@AmetReloads

nobody speaks kindly of the french on my video and gets away with it.

How on earth did the topic of racism come into this comment section?

An interesting video. I note that that Native Americans nearly all sided with the British, just like the Africans did during the Boer War. And excuse my ignorance, but was this the war where the British burned down the White House?

@atticana

Correct, the same war. Although this book hardly talks about it, something I didnt like about it.

How the hell can that stupid war be seen to vindicate the republicans? It was republican obstinance that caused the war in the first place. Moreover, if you look at the time it took for a ship to sail from the UK to the US, that was about how long it took between the death of the UK PM who was impressing US sailors and the US gov't to declare war, despite by their own admission being unprepared.

Did you pay attention? Im saying the Reps were vindicated in the eyes of the public. They werent vindicated in my eyes though.

In American schools they mostly talk about the Battle of New Orleans. Like it was helm's deep and we beat the orcs in a decisive battle (even though the war was already over) after the orcs ransacked Edoras.

@Mementomori690069 I'm from Canada and when we learned this is school it was taught that the British came to our aid and helped us drive back the conquering Americans who thought they had right to all land in the Americas. And that the Americans invaded Upper Canada with a bunch of militia and slaughtered civilians and aboriginals.

@fringeelements You really want me to believe that when you lost all of your money going short that was a result of anti-white racism? If the manager hires a hot chick just because she is hot that is his ignorance.

[AEVautomatic]

@fringeelements Bullshit dude you are full of it. If a white person shorts the wrong stock he will lose the exact same percentage as anyone else. If you declare chapter seven you will delete the same debts as anyone else. If the person hiring people chose not to hire you or to hire someone else for anti-white racism reasons that is on that guy not on any kind of anti-white racism.

[fringeelements]

@fringeelements For example, if I was allowed to, I would give white people, people who are similar to me, who share my demeanor and political views, and attractive people a premium. How much? I don't know, depends on how stable my business situation was. If I had a gov't granted monopoly, the aesthetic premium would be higher. If I was in tougher competition, it would be lower. OTOH, firms with less diversity tend to have happier employees and better workplace health.

[fringeelements]

@AEVautomatic What? In what context? And it depends on what you value. If you enjoy being around white people, then you may hire a white person ahead of a more qualified black person. The market may or may not bear the cost of the productivity loss. If you value black people, then vice-versa.

Or to put it another way, race is "performance" of a sort, as being. Like hiring a hot girl vs. a fat nasty guy. Looks and mannerisms matter to people.

@fringeelements Why can't we just judge people on their preformance instead of their race?
