I'm not who you're askin...@ Anonymous 9:49<br /><br />I'm not who you're asking for advice, but what the hell, you get my two cents for free.<br /><br />First, develop the strongest sense of Self you possibly can. We all have undeserved enemies, some of us more than others. Others can belittle you and treat you unfairly, but none can strip you of your dignity unless you let them. Easier to say than do of course, but the Man of Dignity does not lose.<br /><br />The group loyalty tendency you describe is very real (albeit not restricted to whites or any other ethnicity). However, as much as the Chinese may hate the Japanes, they still buy lots of cars and consumer electronics from them.<br /><br />If you excel at whatever it is you do, you will face unfairness, you will be opposed. However, if you succeed in those realms over which YOU have control, if you attain the POWER that only comes from being better than everybody else.<br /><br />There are ways that others can fuck with you, but there are ways in which they can't. Master the latter and the former will take care of itself.<br /><br />This is much easier to type in a comment than to live out, but it's still true.Martelhttp://alphaisassumed.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-84736172167772615982014-03-25T09:49:41.968-07:002014-03-25T09:49:41.968-07:00I am a young Black male with conservative views.

I agree with your overall point that women and minorities are continuously harmed because propagandists capitalize on their willingness to give into self-delusion. I believe in equal opportunity, not equalized results. Ideally everyone should be allowed to compete fairly (including minorities and women) and the best person should get the job. If I as a Black male have a problem with the fact that white men keep winning, I should do my best to try harder, not use the government to make the successful reindeer let me play in their reindeer games.<br /><br />Even with this view, however, the problem I see is that white men unintentionally discriminate because they naturally favor their own, like any group does. This disadvantages minorities and women. From a conservative perspective, how do we guard against the injustices that result from this natural tendency?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-12929183267371720812014-03-25T09:38:01.530-07:002014-03-25T09:38:01.530-07:00I am a young Black male with newly developed conse...I am a young Black male with newly developed conservative views. I agree with your overall point that women and minorities are continuously harmed because propagandists capitalize on their willingness to give into self-delusion. I believe in equal opportunity, not equalized results. Ideally, everybody would be able to compete fairly (including minorities and women) and let the chips fall where they may in the end.

All these la...You are damn right about law degrees. All these law schools love to go on and on about "diversity" and how they care about minorities but the schools just want to use them in order to get their student loans. The entire legal education industry is so corrupt and crooked. <br /><br />The entire business model relies upon lying to prospective students about salaries and jobs and then getting people to sign up for $150-250k in non-dischargeable loans. The word is out about the horrible job market though. Too many law school graduates have spoken out, but the law schools continue to pump out 2 grads for every 1 job (and most of the few jobs available are very low paying - like $20-45k). The whole system is insane and you'd be an utter fool to attend law school. I have friends and have spoken to people that went to law school at Cornell, UVA, Michigan, Georgetown, Texas, UCLA, USC, Vanderbilt, GW, etc. and they're living with their parents and struggling to make loan payments on low salaries. A bunch of them are also doing document review, which is basically the lawyer version of temp work (go to a basement and click buttons that say whether a document is responsive or not. a 5-year-old could do it). Law school is generally a scam for all but the wealthy and connected or preternaturally brilliant (and if you can't easily get a big scholarship at a school named Harvard, Yale, or Stanford, that's not you).<br /><br />Don't go to law school, kids. It's a scam designed to enrich law school deans and professors and also designed to rip the students off and keep them busy so they don't know what's happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-55232463094997742572014-03-22T11:59:15.793-07:002014-03-22T11:59:15.793-07:00Ok I must confess I was surprised by the unusual l...Ok I must confess I was surprised by the unusual length of this post.<br /><br />Interesting, but I think the captain is giving too much credits to women and so.<br /><br />They can actually become lawyers and teachers at 30 years old. They just lobby the govt to lower the requirements so they have granted a pass.<br /><br />They will have a piece of paper saing they are judges and college professors, as it is exactly today, but their titles are worthless. They just live from the taxpayers. I repeat: do not give them the credit they are able to see the real thing - they believe they are really qualified.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-70543286413818994482014-03-22T10:26:35.971-07:002014-03-22T10:26:35.971-07:00completely agree. i live in Houston, which is over...completely agree. i live in Houston, which is over 40% minoroties; so i get a good chance to see all these miority kids and young moms and i know without a doubt that many of them will never get a chance to hit their potential because they bought what people like sheila jackson lee have sold them for decades and they wont listen to me for a second; despite that i could turn their future around in an hour. so, i sit with really great beer and cigars and wtach the usa spiral further 'enjoying the decline'.<br /><br />i also agree with this: "another book idea here."leeholsenhttp://www.skiloveland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-3533996191780043742014-03-22T08:54:11.125-07:002014-03-22T08:54:11.125-07:00Expand on it..another book idea here.
