So what you are saying is that today in America we don't all have the same opportunities?

Which races are not allowed by law to do what, let's say, what I am allowed to do by law as a white male?

Please list them.
You think LAW is the only thing that prevents people from having the same opportunity?
Wow, you really DO live under a rock. Ever heard of private industry?

Almost DAILY, there are news reports of people of color being treated without equality, specifically because of their ethnicity, ***, age, religion. And lawsuits being judged or settled in favor of the plaintiffs.

For someone who acts like he is so world-wise, you have an incredibly myopic view and limited exposure to reality.

I’m sure none of these situations really happened since you didn’t witness them…

So.... no list then?

Ok Mr. Stuck inside the Box thinker. The laws are there to protect EVERYONE. Do you not think that walls can be "ethnicity, ***, age, religion"? Things that have to be overcome. The opportunities don't go away because of the "private industry" or racist bigots. If there are lawsuits, good for those people... they are climbing over the walls. You make me sigh when you type sometimes.

You strike me as a "lifer". You got out of school, had a few bleh jobs then found the one you are in now. Something simple that requires little to no effort or brain power. Probably pays well too. So you see NO reason to better yourself. You will sit there and collect your COL raises and just ride this job out to the end. If that is what you have chosen then good for you. Some people are cool with leveling out.

Good job on that list.

“List”? Like the completed lawsuits lists I provided links to?
Ask your handler to read them to you. They prove that everyone does not have the same opportunities in this country.

Just because an opportunity exists does NOT mean everyone has access to it, but it goes WELL beyond that. There are people who actively PREVENT others from having access.

Here are examples, AGAIN. Your inability to read them did not mean I didn’t post them the first time, or this time. Can’t wait to read how these are “bullshit” cases and never really happened.



The “lifer” assumption is pretty funny, coming from a guy delivering pizzas part-time for vodka money at age 47.
I got where I am by working and being promoted based on my work ethic, and demonstrating my abilities over time.
At 47, I was working full time, not delivering pizza while living under the roof of, and being provided for by others.
I’ve never been a sponge like you.

Are you just skimming over post? You must be or you wouldn't be asking "What List".

I said list the races that don't have the same opportunities as white people in America.

Stop pontificating on things that weren't ask. What you keep commenting on goes right back to walls that need to be climbed.

The point is, all the same opportunities are there for all US citizens.

I don't need to read something you linked that has nothing to do with what I ask.

No, you just don’t want to read anything that proves you wrong yet again.

Your claim:
“All races have the same opportunities to prosper in life and all races have walls to climb over. You can't blame anything but yourself if you choose to stand at the wall and not climb over."

The discrimination lawsuits that have been lost by defendants PROVE that not everyone has the same opportunities due to ethnicity/race.
They also show that even WITHIN ethnicity and race by group, people are denied equal opportunity.

Again, your refusal to believe facts that are presented directly to you does not invalidate those facts. It just paints you as willfully ignorant.
Zero point zero.

RACE DISCRIMINATION.
PERSONS WHO WERE ACTIVELY DENIED OPPORTUNITY BASED ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.
Race Discrimination: Garland v. USAir, Inc., 767 F. Supp. 715 (W.D. Pa. 1991) and Taylor v. USAir, Inc., 56 FEP 357 (W.D. Pa. 1991).

Plaintiffs, African-Americans and experienced airline pilots, applied for pilot positions with USAir. Plaintiff Taylor was never granted an interview, although he was qualified for the position and lesser qualified white applicants were interviewed and hired. Plaintiff Garland, although the most qualified applicant in his interview group and among the top applicants, was not hired by USAir until almost 3.5 years after he had applied. The court found that USAir had illegally discriminated against plaintiffs on the basis of their race and that USAir’s operation of a hiring channel which granted special preference to white applicants with relatives employed by USAir or with “influential references” had an adverse disparate impact on blacks. Plaintiffs settled with USAir and the Airline Pilots’ Association following the court’s findings and before the motion for plaintiffs’ attorney’s fees for a substantial 7-figure sum and the injunctive relief of seniority adjustment.

Explain how the court got it all wrong, and there was equal opportunity.

Just because they lost a lawsuit does not mean the opportunities were not there. Nobody said you can't be knocked off the wall. So, go around the wall at that point if you have too.

Man, you really are as dumb as a post.
How is it you never stepped off a curb in front of a bus? Maybe the bud doesn’t exist if you don’t see it?
Or does your handler keep you on a toddler leash?
 

Thxone: Still want to stick to your theory that everyone has the same opportunity and opportunities regardless of ethnicity/race?
Again... walls Rob, these are just walls. If there is "proof" that there is discrimination on the federal level against ANY American then why aren't you fighting to have that fixed Mr. Bleeding Heart?

I am so glad the "Walls" metaphor bounced right off you.

Interesting how you try to turn this on me after you make a stupid claim, stand by the stupid claim, get proved wrong many times over, and continue to stand by the claim.

“Everyone has the same opportunities” Except those that don’t.
What a dunce you are. Pathetic.

You haven't proven anything. You can't just "say" you proved something... you have to actually do it. If you are saying we all don't have the same opportunities in the US then the government is lying to us and something needs to be done about it... unless you are ok with it and prefer everyone who is not white be kept "in their place".

Our Constitution affords all Americans the same rights.... just so you know... this includes opportunities.
