She dates dudes?

Wait.

That's a "she"?

I was 2000 keystrokes into telling my pathetic Vikings they had a new right guard.

Thanks for the save! 04-cheers

I also disagree that the idea of America being a true meritocracy is inherently racist. I do, however, believe it is classist in the sense that the idea has been pushed for centuries by politicians and an upper class in order to motivate a working class that never truly had a way out of poverty. Things have slowly gotten better for the working class but it was through political means and tech advancement, not entirely hard work.

This is a nuanced subject and although the professor's remarks are a bit radical and off base, dumbing them down and twisting it to "hard work is a white ideology" is pretty unproductive and akin to the left crying racism at every turn.

That is a load of crap. The problem is, too many people think they should just *poof* transport out of poverty within a few years. It takes some families a generation or two, but it can be done, and is done from every type of community out there. I am living proof.

It is possible, yes. In a world of six billion people (or country of 300 million) there will be lots of outliers. I am speaking generally, and in general the odds are stacked so heavily against many communities (not just racially based) that saying "work hard enough and you'll make it out" isn't really true.

Blame it on the minimum wage that eliminated entry level jobs for the unskilled.

No one. Last time I checked, we still were not part of a "New World Order".

IMO, this lady is just perpetuating the "victim" mentality. That does no one any good.
