This person is a ben shapiro jordan peterson loving groyper, who claims all problems with the west are due to some cultural degredation (???).
He once claimed the only way to “assimilate” black people was to police them more… So i desperately tried to explain why black people commit more crimes, not due to some abstract cultural difference between white people and black people, but because they live in absolute poverty, desolation, and often literally have no other choice.
I really tried to convince him that this is false, pointing out how western countries couped and invaded countries, and that that is diametrically opposed to our supposed “white”, christian culture. He would follow up with the claim that we were just spreading democracy… i would respond to him with the fact that nearly all the regimes that were put into power were fascistic and autocratic. He would then respond to that with “we tried to force democracy onto them, they weren’t ready”.
There’s still hope for this gremlin though, because i got him to watch Parenti in exchange for me reading Jordan Peterson shit. Maybe parenti will bring this goblin into the light. After all, crazier things have happened
I can attest that I’ve committed plenty of minor crimes (mostly moving violations like speeding) but the lack of melanin in my skin meant that instead of leaving in cuffs, or even a very expensive ticket, I was able to suck up a bit and got let off with a warning almost every time. I can guarantee at least a handful of those times would have ended differently if my skin wasn’t super white.
