Confirmed awful bluff. No wonder your staked. lulz


OP why are you flatting 3bets with QQ vs short stacks? lulz

Or maybe white-privilege is marxist nonsense and is quite easily exposed as such, so instead of engaging in healthy debate with those who oppose the idea, many of the people advocating and promoting white-privilege have pathologised the arguments against it to perniciously discredit their opponents and, in the eyes of the more extreme proponents/manipulable supporters, eliminate the need for a debate entirely? Why argue the merits of your righteous ideology when your opponents are clearly suffering from white-fragility...

Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.

What I miss fellas?

yeah, 75% white, 25% gay, #ukgaycrew ldo

monkaHmmm

multiple things i dislike about these two posts

Having Qh is very hurtful. Without it would be fine. It could be arguably ok exploitably anyway, until he calls AT, then it's atrocious!

this

i know

Interesting perspective. Can you explain why it's nonsense?

I realise that it's probably a very dangerous idea having this kinda debate over the internet, especially since i haven't read the entire book. I'd also like time to decide where i land wrt to the concept of white fragility as oppose to going into something all guns blazing.

I do find it your post on this topic interesting though and actually wanna hear more if you're willing.

you're a smart cookie, i'm sure you can figure it out!

Was this even a joke gaz? Can also confirm that i'm actually only half white

race chat innit. Well, actually, just me posting the cover of a book

haha ffs

Can a mod please ban smb from posting here ty

I can explain but I'm not sure if you or many of the readers here would want the thread to go down that path.
If your'e genuinely interested then we can move this convo to skype or something..

Like the above poster says, I can flesh out my thoughts in greater detail than I will below, although I'm also not sure this is the right place and consider it a potential lapse of judgement on my part for using this forum as a place to pass comment on the matter.

One thing I will re-iterate though is that I do firmly believe white-privilege (at least in the form that many vociferous proponents understand it), is an inherently racist ideology. It essentially seeks to address a (possibly perceived) societal inequality by condemning an entire group of people based on skin-colour and the crimes of their ancestors, and gives little to no consideration to the vast amount of random, non-race based differences that are more likely to create inequality and "privilege" for a select few.

Whilst this is clearly a crude example, a good looking, above average IQ, socially adept black person from a solid family is clearly, through no fault of their own, greatly advantaged over a white person from a poor background with the opposite traits. And yet, the doctrine of white-privilege assumes that the white person has some inherent advantage over the black person merely for being white, whilst largely ignoring the vast array of other factors that are more likely to lead to inequality.

Whilst there are many highly intelligent people who may present their ideas in a way that isn't immediately dangerous, I see little meaningful difference between the supportive furore generated for left/far-left ideas like white-privilege, and the intense support right/far-right ideas like ethno-nationalism have the power to create. Both sets of ideas are equally dangerous in their ability to create ideologues and tear down societies; the key difference being that white-privilege and other way left of centre ideologies seem to have a degree of social-acceptability and institutional power (professors, celebrities endorsing it, etc) whereas the way right of centre ideas are much more widely seen as abhorrent. In a way that makes the far-left ideas more dangerous at this point in time.

I think the superior social-acceptability of far-left ideas exists because the potentially devastating consequences of far-right ideology are way easier to identify and recognise, especially when using historical comparisons. The dangers of far-left thinking are much more subtle, but you don't need to be a big history buff to understand that extreme, ideologically possessed politics on both sides of the spectrum led to some of the most unimaginable occurrences in modern human history during the 20th century.


I've already written way more than I set out to but feel free to get in touch and we can discuss things further. I'm also open to looking into the matter more to see if my understanding is misguided, but my read on the situation is that the whole white-privilege/BLM type movements are marketed as tools for tackling inequality, when in actual fact they are tools for division along racial lines. Pretty scary ****.

Haha yes it was genuinely didn't know you considered yourself half white though, despite knowing your heritage I would've thought you thought you were 100% white...

woof

I assume it's something awful like to 'keep his bluffs' in?

I didn't read the post in question, but this post coupled with the username is actual 10/10 bants

scared of AA

So you're saying that a black man who is successful, wealthy, well-connected, famous, living in a nice neighbourhood is immune from the prejudices inherent to their being part of an historically disadvantaged group... I say...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-gunpoint-home

This is just one example counter to that from the last few days.

Don't want to contribute to a derail if the consensus is to leave this but I think this is one of the more important issues of current social change, and OP brought it up, so I thought I'd try to balance things out a bit as most posts seem to be critical to OP's willingness to consider the issue of white privilege.

Yeah this does have the potential to destroy the thread Let's leave it for now then

Some food for thought here definitely. There are certain aspects, particularly the opening example that while i can see the logic, it feels to wildly miss some extremely important elements for consideration.

Thanks for taking the time - it's good for me to collate a whole load of different bits of information so as to make a well rounded opinion of my own.

haha yeah. i guess we've never spoken about it. I tend to oscillate between being mixed race and white, usually depending on the people i'm with/how i want to be perceived.

haha A+

you got it mate! well done

and obviously ALWAYS scared of AA

Thanks for adding this bit Lucas!

500z was great today so i put in the first session of August. Unfortunately i got rekt in most all ins and got every bluff called!



vs my pig friend ishter. tank calls the river like a god, and by god, i mean dog. Tough spot m8



sick vs humongous rec



vs different, but equally bad rec. Would value shove TT+ here. Maybe i should just have no bluffs otr once he calls turn. guess i win sometimes vs turned smaller fd's and 67's



This was a shut-your-eyes-and-shove vs weak new reg/rec thing. Gave me the full time bank fold



Same again tomorrow but hopefully with some wins to report. I tell you what, posting a losing graph 6/7 days is absolutely no fun

glgl

EDIT:

Here are some goals for August.

[ ] A game
[ ] 40k hands
[ ] Win some thrice cash off 464 to celebrate his birthday
[ ] Cash EPT (or whatever it is now) Barca
[ ] Finish reading white fragility book

Heading to Vienna around the 25th for the birthday then flying straight to barca for the series, beach and partying. Intend on playing the 5k and possibly the 1+2k IPT events

Your point aside, that's a pretty poor example given that the cop is acting on a specific description of the suspect in this case. You end up exemplifying the slippery slope the gentlemen above are detailing wrt to slapping these labels on to things too liberally and neglecting a more thorough case to case consideration.

Love your 3D and you seem such a nice person! Which origins do you have if I might ask?

.

This can only mean one thing imo...

Loool.

Ye fair enough man. Obv the whole concept cannot be proven or disproved with a silly hypothetical situation comparing a mere two individuals. Whether it exists or doesn't, it's far too complex for that.

I've spoken with Lucas privately and have asked him to maybe send me a lecture or podcast on the subject. I've heard extensive speeches by Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson and I found their arguments against WP compelling. However, it seems the supporters I've heard haven't been such masterful public speakers / debaters like the two mentioned so it's hardly a fair debate being created in my mind.

If you know of any debates or speeches that I can listen to in favour of WP I'd really like that. Fully open to the possibility I've got it wrong and can be convinced so.

Don't want to fuel the flames, but this article explains elements of WP pretty well. Also looks at examples whereby WP is confused with class privilege, gender privilege, naturalised citizen privilege, intellect privilege and a number of other things.
