3rdnlng Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I would suggest not talking to the racist guy, but if you do, mention that he is crusading. 2 1

"Racist" is a slur only to white people who don't understand what "racist" means. Your post is racist. You're more upset about me calling you racist than you are about racism existing. You also think I need to be "credible" to make this point. That's how unwilling you are to consider racism, or white supremacy. "If black people want to be considered people, they need to make a really good argument. Otherwise I am not hearing it." — This is the argument you posted and you see nothing wrong with that. That's the point. What is your solution to black on black violence? 1

Have not and let me say this. There is an awful lot you don't know about me, but what you should know is that there are several black Americans that would run through a brick wall for me and I for them. They'd have my back if ever you or someone like you stated or inferred that I'm somehow racist. I've earned it through actions over decades. Don't know what your objectives are on the subject of the threads you have started but if you're trying to cause positive change, your approach is awful. Just awful.

Calling people racist or whatever without even knowing who they are is very irresponsible and does nothing to push forward your credibility. You can be better. I doubt that he can be better (than that). He's working from a 10 year old play book anyways. The only thing missing when talking about generations past that every town had a "white club" that looked out for every last white person whether it be Irish, Italians, Poles, Greeks, etc.. My paternal grandparents were Germans and they got treated rather shabbily when they came to WNY nearly 100 years ago. Nobody gave them the "white" map to tell them that Germans went here, English went there, Dutch went elsewhere and the hell with everyone else.

Somebody is doing the "I HAVE BLACK FRIENDS" defense. Although since they would "run through a wall for you" it sounds like they're actually not your friends but your "EMPLOYEES"... Do you think it's weird you are speaking for them? And the thing you're doing, in your hypothetical, is making them compliment you? About how you're really good and not racist? But you are aware that, this thing you've "earned over decades" — it's just you telling me that you think Black people like you. You and @billsfan1959 both seem to be convinced because you have SPOKEN to another Black person like a human being... and they didn't spit in your face... that you're anti-racist, and you're "good." It wouldn't occur to you... well I can't finish that sentence. A lot of things wouldn't occur to someone with this mindset. Like how wrong it is, for example. 3 minutes ago, Reality Check said: What is your solution to black on black violence? What is your solution to black on black violence? This is one of those KKK talking points I am referring to, btw! Anytime "unarmed innocent black people killed by police" comes up, you can absolutely set your watch to the KKK among you to bring up "Black on black violence!" and "Chicago!" "White genocide" is another huge one. And I know some of you genuinely think this, because these message boards have a Search function. I SEE YOOOOOOU 1
