  “White Privilege”

  lately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!

  i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.

  in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?

  Black people will always be the group that is looked at as being expected to do something wrong or illegal. Im fine with it being this way, I just wish it didn't have to be.

  Again this generally happens when I go to areas with what is suppose to be inclusive white people. If I stay in my rural "redneck" areas this rarely happens. Howvever when I go to Charlotte or Raleigh these things happen. When I use to work and travel to areas like Boston, LA it was painfully obvious.

  However when I spentbtime in areas that were suppose to be full of racists and backward southerners this never happened.

  I am not looking for sympathy. I just understand in America most people are prejudiced, myself included. The racists however tend to be the people who constantly call others racists. I hate to pin it on political parties but I generally see the racist tendencies and those who perpetuate privilege are of the party that happens to be democrats

  Growing up in a black crime infested neighborhood in the 90s I was told by my parents to be respectful to police. Do not have my hands in my pockets because they shoot first or see u as a threat. That guidance during that time period was lifesaving.

  If you live in one of these communities you would understand that. I understand the fear some cops had, however some were bad and were trigger happy.

  White privilege. I think it amounts to just being able to kove through life in the USA without being seen.

  3 days ago I was in line at a Cabelas (gunstore) where in this year alone I have spent well over 10 thousand dollars. I was there with 3 other white friends of mine we were buying ammo for a run and gun course. There was a long line. We all had basically the same items. There was a long line. 2 of my friends paid and when it was my turn the young lady wanted to see my drivers license and I was paying with a debit card. I laughed. My buddy asked her why she asked only me when the people in front of us and none of them were asked.

  She just stood there and l[ned at me and said sorry....

  Couple of months ago my wife's family came to visit. 5 of us went to a very nice restaurant. We were asked to pay for our meal before we were even served. These things happen fairly frequently to me and my wife.

  I am a successful guy, not trying to gloat or be a dick but I am fairly well-off. I am sure these things occasionally happen to everyone, but they happen to me and my family consistently.

  My daughter was in a private school, and at the parent teacher night in front of everyone there one of the parents assumed my child was on a scholarship. I could go on and on with this sort of stuff. Basically I will never be able to go anywhere without the worst being thought of me. I am fine with it, but it would be nice to not have to deal with it

  You changing search engines does very little in your quest to stay hidden from big business.

  If you have a cellphone regardless if operating system your every move is tracked.

  Apps you download do the same.

  Its almost funny to listen to people act like not using Google puts you on 007 level standards of privacy

  Should graffiti go as well as the confederate statues?

  by newsheep in

  on the news tonight as the blacks are bringing down the confederate statues they are wanting to keep the graffiti up as a remembrance of what happened to their ancestors.

  then why do away with the statues?

  it doesn't make sense to me or am i missing something here?

  Please be sensible and recognize that literally 70 percent of these fucktards are your white friends and their kids

  Hey phoenix, thanks for your review. I have been looking for something that might suit her because the recoil on damn near every ccw is too much for her. The 22lr is better than nothing, but like you said a good ole 38 will do enough damage to put MOST perps down.

  I was thinking of purchasing the .357 model since it can also shoot the .38+p. Thanks again for your input

  i agree with people who say all lives matter.

  i think blm is a racist group.

  LCR by ruger. Which caliber if you dont mind me asking and if it is above a 22lr, what is the recoil like for a woman in her opinion.

  My wife is looking for a new firearm and I was looking at getting one for her. Sorry to derail.
