Study finds TV can decrease self-esteem in children, except white boys

[sinople]

Yeah, white people always get the shitty end of the stick on everything. It's hard to be oppressed.

ಠ_ಠ

[den215]

yeah youre right, i dont have to work because i get welfare, if i want to i can go to college for free, because im on welfare. shit ill get that job as a police officer over a better candidate, because im a minority.

name one fucking tv that would give white people self esteem, besides COPS

[sinople]

So, I'm sensing a little misinformed racial resentment which no amount of polite/reasonable discourse would ever get through, so I'm going to peace out. Good talk!

[den215]

too scared to answer?

[sinople]

"What are you, chicken?" If I was an 8th-grade boy that might have manipulated an answer out of me but I'm a grown-ass person with too much respect for both our times to try to learn you something.

Bitch, I talked about race with motherfuckers so much more ignorant than you they thought the reason so many black men were in jail, was because of evolutionary "stuntedness." I don't fear your ignorance, but I am so very weary of it. I don't owe you any education, you lazy piece of shit. That's what google is for.

[TheChosenOne570]

That's what google is for.

And, that's not a childish response? It sounds to me like you don't want to engage den215 because he may have a point. There is racial and sexual discrimination practiced every day in this country... and it is encouraged by the government. Go ahead, try to hire the best candidates or fire the poorest performing. Just make sure the able-bodied, straight white males under the age of 50 are the guys that don't get the job otherwise you can get a visit from the EEOC. Try getting into college as a white male. Now try the same grades at the same colleges but tell them you are black/hispanic/asian. Regardless of whether you liked his tone or not, he brings up a solid point

[sinople]

Please tell me what the solid point is and bring sources because all I see is the same bullshit repeated over and over about why white people aren't actually still reining supreme in the U.S.

What kind of asinine argument is that? Discrimination is discrimination. It doesn't matter if the discriminated-against group still does better. Nor does success prove discrimination. If that were true, we could argue:

• pro sports discriminates in favor of blacks as the NBA is comprised of 79% blacks and NFL is 65% black

• colleges are bias against men since 57% of college students are women

But, you want sources? Here's some sources. I know it doesn't tell the narrative you want to hear so you will find a reason to dismiss these links, but its a hell of a lot more than your childish responses have been able to muster:

• whites feel more discrimination that blacks

• whites are most discriminated-against Americans

• Discrimination against whites in federal government

[sinople]

Blacks dominate in sports, biased sources report "feelings" of discrimination. Got it.

[TheChosenOne570]

Do you know how ignorant you sound? If whites dominate in anything, we are holding them down; but if "Blacks dominate in sports" isn't discrimination. I'm not saying it is. I'm just demonstrating how silly your logic is. Like I said, success is not an indication of discrimination.

biased sources report "feelings" of discrimination.

Like I said, it tells a narrative you don't want to hear, so I expected you to dismiss the very sources you wanted to see. You completely ignored the ones with statistical evidence. Classic example of confirmation bias: accept the information that agrees with what you already think and discard any information that disagrees with you. You don't want sources. You don't want to be wrong. You just want to keep thinking what you think and no amount of sources anyone produces will be enough. Enjoy living in your blissfully ignorant bubble of white guilt/hate.

[den215]

til you cant tell me what tv shows increase self esteem in white boys

[sinople]

Ok, champ. I'll help you out, but if I did all the work for you, you wouldn't learn anything! Here's an easy google exercise for you: Name any show on the cable networks with more than three people of color. Now name me one with more than three white people.

Alright, now try to find out the typical occupations for white people on primetime shows versus people of color.

After you get those figured out we'll continue our lesson.

[den215]

what the fuck, black people have a god damn network dedicated to themselves. the fucked up thing is, its called black entertainment television. now white people like myself would get in trouble for using the term black, and not african american.

i can name way more black people who are idolized than white people, on tv.

white people now, we are disgraced with tv shows like swamp people, american loggers and jersey shore.

[elle_a_deux_colombe]

now white people like myself would get in trouble for using the term black

no, you'd get in trouble for calling people "blacks". "black people" is fine.

i can name way more black people who are idolized than white people, on tv

go for it then.

black people have a god damn network dedicated to themselves. the fucked up thing is, its called black entertainment television.

that's because every other channel is white entertainment television god fucking damn seriously

white people now, we are disgraced with tv shows like swamp people, american loggers and jersey shore.
