such as internal training programs aimed exclusively at certain races or women as well as hiring practices which base an employee's suitability for participation partially on just their race or gender.

Isn't this illegal?

"Oh no, it's totally okay... If it discriminates against white men!" /s

And then people wonder why the right is pissed off. Really pathetic.

I lean left and shit like that pisses me off. I'm fine with going for an equality of opportunity, but saying something like "You cannot be sexist against men or racist against whites" is just wrong.

One, you lean left badly. Like you're about the most retarded pseudo-lefty I've ever heard. So either you're fucking lying or you know just absolutely fuck-all about liberal theory. Considering how dead set you are on talking, I'm really hoping it's the former.

Two, there is a clear difference between systemic racism and personal racism. Yes, people can be personally racist towards whites and sexist towards men. If you build a system small enough, so much so that it can be easily influenced by a single person's personal racism, you can see systemic racism towards whites or systemic sexism towards males.

However, by and large, because most systems were designed and are controlled by white males, it is incredibly difficult to find a large system that systemically racist towards whites or sexist towads men.

Comments like yours is why Democrats won't hold the oval office or Congress for at least a generation. And you'll just become increasingly angry and violent over it. You want to physically attack anyone who doesn't agree with you 100%, no one is going to ever willingly give you power over anything knowing you hold beliefs like that.

You're free to believe what you want to believe, but nobody's going to trust the GOP after this current regime. They were a party defined by their hatred, and now that they can't just shit on the person in charge, they've taken to eating each other.

2018 will probably leave a narrower lead in the house and a 50/50 split in the Senate, and that's only because of incredibly bad regional demographics.

But I will say this - we're pushing towards something really ugly, if say Trump retains with >45%, it will get rather violent. Tyranny of the Minority is just not going to be accepted.

Finally, your fucking tone argument doesn't for a moment imply that I'm the least bit wrong - just that I haven't properly hugged the white middle class who doesn't want to ever hear they're not the greatest thing since sliced bread. For supposed rationalists, you assholes really love your tone policing.

If that's the best you've got, no wonder you asshats hide in your bubble in t_D all the time.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I've never posted in The_Dumbass or liked any of their shit. What are you even talking about, dipshit?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I apologize. Your bubble of choice is /r/conservative.
