Yes you still sound like a right wing troll. I'm not saying you are one. Just that you hold the same beliefs

A little empathy and understanding of the completely different lives some people live can go a long way

Trolling 101: Don't acknowledge the actual statements or opinions of others, instead turn it around so that you are the victim not being heard

Like the concept itself, this video is full of nonsense. A comment on the video about sums it up: "The advantages are mostly about decisions made by parents, it is not race."

You look childish and ignorant when you immediately call someone a troll. You're the worst kind of person, you can't even debate with someone.

You're a straight white male. Much of the world is designed expressly to benefit you. You have no idea about nor do you care about the struggles of the rest of humanity. Don't even try and use the "white privilege" excuse with me. Stop perpetuating that lie. You also don't know any of the struggles I've been through, you don't even know me. I would never judge who you are without knowing how you think, unlike you, who will judge someone based on their race. Ironically, you're the one being racist here. The term "white privelege" does not mean that white people have no problems. It simply means that the world is generally(this is the key word) much easier if you're white. Even more if you're male, and even more so if you happen to be straight. There are of course hundreds of thousands of exceptions, but the term is there just to point out the sad fact that it is generally harder to succeed in life if you're part of a minority. And yes, there are obviously many exceptions to that rule as well.

And yes, there are obviously many exceptions to that rule as well. And there are MANY instances that debunk the idea of "white privilege." Each race has their own kinds of social "privilege" if I were to entertain the idea. Asian Americans are quickly becoming the wealthiest group in America, and some of the most highly intelligent and educated. There is more wealth inequality between Asian Americans than whites. Would you call that "Asian privilege", or is it just something they worked hard for and earned?

This is a great bit of info I found on this topic recently: The problem with most inequality statistics is that they only focus on groups rather than individuals and fail to take into account a myriad of other variables: (H/T: Townhall)
Dr. [Thomas] Sowell writes that the fallacy of wealth and income inequalities is that they study inequalities between groups rather than individuals. When Dr. Sowell presented the data that studied changes in an individual’s wealth and income over a period of time, it showed that the people inhabiting each income bracket are constantly changing, with those who are poor becoming rich and vice versa. Dr. Sowell also points out that the inequality statistics also don’t take into account transfer programs (food stamps, Medicaid, etc.), and when they are taken into account it shows that there really isn’t as much inequality as those on the left (like my former professor) say there is.
Chapter 7, which focuses on wealth inequality between countries, is a particularly interesting chapter since it shows the variables that aren’t taken into account when global wealth inequality statistics are presented. The left would have you believe that it’s due to Western imperialism and exploitation of Third World countries, but Dr. Sowell provides research showing that, in fact, countries touched by Western influence performed better economically than those who rejected it (and a subsequent economic collapse followed). The variables that cause a country to be Third World status include geography, culture, and law and order.

You need to earn your money, not get it from your fellow citizens through government interference You're a straight white male. Much of the world is designed expressly to benefit you. You have no idea about nor do you care about the struggles of the rest of humanity. Much of the world is designed expressly to benefit to the 1% richer.

This is your regular reminder that socialism is worker's control of production and not wealth distribution or state ownership. Why does no one on this forum directly respond to someone when they disagree with them? Are you afraid I’ll miss this comment and look like I didn’t respond? Also, you’ve lied enough about socialism in the past on this forum, there’s no need to constantly repeat the dictionary definition of socialism and be completely dishonest of what it has done in history You avoided pretty much everything I said to you in this thread. I asked you for specific examples to back up your vacuous claims and you couldn't give me any.

I’ve stated my opinion, do you want a 10 page essay on how I came to that conclusion? I’ve explained why I think the way I think. You haven’t backed up what you were saying either, but it’s your opinion. I didn’t ask you to thoroughly back them up, because it’s your opinion. We could go back and forth all day questioning each other’s knowledge on a topic, but the conversation would go nowhere, like it is now because you just keep repeating that I don’t “back up what I say”

You then claimed that the British government put immigrants before the "British people" (still not sure who the British people are but we'll skip that one for now): Again I ask you - what immigration problem? Explain it to me. It’s self evident. The people in Britain come first, immigrants second. And it seems like the government don’t believe in that, which isn’t right in my eyes I asked you to give me an example of that, back it up... and you couldn't. You just tried to be clever by saying words that don't actually mean anything.
