Its crazy man the same people that say "every vote counts!" Will loose their freakin mind if you vote for a third party and immediately say "you wasted your vote!" The system isn't broken it was built this way

I think you might consider changing your perception of what people mean when they say “white privilege”, because I can assure you that it doesn’t mean that. All white people are not working together to oppress non whites.

You’re not being attacked. Recognizing that some have been treated terribly does not mean you will be treated worse.
I definitely dont feel attacked it's a made up term to trigger Republicans. Systematic racism is unfortunately is real. But again it has more to do with rich vs poor. The rich put money in the police pockets to keep the poor out of their neighborhoods.

Next thing you know people will start calling you a communist (gasp!) because your outlook, at least as far as I can tell, is very similar to a communist one. Then again, Warren Buffet himself said some years ago that there is a class war going on and that the rich are winning.

I don’t disagree about rich vs poor, but I think both can be a problem at the same time.

Classic thinkers of the 19th/20th centuries that the rich are deathly afraid of have explained decades ago what the root of the problems we are seeing is. It's exactly as Hungry4hops has described it. Everything we see stems from that, including systematic racism and the pinning of different ethnic groups against each other. It's a classic strategy employed by those whose sole goal is increasing their own wealth. Lack of education (work your ass off, pay taxes, go to church, don't ask questions) and perpetuated ignorance is an integral instrument employed by those who want a divided society. Creation of antagonisms and using them to derive additional wealth and power -- that's what they are doing, at everyone else's (whites', blacks', etc.) expense.

I can’t go back 200 years to slap a rich person in the face and tell them to knock it off, but I can be a better person today and recognize that my black neighbors have had a really tough time.

I don't think you understand the least bit what I'm saying. You can recognize the plight of your black neighbors all you want. I'm sure some of them will thank you, some of them will say you are faking it, others will say that you have to atone for your white privilege, etc. Will their situation change because of your sympathy? Not at all. Only by genuinely slapping the rich today and by stripping them of their wealth and power that they garnered at the expense of regular people fighting among themselves today can you help. Everything else is a pitiful (not meant to offend you the least bit) substitution that does nothing to eradicate the root cause.

I couldn't agree more, and anything I can do to help I will. But using terms like white privilege, karen, and black lives matter, isn't helping, its labeling group and dividing the people. And voting for one rich white guy, or the other rich white guy isn't going to help.

You don’t need to be so contentious. Learn to recognize when someone largely agrees with your point.

You're not really suggesting that rich people should be stripped of their wealth are you?

Considering their 1000% and higher profits are generated by using everyone else's labor and basic speculation at the stock exchange, the vast majority of their wealth ultimately does not belong to them.

Without people who can afford to start a business and hire the people who you want to give their wealth to there wouldn't have been a business to hire the people in the first place. MrFancypants mentioned Bernie Sanders because that's what Bernie would do. It's called socialism.
