... now I know math is racist but......

Perhaps whites are more represented in anything because there is well....more white people? Ever think of that? 

Focusing on race is stupid and primitive and well kinda Nazish. (Not a word). 

However if we must point out differences then.....

People are different. People are tribalistic and tend to agree and have similar values of those that are like them. Even animals do it. So of course nobody is always going to agree. 

The "conservatives GOP" share simular values and beliefs so there will be more that look like each other than do not. 

Can you with an honest face say that all those numbers are because of racist GOP? How would that be possible these days when a white man is called a nazi for having a different opinion. 

Common man!

Except that the population of Texas is 40% white. And yeah, maybe a Republican controlled legislature would design voting districts to keep them in power. 

You seem pretty fixated on Hitler and Nazis. You OK, bro?

LOL

If a white nurse tries to get employment with the native health agencies in Alaska, they will be given consideration after native candidates are considered.  The focus and role of the native health system is to prioritize the needs of indigenous individuals and communities. That includes employment opportunities.  No, the assumption isn't that the indigenous nurses can't compete or aren't qualified. The reality is that structural racism results in indigenous candidates not getting employment because of the perpetuated racist thinking within the systems that are hiring...and so in the native health system THEY are given priority for employment. The idea that an aboriginal couldn't possibly have the skills or competitive edge is an example of racist thinking.  Does that make any sense to you? 

I don't see it as a matter of giving preference to locals because THEY need to be given the job as some sort of a break.  It's a matter that they are best suited to work with the patients they will be caring for.  It's not like a big city where everyone is melding in with others and everybody speaks a few words of a dozen languages.    Native patients have needs that outsiders can't imagine unless they have been living in the community for a long time.

The one in a gazillion cases.  Veronica Stein may well be fired for doing this.  The Chicago Tribune excoriated her in an editorial .  The docents can't even sue since they made the error of working for free.  I hope she does get fired and the docents get restored.  I heard her interviewed a while back on NPR and thought "What an impudent a-hole."

We need to learn from the past.  If you look at the modern Democratic Party they are eerily similar to Hitler and the third reich

You mean their undying fealty to a cult leader?  Attempted overthrow of the government during the peaceful transition of power? Blaming an ethnic minority for all the ills of society? And trying to eradicate that minority? 

Sure, whatever.

I think a better example of systemic racism against white people would be participating in hiring sessions where it's said not to hire white people.
