They don’t give a shit about taxes. All their deals have tax distribution features so they don’t bear the burden of taxes.
Only people who make shit or do shit bear the burden of taxes.
They all have figured out how to just make someone else pay it. The higher their taxes, the more you have to pay them before you get yours.
There have been such programs in place since the 1960’s. Why after 50 years does society need to implement more of them or create new ones if any of them are effective? That’s fifty years with no foreseeable outcome that pleases everyone in a highly diverse country. Yet bleeding hearts continue to wring their hands over the matter and treat others dissimilar to them like children. And the smarter and astute amongst those who are being treated like children are aware of such patronization and coddling. How do I know? Because I’ve worked and lived with others for my whole life! And the astute ones would respond to such disingenuousness, “Do I look like a child?”
I know and have lived and worked with nearly all non-whites my whole adult life, earning 35,000 to six-figure bucks a year, and have excellent benefits, pensions, etc., with some earning seven figures. (Some would likely laugh in our faces if offered some relatively small favors or crocodile tears or “opportunities” or “understanding” from altruistic suckers who have far less than they do.) I’ve worked in places in which one can count on no more than two hands the amounts of white people employed, not to mention the thousands of workers about the towns I’ve seen through the years. I’ve known some non-whites who enjoy amenities and luxuries most or all on this board only dream of!
What exactly do they need from altruistic people like yourself or other well meaning posters? And I ask this in a most sincere fashion. I think you’re a nice guy. Maybe I’m just a jaded jerk. Why, just why, do people who are doing damn well, not just economically, but socially as well, need to be patronized in such a fashion or need even more TLC?
Regarding the supposed consideration of race:
That’s interesting. Does this go for the races of other animal species? Can a hammerhead shark be considered a white shark depending on its location?
Depends on whether its near a reef neighborhood with an abundance of food, nicer coves, etc.
Lol I think you mean ‘Can a light brown wolf be considered a medium brown wolf’
Think of races, or attempts to quantify the amount of melanin in one’s skin as broad generalizations with significant overlap on sides of each distribution due to social conventions and geographic locations.
I’ve used this example before - Assad and his wife look like an upper middle class French couple.
Italians are a fairly recent addition (early 20th century) to the “white” race in much of Northern European societies, for example.
Racial differentiation is not just about Melanin and skin color, which you are solely focusing on. There is far more to it than skin color. If we lightened Whoopi Goldberg’s skin but left her features intact, would we be correct in saying she would then be white or Indo-European?
There’s only one white man to have run a sub 10-second 100 meters. If we darkened a bunch of white mens’ skin would they now be more capable in accomplishing such a feat? (I hope no one answers this with sociological mumbo jumbo, like "Maybe if they darkened their skin more they’d have less access to hockey rinks and would practice running more.)
You present these examples of white people or people with white admixture. I don’t mean to sound sarcastic when I say this (seriously) but I’m well aware there are whites who reside in majority non-white nations. Entire white clans went into the Middle East god knows how long ago (!) and mixed with other races and the same happened in South America (obviously).
Assad is indeed part white and his wife might be full white, regardless of where they’re residing.
@loppar added more in my edit.
“White clans” ? You’re mixing European immigration to the Americas with the fact that many people in places like the Middle East do not look like they’re “supposed to look like”.
It can be very disconcerting for some people, who resort to comforting explanations about “crusaders” or “white tribes”, but the genetics simply says no - it’s simply a distribution on the edges.
For the record, Assad in a pure Alawite, and Alawites are closely related to Hurrians, a Bronze Age people. They’ve been in the Middle East for well, millennia and there isn’t a “white ancestor”.
See my edit. I said white people went into the Middle East a long damn time ago!
I never had a misconception on what every Mid Easterner looks like considering there are quite a few who look like that boy.
Umm…no. The modern-day definition of white is a fairly recent phenomenon and if you look at human migratory patters from analyzing haplogroups people from the ME “went” elsewhere.
Interestingly, Ancient Roman and Ancient Greek sources never mentioned anything resembling a “race”, only occasionally mentioned the complexion “extreme” outliers - blonde German tribesmen and black Nubians.
Only in the 17th and 18th century did the Northern European centric concept of a “white race” develop.
What term do you use instead of white race for the third race of the three main races including black and Asian?
Yeah, the term white was used as an informal word for aboriginal Europeans in the same way black is used for aboriginal Africans.
You and I have obviously been exposed to different authors and we differ most significant in that you state there is no definitive entity for a race that clearly differs from others and with those others being different from each other and the race in question as well.
Lmfao!
Nothing screams the need for some new blood in the line like giving birth to a Muppet.
Holy smokes. I’m waiting for that pic to start saying “yip didpdipdipdip, uhhhhuh uhhhhuh!”.
Yes, but he has survived, unlike Saddam or Qaddafi. A few years back everybody was certain his corpse will be dragged through the streets of Damascus in a matter of days, yet he’s still here…
I’ve met some Alawites and they have a very distinct appearance, different from desert Arabs. If you saw an Alawite in a context-free environment and tried to guess his/hers ethnicity, you’d first go with Italian/Sicilian, only to realize that something is a bit off…
Druze have an even more distinct appearance.
If anyone’s interested in ethnic/religious/racial oddities throughout the world, this is an informative channel…
I just can’t see what location has to do with it considering there is no French race. If Dolph Lundgren and Heidi Klum paired up and parked themselves in Japan, stating they looked like a typical German or Scandinavian couple would be obvious, even though they’d be residing in Asia.
I’m subscribed to him.
Since race can be used to refer to ethnicity, and historically it has been used that way for over two thousand years, there is a French race.
By this logic, all the English, Germans, Scandinavians, Poles, and others who came to America changed races to the American race.
Not by that logic. If you knew the etymology of the word race and the history of how race has been viewed, you would not have drawn that conclusion.
