    I LOLed.

    My fella and I had a (heated) discussion about this last night. I am definitely able to see why someone telling you to "check your privilege" is presumptuous to the nth. I've never said that to anyone I didn't know exceedingly intimately and only with any frequency to myself.

    What generated from last night's debate was a general distaste for the idea of anyone presuming to know more about a person's lived experience than the person knows himself. That's the most egregious thing about the professor's actions in the original post. Telling a black student that every white person he ever met is racist discredits his own experiences, which may be to the contrary. Likewise, telling a white student such a thing presumes all sorts of things about his life that may or may not have a thing to do with the life he lived up to that point. Of course, we know very little about the context of that professor's statements and what caveats and conditions might have been included. I wish that humans were as interested in examining and critiquing ourselves as we are others. And god knows, I am not exempt.

    People are so dumb holy shit. I don't even have the energy to debunk such a stupid quote. People of every race can be racist, and not all white people are racist.

    Yes, that's the precise point. Telling me I'm a racist for just being white is no better than saying I'm an asshole because, well, ALL white people are assholes. It's an absolutely racist position, even with a white guy saying it.

    Earlier this morning I went out with my lady for dinner and movie. We were listening to a new rap artist I'd been getting into. I never liked him to begin with but now I'm really enjoying the blatant terribleness of it and I think it's so bad that it's actually good.

    Anyway we got no idea what he looks like. Before I even downloaded an album I stereotyped the rappers name. Machine Gun Kelly. I knew he'd be some white dude and after listening to nothing but half a song we stereotyped this dude over nothing but a name, a style and vocals.

    We decided this guy was going to be of small-medium height, short hair and real skinny with tattoos. But not just any tattoos. These had to be bad jail tattoos inked all over his body. The guy represented Cleveland in the half song we listened to. So, nothing short of white trash is what we stereotyped.

    How do you think we went?

    Seriously?

    Who has so much time on their hands that they can actually get around to giving a damn what this guy said anyway?

    I was riding in a cab in a large city Tuesday. Black cabbie, listening to pro racist crap on the radio. I told mom, who was with me,"why can't we all just get along? I don't get it".
    Noticed he was very pleasant afterwards.

    I just wish they would stop trying to incite trouble. Rudy Giuliani said it best..."When someone gets hurt in NYC, they don't care if your're white, black, red or brown, they just come, to save you."
    "What happened to one America? Where did it go?"

    Good lesson.

    The hard left is what happened. The hunger for control has turned them into a "by any means necessary" guerilla army. As liberal as I am, I can't be around militant, always complaining, always looking for trouble, depressed commie emulators for very long.

    Since many African Americans suffer from Post-Traumatic Slavery Disorder (PTSD) by default any person claiming to be white is de facto racist

    Oh, yeah...there are white furry creatures...but that is their fur and not their skin. Are albinos even really white skinned?

    There's actually a family in Tennessee who are blue skinned. Their skin is translucent and the blue hue is due to the oxygen deprived blood in their veins.

    I am actually very sad and disgusted to see this is happening in the UK.

    To be white, is to be white. All individuals are created unequal in some form or another. Human Beings. Lol

    I found this to be very telling:

    There is only 1 group of people in the US who voted almost evenly, yep, those evil racist white people. The black and hispanic voters have a massive political bias. How could this be? On the surface it seems like less than 50% of white voters are "racists" who voted for Trump. Does that mean the white people who voted for Hillary are NOT racists?

    Or could it possibly indicate that the whole concept of "racism" is useless if only 1 race can be guilty of it? Folks, this is really the ugly side of marxism that preys on primitive thinking. It's time to modernize the conversation.
