Well, I'm not a native English speaker, but I'm quite sure the expression is "to die for". If you say your job was "literally to die for" , you literally say that it's not a turn of phrase. Since that is the meaning of "literally". Which makes your claim you had high end jobs less believable. Unless it didn't involve speaking English.... looks like you need to brush up on your vocabulary and the nuances of the English language.

Also lol@using a far left institution as a credible source. The article at the end says there isn't direct evidence of Steve Bannon being antisemitic. But trying to discredit the ADL by calling it a "far left institution" is just sad. The ADL and the SPLC have completely discredited themselves with the pursuits of Keith Ellison, Maajid Nawaz and many others. Neither of them represent the liberal societies they once worked for, same with the ACLU.

If you say your job was "literally to die for" , you literally say that it's not a turn of phrase. Since that is the meaning of "literally". Which makes your claim you had high end jobs less believable. Unless it didn't involve speaking English.... That is definitely not true. As I am not a native speaker either, I'll let Merriam-Webster do the explaining:
"Can literally mean figuratively?
One of the definitions of literally that we provide is "in effect, virtuallyโused in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible." Some find this objectionable on the grounds that it is not the primary meaning of the word, "with the meaning of each individual word given exactly." However, this extended definition of literally is commonly used and is not quite the same meaning as figuratively ("with a meaning that is metaphorical rather than literal").
Is the extended use of literally new?
The "in effect; virtually" meaning of literally is not a new sense. It has been in regular use since the 18th century and may be found in the writings of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontรซ, James Joyce, and many others.
Is the extended use of literally slang?
Among the meaning of literally is one which many people find problematic: "in effect, virtuallyโused in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible." Neither this nor any of the other meanings of literally is what we would consider slang. This sense has been in standard use by many esteemed writers since the 18th century."
Fair enough.
But the expression "to die for" is already very much exaggerating, since this is already not true or possible. So to throw in an extra "literally" into the mix is getting rather ridicoulous.
If "I had a jov that was to die for" doesn't do justice to her curriculum in such a way it needed an extra "literally" I'm very much intriged to what those jobs were.
Not sure if irl1 is referring to me, but I think Mojo can hold her own in a grammar discussion.

The issue that you, the poster of the video, the pundit, and the Fox reporters missed is the assumption that white privilege is something that all white people are guilty of by default. No amount of effort will ever atone for it or have the label removed due to its definition. To say that a racial group are guilty of an inherent characteristic due to the color of their skin is the very definition of racism.
If the left were to end their witch hunt, and present unfairness, racism and ineqaulity in society as racial injustice and discrimination instead of slandering an entire race, one that is in the throes of an ethnonationalist surge, evidenced by Trump's popularity, they could sway the opinions of many more people and make life better for millions.

It's not really your fault that you think these ideas are anywhere on the spectrum of what most people would consider a respectful and equal unification of people from various backgrounds. For a lot of you, you were raised this way. It's been bred into you. You have the power to work hard and reap the dream that you've been sold. The world is a harsh place and you deserve a better lot in life than those "others" because they're "lazy" and "cheating the system". This all seems perfectly rational to you because it's your base frame of reference. "They" deserve what they get. You've been told that everyone has the same opportunity and that controls are in place to level the playing field for all types of people (even though you know these kinds of controls aren't really necessary because gosh darn it if you work hard enough, you WILL live the dream). It's ok that you feel so strongly that this is the case. It's also ok to change your mind. You're fighting against a clear message to unify by disingenuously calling it dividing. I'm talking to all of you, you know who you are. Bred into you? That's the first actual racist thing that's been said in this thread.

At no point did I say nor allude that I view anyone as an "other", "lazy", "cheating the system", or that I deserved better. There is nothing wrong with equality, it's a human right. Equity is where the issue is. it's ok to recognize that this aren't equal, to say so, and to make changes because of it. But I get it, you worked hard and the "others" are "lazy" and "cheating the system". You deserve to be better

Funny you say that because when you read down the list of items, the real things are in the bottom and things based on fear and the exact way of thinking that's in question in this thread is on the top. Weird.

Everyone is entitled to equality of opportunity in a free and equal society. They are not entitled to the same outcome.

You're almost there.

The issue that you, the poster of the video, the pundit, and the Fox reporters missed is the assumption that white privilege is something that all white people are guilty of by default. No amount of effort will ever atone for it or have the label removed due to its definition. To say that a racial group are guilty of an inherent characteristic due to the color of their skin is the very definition of racism.ย If the left were to end their witch hunt, and present unfairness, racism and ineqaulity in society as racial injustice and discrimination instead of slandering an entire race, one that is in the throes of an ethnonationalist surge, evidenced by Trump's popularity, they could sway the opinions of many more people and make life better for millions.ย
Utter tosh. All white people aren't guilty by default and I don't think many think this way. Societies have a lot of levelling up to do, but individuals are only guilty if they abuse privilege or fail to acknowledge there is a problem within society.
There is no witch hunt from the left. And there is no slandering of entire races coming from those who are appalled by discrimination.
You might be right that it may be impossible to atone for historical injustices but that's no reason to not endeavour.

We get it. All white people are racist. This is the starting point that bob is pointing out as a non starter. hmm, no one said that, maybe that's why you're hung up. Is that what you believe?
I can find plenty of posts and writings that espouse this very belief. You really arenโt very close to the arguments that are being made.

You are made to admit your complicity, regardless of your beliefs and personal virtues in order to become an "ally".
It's racist, pure and simple. If the same logic was applied to other races the left would be appalled.

My pride comes from my parents and their parents before them. Anyone who feels deserving, should feel pride of their heritage. Regardless if they are white, black, or even british. Viva La Raza Also the print is shit, but for $50 it's hard to be a bad deal. Do you know what supremacist means? Hint: it's not "pride."
