Yeah and I get sick of hearing how privileged I have been as a white male and that I should now atone for the sins of some dead guys.

On the plus side, I have an official card that says I'm a full blooded favored minority. Native American. hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I have blond hair and blue eyes. hahahahahahahahahah. The absurdity of the Federal Government.

Was that a slave-owning Native American or a non-slave-owning Native American?
We can parse the crappolla out of this.
Not sure. I just know that I get all the Federal Benefits Native Americans get for free. The care sucks, but not bad for a fallback so long as you can bully the dumbass doctors at federal clinics. The VA is about the same. I can use that too. Government is absurd

I lol'd. Is Jeffrey really wearing that hat? It is awesome. I am not very good at fashion, but I read all of his articles on grooming and attire. I find the bow tie and hat look charming.

All the statists and Keynesians will look up and shout "Save Us!" and I'll wisper "No."

Yeah, he's wearing it, wouldn't wear it myself, but I guess Jeffrey is going for the soutern gentleman look, I usually enjoy his fashion articles, but hats are not for me. ;)
Giant_Joe: Slavs are slavs when they're picked on as a racial or ethnic group. Same goes for Jews, Anglos, etc... But if any of these people have good things happen to them, they are suddenly considered "white" It's very arbitrary and stupid.

Marko:Which reminds me. Historicaly there has been a lot more racism by whites on whites than by whites on non-whites. Wouldn`t be surprised to learn the same is true in case of blacks and yellows.

The whiteonwhite racism never developed into overt slavery but britain vs ireland is about as bad as you get.
Ancient Rome and Greece?
White bondservants up to the 18th century?
twistedbydsign99: General intelligence is largely genetic.
I'd say that's part of it. Understanding the consequences of government intervention requires long chains of difficult praxeological reasoning. Another part is belonging to a group that is the most productive, demonized, and heavily targeted for exploitation. Plus there's the European intellectual heritage and cultural attitudes.
I just wanna say that I do not consider myself white, although I'm 50% Iranian and 50% Swedish, så my skin tone is a bit brown. I guess that this might explain why blacks are not usually libertarians. When you can see the truth clearly, you're a libertarian, generally blacks just aren't that smart, and hence will not be able to see the world as it is, and so, they are not libertarians. There are some really smart blacks though, and some of them (Sowell among others) are libertarians.

Wow you did not just say that. I've already called the thought police to drag you off to jail (at your expense).I'm reading the wikipedia article now on race and intelligence. I thought that they weren't linked at all and people who said blacks were dumb were just a bunch of nazi racists. I guess I thought the IQ scores differed by like +/- a few % points. I had no idea.............................jasfjk liberal bullies.
Excuse me?
Arvin:Excuse me?
Snowflake: Arvin:Excuse me? I had no idea there was a lot of research showing that race and IQ correlate.
According to Rothbard there is. "The Testing of Negro Intelligence".

Snowflake:Can't wait to quote this source to liberals.
I would never say this flatly in public at the risk of being bullied or lynched. Some of the studies of skull size between the races have been discounted due to a confirmation bias, however the issue is far from settled. That said there is quite a bit of evidence to show that genetics plays a bigger role than environment in determining your defining characteristics.
