In reply to the discussion: "Let's work to end racial discrimination" is a better approach than "whites are so privileged". [View all]CANDO
(2,068 posts)The endless gender war threads are meaningless. The endless hand wringing over societal barriers is tireless in the extreme. I don't care if you're white. What is the POINT? What do you want from me and many millions like me who have NEVER participated in discriminatory activity? We are aware and agree any and all discrimination should end. But the constant drumbeat of "you're so privileged" has to have a fucking point. The 2.5 million miles I've traveled thus far in my trucking career sure as hell didn't come from any special privilege. So stop telling me and millions more of white America that our experiences and existences were handed to us on a silver platter. And to reiterate, if you aren't employed and can't find a job in your field, you're lazy and don't want a job. Anyone with a fucking pulse can get a CDL and drive a truck. My brother has a 4 year degree and drives a truck. I love the mantra...'there's no jobs', BULLSHIT! There are jobs, just ones people think they shouldn't stoop so low to do. I'm done with this pissing contest...You win!
