Libs, give me a real world example of someone who cannot achieve the American dream
- Thread starter HighStickHarry
- Start date
Almost 24 hours later and there are no takers? Color me shocked! I expected the usual mantra of blacks, women, homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, latinos, Muslims .....
Only 3? I forgot the category about floppy ears.I was goIng to say Barack Obama, but he fits into 3 of those categories....
Not even an attempt by our little darlings after last nights shit show. Just an emotional meltdown by sys in the other thread.
I started at minimum wage at 16 and left it behind before I was 17. But somehow people are on it in their fifties. There probably exists a scenario in which someone actually gets beat down by poverty, I just want to see it.
Not a situation where life line after life line is ignored.
Say you had kids from a rape. That is nothing to be ashamed about, however libs and a lot of repubs support abortion in those cases. Libs probably expect it. Especially if you are poor and minority.

Lets set our expectations low to start.

Your social justice powers are needed in this thread.

There are people out there that can not achieve the American Dream but they have severe mental or physical disabilities.
Stupid question. Let me ask you one - is there true equal opportunity or are there built-in advantages or disadvantages for subsets of the American populace?

Just as dumb, no, more dumb. There are built in advantages and disadvantages for certain subsets within every nation's populace. Welcome to life turds.
The difference here are white cucks who want to sacrifice our culture in order to get likes on social media and act as if their virtue signaling somehow means they are more enlightened and superior.
Oh good....NZPoke on steroids.
This should be fun.
This should be fun.
Does everybody retain the innate ability to make a "good" decision in a given situation?
Afraid of a simple question? Change your handle to PepeDePussy.Says the ruhtard that said

No, which explains variations but is not in and of itself an excuse for individual choices.
Does everybody enjoy the freedom to make said "good" choice?
WTF does that question mean? If one is free to make a choice is orthogonal to whether the choice is "good" or "bad". Make your point Socrates.
After all this talk from you about unequal opportunity (it's called deflection) you still have not given one example of someone who cannot achieve the American dream. Are we to assume you can't think of one?
All this talk? I asked a question. You have an answer?
As to the OP - America affords a tremendous oppty for most citizens to prosper. You would have to clarify American Dream for a more specific answer.
You joined the conversation by calling the original question a "stupid question," and proceeded to deflect by asking your own question. The whole conversation degenerated from there. You ignored the original question and tried to divert attention to inequality. Most people responded that of course there is inequality of opportunity. I agree: there is inequality of opportunity. But that's a far cry from there being NO opportunity, which was the point of the original question. A point you have pointedly ignored.
Oh, you thought of not one but two. Please explain what has held them back. I am unfamiliar with their names or stories.
Well thank you! Been busy lately but I had some free time today. Sadly, I'm back on the road tomorrow.
I can't tell if you're missing the point of the original question on purpose, because you're that dense, or if you are once again deflecting from giving an appropriate answer.
Lavontay White Jr. was killed in the usual Chicago gang war retaliatory culture. So, outside of senseless black on black crime that everybody seems to shrug their shoulders about, how can we know what his opportunities would have been or not?
Charlotte Bacon was killed by a psycho who shot up an elementary school. It's interesting that we can somehow manage to protect banks with armed security but not our elementary schools. Again, another homicide, so how can we know what her opportunities would have been or not?
So, I'm assuming you're saying that victims of homicide can't achieve the American Dream. I concur. Probably true for kids that die in car crashes, house fires, drowning, from cancer, and even dog attacks too.
Shit happens. Sometimes really bad shit. Some of it people opt into, sometimes it finds them. To cavalierly proclaim the American Dream is open to all ignores the simple facts of Life.
Some people earn their way, some people receive prosperity as a birthday right. Some never get the chance to see what they can be. And yes some piss away opportunity by making bad choices.
A little ****ing humility and gratitude would go along way in this country...

Duh. I see bad shit all of the time from all walks of life. What does that have to do with the OP outside of dead people don't get to pursue anything once dead? Or is that the actual point you wanted to make?
It's a crappy question, appealing to a cheerleader mentality. You go ahead and cheer.
Of course there are advantages out there. Having a symmetrical face has been proven to be one. Having a terrible personality sets you back. Having a shitty childhood is a disadvantage. But being thirty and grasping at that? No way.
