  So those black LSU students and athletes are wearing a symbol of the Tiger Brigade that fought to keep their ancestors in slavery. The Vikings were the Nazis of a millennium ago. And the Irish had good reason to hate the English which some of my older relatives sure did.

I got free school because I'm white, I got a job because I'm white, I get free money from my grandparents because I'm white, I get to play the victim whenever I want because I'm white, I get to vote because I'm white, I stay out of jail because I'm white, etc. I am truly thankful to be white. If I was a minority, my life would be so hard.

  Gosh if you are of a certain age. You got sent to third rate school at best in much of the country if you were red, black or brown. As you entered the job market many jobs were denied you. And because your grand parents had even less opportunity they had nothing to pass on to you. Many people when they first see you, automatically consider you a criminal as do he police. Oh gosh that’s right you are white so none of this is true.

  I'm not sure why Cleveland's baseball team's mascot is people from India. Don't see why that should be offensive.

  How many years is it going to take for things to be fair for everyone? 1,000? 10,000? 15,000,000?
  
  Nothing will ever be fair. Giving minorities benefits for the hardships of their ancestors only creates the notion of inferiority for minorities because they need special help in order to make it. The best way to make things fair is to help those who need it, give the job to the best person, and vote for the candidates based on something other than their skin color. Until that day, racism will never die, and that is what you want apparently.

  what kind of delusional little world do you live in that you think you won anything? You have proved nothing, just given a series of rather narrow minded opinions.

  I have proved nothing? I have proved the only thing I set out to prove; that frauds like you are ruining this country one complaint at a time. Grow up. As far as winning...

  Sleeper was afraid to make this thread in the political forum because LJ would've had a field day giving him infractions. Sleeper just ignores posts, comments, arguments, etc that don't allow him to write about his political beliefs.
• isadore

  sleeper is just a narrowminded little man with loads of mental issue.
• isadore

  This statement he made to Devil’s Advocate is definitive for sleeper.

  I am quoting from a thread on kid wearing a t shirt protesting homophobia, we get a quote from sleeper that is the key to his character.

  sleeper wrote: I was bullied as a student in grade school. Now I make extremely good money and have the mental toughness of god himself. Bullying is why #sleeperwins
  

  
  　

  isadore wrote: This explains so much to anyone who has read your comments on any of these threads. You were a victim of child abuse by other children. The abuse had its results. Reactive attachment disorder "characterized by markedly disturbed and developmentally inappropriate ways of relating socially in most contexts. It can take the form of a persistent failure to initiate or respond to most social interactions in a developmentally appropriate way." Your Dissociative Disorder explains your need to refer to yourself in the third person. You need to get help or be pulled down by the spiraling effects of your previous life experiences.

  I'm sure I don't agree with Sleeper on every issue but I seem to agree with mostly everything that he believes in the race department.
• sleeper

  

  I think all kids should be bullied. It would weed out the weak and strengthen this country by developing independent minds capable of separating emotion from rationality. You could use some rationality isadore because the world you live in doesn't exist, and if it ever did exist, your freedoms would be thrown out the window. Do you really want to live in a country controlled by the government? Everything would suck, but it would be fair!

  He just makes threads to push his political beliefs and opinions on race, religion, money, etc etc. He puts them in serious business because he's a troll and wouldn't get these threads approved in the political forum. So he comes here, ignores peoples arguments, posts his opinions and doesn't have to deal with getting an infraction.

  If you consider mental issues, a taste for rationality without emotion, then yes, I have mental issues.
  
  Seek help isadore, you live in a fantasy land. It must be nice to wake up every morning and realize your own ineptitude, a helpless swan hell bent on ruining the world for everyone in the interest of fairness.

  I don't start threads in the politics forum because it takes 6 months for LJ to approve anything. I certainly do not mind if any of my threads are placed there.

  That's exactly what i said - they wouldn't get approved.
• HitsRus

  

  Sports illustrated (and others) did a poll and found that 90% of native Americans had no problem with school or pro team logos being used, with many actually supporting it. But almost 100% of 'activists' found it insulting.
  
  I think that pretty much sums it up. It really is an issue only to those who want to use it for something.

  You are starting to rave sleeper, I win. That is how silly it is.
  what kind of assinine statement is it that all kids you should be bullied. It is vicious and causes untold pain to the innocent. I am an American, I dont want to live anywhere else the world. Americans would have a much higher quality of life, more social mobility, better healthcare, education and a more free state if we borrowed some policies from Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, true social democracies.

  It only causes pain for the weak. Do you really want to live in a world where we cater to the weak?
  
  There is no higher quality of life, healthcare, education, and freedom than the United States of America. A democracy does not mean taking from the rich to give to the poor. The poor are poor because they want to be poor. "Woe is me" I am poor in America but I have the latest smartphone, cable TV, new shoes, new clothes, new car, new hairstyle every month, etc. You want poor? Go to North Korea, that is what happens when we subscribe to your radical leftist policies, we all become poor and we all become slaves to the government.

  You rave, lol I continue to win. I better stop I am just running up the score now. Put in the subs, shrink my vocabulary and use of facts so we can relate on a more equal level from now on. You do know that rationality has little to do with your expressed opinions. No maybe you don't know that. Sorry I brought it up, I guess I was just running up the score and that is not right, because I do believe in fairness even for the privileged.
