The Fallacy of White Privilege

[McC]

This thread illustrates exactly what is going on in America now. It's more important to defend one's predetermined stance on anything, on any problem, any issue than to in any way try to solve it. Let's stand here and argue about it, point fingers, lay blame. Meanwhile, while we're doing all this, the problem remains and we as a people become more and more divided. And you know what they say--divided we fall.

When did we get to this place where we had to have everyone think just like we do or they're idiots? The idea of compromise has left this planet. Maybe gone forever.

Self interest is having an awful effect on the human race. The idea of independence for this former colony might have been formed by a few extraordinary individuals, as great ideas tend to be, but it was accomplished with cooperation.

When we're this busy arguing with each other, the idea of cooperation is nowhere to be found. Will the human race really allow selfishness to bring it down?
