   Someone's really bad at measuring, or there's a "charge!" moment?   
      
   D*** Jousting? I've met guys who would love that as a spectator sport.

   Exactly.  The guilty white liberals cry they were downtroddemn from birth & so   
   have amn unfair disadvantage.   
      
   I invite any of them to listen to or read my favourite Linguistics professor:   
   Dr,. John McWhorter.   
      
   He's unaplogetically black &, in "Losing the Race" he detyails how blacks   
   sabotage themselves(he would be bullied for "talking white" as a kid (i.e.   
   speaking with proper grammar.); he overcame the molasses dragging him downward   
   & moved to the top of any academic vocation: a multi-published PhD.   
      
   He notes how even Jamaica/etc. immigrants, who came her after 1964's ending of   
   legally enforced racism, are dragged down ihn to the African-Amerocvans'   
   downward spirtal in to pure victimhood.   
      
   You've nailed it: it's all about extoling & honoring/rewarding laziness(mental;   
   I wouldn't call a pro football player physically lazy, especially not to his   
   face, or muscles)   
      
   But EVERYONE is claiming victimhood benefits now! & they're all, savbe for the   
   odd individual, full of crap (most of the crap is just brown sticky low self   
   worth, created by ad-based national corporate domination.)   
      
   I was raised differentl I quesrtion all the crap being fed to me -- the ads   
   have no power ovcer me, as I see through to the kernel; of truth.   
      
   "Our soap is better." (yeah, better than if you washed your clothes in crude   
   oil)   
      
   "Our new & upgraded dish soaop is better than our old one!" (so you've   
   successfully ****ed us all over for how long, with a substandard soap, by your   
   very admission? & I'm to trusr your crap NOW??")   
      
   "Have it your way at Burger King" (unless our underage minwage front counter   
   dummy doesn't understand plain English, & trust us, he doesn't; or our cooks   
   are goofing around, tossing food from the floor onto the grill & serving it to   
   you, because we deduct the cost from their teeny paycheques if they don't.)
