Someone's really bad at measuring, or there's a "charge!" moment?

D*** Jousting? I've met guys who would love that as a spectator sport.

Exactly.  The guilty white liberals cry they were downtroddemn from birth & so
have amn unfair disadvantage.

I invite any of them to listen to or read my favourite Linguistics professor:
Dr,. John McWhorter.

He's unaplogetically black &, in "Losing the Race" he detyails how blacks
sabotage themselves(he would be bullied for "talking white" as a kid (i.e.
speaking with proper grammar.); he overcame the molasses dragging him downward
& moved to the top of any academic vocation: a multi-published PhD.

He notes how even Jamaica/etc. immigrants, who came her after 1964's ending of
legally enforced racism, are dragged down ihn to the African-Amerocvans'
downward spirtal in to pure victimhood.

You've nailed it: it's all about extoling & honoring/rewarding laziness(mental;
I wouldn't call a pro football player physically lazy, especially not to his
face, or muscles)

But EVERYONE is claiming victimhood benefits now! & they're all, savbe for the
odd individual, full of crap (most of the crap is just brown sticky low self
worth, created by ad-based national corporate domination.)

I was raised differentl I quesrtion all the crap being fed to me -- the ads
have no power ovcer me, as I see through to the kernel; of truth.

"Our soap is better." (yeah, better than if you washed your clothes in crude
oil)

"Our new & upgraded dish soaop is better than our old one!" (so you've
successfully ****ed us all over for how long, with a substandard soap, by your
very admission? & I'm to trusr your crap NOW??")

"Have it your way at Burger King" (unless our underage minwage front counter
dummy doesn't understand plain English, & trust us, he doesn't; or our cooks
are goofing around, tossing food from the floor onto the grill & serving it to
you, because we deduct the cost from their teeny paycheques if they don't.)
