Do you object to the statement that white people, men especially have privilege in this society?

all white men in the US have an advantage over others in this society and most everywhere else. You won the genetic lottery dude. Just because you couldn't do anything with it doesn't change the fact that you have advantages.

if you were a black man with the same history of criminality, intergenerational welfare dependency, and drug addiction that you have, you'd be in prison right now.

Pendulums swing. It is what they do. Public attitudes and politics operate like a pendulum. It might be a bad idea to fight that.
It makes much more sense to have progressive goals and yet a large enough tent for local candidates to seek a strategy that is going to win. If they end up somewhere to the center of where you would like them to be - then show them the way. But win the fucking election first.
Of course you need to do this with 110% purity in order not to offend the more sensitive types.

Even Rawn Pawl managed to get his message to black people somehow. WTF is Bernard's excuse?

Anytime a soldier wants to talk to me about PTSD I will take whatever time it requires to listen. And if he wants some flower all he has to do is ask. No explanations needed.
We need to put those who send them into wars for profit in prison.

AC asked an honest question based on fact. Sanders supporters wilt when their unjustified belief is challenged.

If your story is that you are a wounded vet who was jobbed by the VA, you have my thanks for and respect for serving. The VA is guilty of many things including the way it discards it's wounded when they are no longer useful. I agree this is wrong.
Still man, cynicism is a well of excuses.
your service history doesn't make me willing to accept your cynicism and strange beliefs.

How many times does Pad have to beat you over the head with Bernie's minority approval numbers before you drop this line of shit, anyway?
All it does is cost you credibility.

@Padawanbater2 time to trot those minority Bernie approval numbers out, AGAIN.
Apparently they're only facts when they say what Buck wants to hear.

How exactly is this derived from my statement? How is my statement of fact an indication of who I support? Please clarify your argument.
Also please reconcile the very sound (sarcasm) argument you are about to make with this statement you previously made:
