Once we get back to actual weather I’m sure he will come back.

I selfishly hope so, especially with the hurricane season possibly being another bad one, as his wx posts provide solid objective data for us to interpret however we desire, but whatever decision he makes will be fully respected by me. He may just want a break like the one I took recently. Or maybe he won't return, unfortunately.

Come on now he’s only had 40 years to do something...8 years in the second highest office of the land. All talk, no action.

Right when everyone says how great Biden would be for insert thing here I just laugh he could have done everything by now in his years in Washington and has done nothing

Yeah Trump is a bunch of stuff but come on already

I doubt that's the only thing keeping him away, but I'm curious. Was there a way to still keep his post? Maybe he thought he was being singled out at no fault of his own.

The deleted post would have had to have been manually removed from his comment and would have left his post there with no real reason for it to be there. If he felt that he was being singled out sorry but when threads are getting numerous rapid posts some posts has to be the first deleted and it takes time to delete them all

The whole “white privilege” is complete idiocy even if a person does believe it exists at heart. If you want someone to understand your issue, you need to be much more tactful instead of saying they are what amounts to “unconscious racists”. You pretty much switch off most people’s understanding at that point.

Thankfully I haven't had to deal with stuff like this in the military. While I have certainly gotten a belly full of it since retiring it still boggles my mind that something like "white privilege" is even a thing......I don't do social media but watching white people be criticized and then apologize is just asinine. At some point you have to grow up and move on from this childish bunk
 
"Biden leads Trump by 8 nationally in Quinnipiac poll"

"The poll shows Biden ahead of Trump, 49 percent to 41 percent among registered voters nationwide. That's a significant lead, sitting outside the survey's 2.7 percentage-point margin of error, albeit smaller than the 11-point lead Biden held in a similar Quinnipiac poll released last month."

"White privileged" is a phrase that falls into the bigotry category and, therefore, is highly divisive and inflammatory. It is generalizing and in a bad way. What about the numerous white folks who have worked so hard all of their lives to support their family? It is insulting that this phrase exists.

Just watch the left continue to try to tear the country apart and divide us even more than we are and maybe you will change your mind by November.

Did you write in during 2016?

Yes I did. Overall Trump is better than Biden but I just can't abide some of his harsh rhetoric and narcissism. As for white privilege, I am white and have never been given ANYTHING by the government to help me in my business, education, loans or anything else(they have hindered me some however). I have also been stopped by a police officer for no apparent reason and given a dubious citation a couple of times although I haven't been shot yet, perhaps because I was not combative or resisting an arrest or receiving a citation for something I felt was frivolous

I've been pulled over by cop and made to get out of my car to do a breathalyzer test and also other tests to see if I was driving drunk.. I had not been drinking at all. It happens.

well if your black you can’t talk about white privileged just like I can’t talk about how hard it is to be black because I’m white. Again it was just a question and if you don’t feel comfortable with it we will move on.

I’m white but I just don’t see why it matters.

Doesn’t matter. Using that as your basis when trying to make a point is the same as the conversation going like this.

You: I’m right
Me: No You are not
You: Yes I am but you are just too dumb to see it.

At that point I would laugh and walk off.

I graduated last year and was in the interview/application phase for a while when looking for a job. Let me tell you, white privilege is definitely nothing a thing in that process. If anything it’s the opposite.

Pretty soon it will be the opposite if what some of these corporations are doing catches on.
 
Many here do not understand what white privilege means....it does not mean that you get anything special for being white, or that you are expected to be handed stuff for the color of your skin. It just means that you dont have to worry if your skin color is preventing you from getting a loan, or buying a car at a good rate, or getting a job etc...

This video does a decent job of explaining it I think.....heck dont call it white privilege it doesnt matter what you call it and saying something like this exist does not attack white people or demean their accomplishments....

For the record, I think the incomprehensible, incompetent, insincere, incapable, incoherent, illusionary, invisible, Joe Biden will win. He just has to allow Trump to keep sticking his foot in his big mouth and say nothing (which is what Liberals do anyway). It is very very difficult to see myself voting for Trump but impossible to vote for Biden so I will write in a name most likely.

Bill Weld. It’s who I’m voting for. Libertarian candidate.
