  Do You Think White People Are Being Discriminated Against?

  some call it reverse discrimination.

  whatever you want to refer to as, in your opinion, are white people being unfairly picked on?

  it seems acceptable that if you are white you are viewed with disdain.

  So in answer to my question, do you think white people are being discriminated against?......it seems like the answer is yes.

  In general society I definitely see an increase in racism against whites.

  i think cops are getting a bum rap.

  are there some cops who shouldn’t be cops?

  are some over eager?

  Unfortunately if you put your kids thru the school system, they will be educated in liberal philosophy.

  Lol. Knowing everything that Simon mentioned exists as a way of life is the point of it being mentioned. Everyone is aware these things are the rules that govern advancement. Just because you personally haven’t had it happen to you doesn’t mean that it’s obviously part of the way things are. Qualifications can take a back seat to quotas.

  The teachers unions are one of the strongest unions in the USA. They have clearly become a political threat.

  My thread was about whether you think white people are discriminated against because of their color. Surely many black people are discriminated against because of their color. White people are no different.

  That list is an exception. Good citizens as a rule do care about law and order. I’m not referring to someone who claims to be an upstanding citizen.

  As an institution, I think people expect law and order. They want to be able to, expect to be able to call for help. I think people who are good citizens do care about keeping law and order.

  No one should think if they signed up to be a cop that it would be EXPECTED that you would be treated with outright contempt and abuse. No one signs up for that! That’s like someone desiring to get married and enjoy a normal married like. Then the spouse gets abused regularly. Well....I don’t feel bad for them. If they don’t like it, just quit and find something else to do. That reasoning is crazy, in my opinion.
