For what it's worth, the poster who said "AmeriKKKan institutions" turned out to be a perp and has been gone from GC for a while.

So they have something in common with the one who was so offended by it..

[shinerbock]

No i'm still here.

[greekalum]

I said something, not everything.

[shinerbock]

Haha, well i'm no perp, thankfully I'm well connected and those charges were dropped. Case dismissed.

Maybe, I dunno. I just remember PHA Shriner used to say things like that. Didn't he leave after he made another sn and tried to say that he's an Iota?

That's who I thought you were talking about. I don't want to speak him into existence again so I won't comment any further.

lmao got it

True. However, the idea that "opportunity hoarding" is negative is a new one to me. I don't know what the alternative would be, perhaps opportunity redistribution, which I would clearly stand against.

shinerbock, why are you here if GC is so antithetical to your "fratty" worldview? It's rich, really, to hear you complaining about knee-jerk thinking and lack of tolerance for different opinions when, if a self-professed liberal decided to stir things up on "your turf," he or she would be met with invitations to drink bleach cocktails, among the milder epithets.

It is new to you because you haven't read the abundance of literature on class, gender, and racial inequality.

You stand against opportunity redistribution because you fall under the Functionalist paradigm of inequality (the status quo exists simply because it creates balance--similar to the biological/inherent inferiority models posited by Herrnstein and Murray's The Bell Curve and human capital arguments that argue that inequality exists simply because some people have better skills and try harder than others) and you don't understand that discrimination is based on outcome regardless of intent.
