Comments by "SmallSpoonBrigade" (@SmallSpoonBrigade) on "This Millennial Voter Poll Will SHOCK You" video.
Could we please get through a video without the sexism and racism? There's a reason why you see so many countries where being white is a bit of an advantage, it's because for a couple millennia now the European countries have been contributing far more to the development of science and technology than other areas have been. It will change over time, but let's not pretend like this is something that happened due to skin color, it happened because Europe was fortunate enough to hit a specific milestone at the right time. It could easily have been various Asian or African groups had they developed a bit differently or earlier. As for men, are we really doing that well? Most of the sexual assault allegations that you see in the press are either from decades ago or are people that are too powerful to be able to charge and not get the conviction to stick. By most measures women are doing better than men are, so our patriarchy is pretty shitty.

Of course it was, just because you're blind to it doesn't mean it is. I look at Senators and Representatives I don't see myself in any of them. Doesn't much matter which one it is, none of them remind me of myself. There is no conspiracy here, some groups just aren't doing anything to improve their situation and aren't voting for politicians that might help either. Blacks and LGBTQ folks that voted for Hillary are idiots. She's made it quite clear that she doesn't care about their welfare.

Agreed, there are historical reasons why white men are in the position they are and a lot of it has to do with being the drivers of the most important innovations of the last couple millennia. Having inequality is an issue, but let's not pretend like there's some sort of a conspiracy to keep these people down. There's plenty of white groups that had to deal with the same stuff, the difference is that rather than whining about it, they actually did something about it. These communities have plenty of resources to dig themselves out. Sure, it would be great to offer reasonable assistance, but groups like the Irish managed in spite of a more or less complete lack of help from other groups.
