This presumes that everyone is treated exactly the same. That regardless of the color of our skin, our gender, and economic background we all have exactly the same opportunities.

Except we don't, do we?

We all have the same rights and opportunities. We all also have the abilities to squander those rights and opportunities.

This is provably not true.

There is mountains of research that show things are not fair. People are not treated the same. We do not all have the same opportunities.

Do you know any black men? Go ask them the last time they were stopped by the cops.

Black men are stopped by the police at a higher rate than any other demographic.

I used to work for a major telecom. One of the groups I worked in, my boss was a black man. When he first took over the position, for about the first 2 months, he was late to work about once a week.

I gave him a hard time about it once. He laughed but then told me that he was usually late because he'd been pulled over by the cops on his way to work. When he'd taken this job, he'd moved from Atlanta. He had a nice house in a nice neighborhood. He said it usually took a few months for the cops to get used to seeing him in the neighborhood. After that, they'd stop pulling him over.

I was all "WTF?!?" but he was all "no big deal, it's just a part of life." I talked to a few other black men that I know, and they all said the same thing. they routinely get stopped by the cops for no specific reasons.

When was the last time you got pulled over in your own neighborhood? Not for speeding. Not for committing some king of traffic violation. But just for existing. Repeatedly. For months at a time.

So much so that you thought it wasn't a thing you needed to get upset about.

We are not all treated the same. We do not all have the same opportunities.

Not discounting your experiences. But we all have the same rights and opportunities under the law. Just as those can be squandered, so can they manipulated by man. But nonetheless we all have the same rights and opportunities, it's on the person to squander or utilize.

Same opportunities under the law? Put a white guy and a black guy into an interview for the same job with the same experience level and education. Guess what, black guy will win every time. That said, isn't affirmative action in itself........racist? Aren't incentives for companies to hire black people racist when we are to be considered "equal under the law?" White people are the new racial target when it comes to opportunities. White people are, in a sense, the new minority.

Not going to disagree. If a company offers incentives based on race the potential employees have to make that judgment. But there are many places to work.

And we have an employee that gets continuous customer complaints and hasn't been fired because he's already made racist claims after they gave him his first warning. White people get canned after 2 complaints where I work and this guy seems to be a problem child on purpose just to spark a racial lawsuit. They just cut his hours to 10 a week.

“There is mountains of research that show things are not fair.”

Hmmm...maybe because LIFE ISN’T FAIR.

I'm a white chick, I've been pulled over many times.
Of all those, I only received 2 tickets (I deserved both)
I've been asked out 4 times (once I was followed for 30 miles and through a fast-food drive through, before he pulled me over only to ask me out), and once I was targeted by local police (pulled over 3 times in 20min) so they could look down my shirt while I was driving a convertible.
I've also been pulled over 'cause the cop thought I was using a cellphone when it was actually the GPS.
I was pulled over because my seatbelt was the same color as my shirt and they couldn't see it.
I've been pulled over for driving in the diamond (carpool) lane by myself, on a Saturday which is perfectly legal. (we laughed about that)
Some of those times were sexist, but most were legit, and I don't attribute every interaction with the police as sexual harassment;
...but for some reason liberals seem to think that every time a cop stops a black person it's because of their skin color. News flash: thinking that is racist.
