    I think that's a minority of idiots that may be overly vocal on the internet etc.
    Don't be a biased drama queen.

  2. Of course it is. But I also live in Atlanta and see plenty of racism from several directions. Luckily most of the hate is directed toward white people (the "good" kind of racism).

    There's idiots everywhere. However wrong those folks may be, I find it curious how much you focus on them. Like they do represent something bigger than they actually are.

    And this comment is also lame and misleading. Do you actually think this is a spot on assertion? I'm asking cause maybe you're just kinda kidding
     
  5. When am I not? This whole thing is preposterous. We're such an amazingly small microcosm. And yet............

    It's a text based forum and nobody knows you personally, so its far from always clear how you mean it. Besides, you also make serious points at times and they're often relating to similar subjects. So yeah... Sometimes you're not (kidding) and it seems worthwile to verify at times (better to wrongly assume the opposite, right?). It's not on your convo partners that its far from always clear

    It's ridiculous
     
  8. I just think all the rescue attempts are hilarious. Most of them are unnecessary. This is one of the few forums where I see automatic life lines being tossed out. The dog piling is pretty normal though, I see that everywhere.

    Yeah, you see... that dog piling and wagons circling are peculiar interpretations. I simply see multiple people caring a bit about what 6-eyed seemingly seriously tries to put forth.

    I’m just calling out hypocrisy when it shows.

    Racism is not a one-way street.

    You still havent explained how what she said was racist. How did it hurt or impact your life negatively as a white person?

    Trump has polarized this country more severely than it ever was in the past. We might even be worse off than during the Civil War. The Republican public policies are terrible, for humans and the environment. The Democrat Party will be correcting all abusive changes which had been brought on by Trump and Pence.

    For the most part that is true. Whites in America think they are superior and above the law. Just have a look at Trump, Pence, and the rest of them Republicans. They like to go to the motel with underage boys, just like that radio talk show host in Texas. Also, you've got another example of Republican behavior in that Head Honcho of the Republican Party in Ohio. He got caught taking it up the rear end inside his own office, in the Ohio State House.

    There is a Native American saying that goes like this. To understand my life, walk a mile in my moccasins.
    That's all EB was saying.

    I will repeat my post above for you.
    Racism is not a characteristic of the white race alone. Racism is a fault of the human species. Everyone has biases.

    The idea that white people cannot be racially sensitive and sympathetic until they wear a different skin color for a while seems kinda racist to me.

    So Trump was aired on Super Bowl Sunday on Fox. I'm a little offended, personally. What the frack dictatorship goat crap is this?!?!?! They're attaching the feeding tubes now...

    EDIT: sorry, wrong thread for this post. But clearly a shameless plug. For re-election... Maybe not wrong. I think in the context of re-election it works here.

    So I was at Cheesecake Factory eating some avocado stuff (avocado egg-rolls & avocado toast - yes, I ordered two things...) and saw him on the television (they have it on Fox for the game). Last night we had dinner at my aunt's house and my dad even said that he was going to do something besides watch the game because he'd heard they were going to do that. He's boycotting it. I'm not watching it either, but I never do; I just check for the score online. Wonder what he said...

    I think she said "certain white people". I didn't take that to mean all or most white people, just ones like you who seem to be devoid of empathy toward non-whites.
