Calling someone privileged because he/she is white...

[Omar]

The point is that if dedication, hard work, education being the best family man I could and maintaining my individual integrity are signs of "white privlege" then I am guilty as is my wife, my adult children , most of my friends and neighbors , my sisters and brothers in laws etc.
If you want success without displaying most of these signs of "privlege" play lotto and hope!

If dedication, hard work, education are signs of white culture and white privilege, obviously it is unfair to suggest that other races use those traits to self improve. The only fair thing left to do is turn the country socialist/communist so that everyone can share equally in the rewards, whether they work for it or not. Which is pretty much exactly what these rioters are trying to bring about.

Except the elite of course, they will live like kings under either system, since they will be running the show either way.

Yes, it is odd how those communist leaders live so well! Well said. Don't get me wrong, comming up in the hood must suck, but more because of the criminal element and adult behavior than due to open discrimination. Opportunity is not the same as the middle class kids opportunity is not the same as the rich kid's. But take away the solid family, work ethic, etc being role modeled and add violent streets and you have very difficult odds. No question! The question is what makes this so time and time again and what to do about it.?
My suggestion is ,as it has been for a long time. Personal responsibility ( as in show up for work and don't committ felonies, and be a big part of your kid's lives). But how to get there with the bad role modeling and high crime areas? Well we have tried throwing money at the issue, racist AA for jobs and college admissions, numerous well meaning social programs, police, social workers, and tragically the "blame whitey game"
None of that has worked and the latter has done major damage. It turns out if you believe others are 100% responsible for your life then you have no motivation or hope of changing your life for the better. Much like an alcoholic who blames his boss, luck or wife for everything has no power to recover until he begins to own his own $#@!, a group of people can be similar.

I think that is the goal of the organizers but all the individual thug wants is the free stuff.
