Excuse me, but there is nothing for me to learn, as I already know it all. Who are you to pass judgment, in any event. Your avatar is contemptible. I need no greetings from the likes of you. I hold you in no high esteem. Who are you? I would like to know which guttersnipe revealed that I was banned for 3 days, as if that is supposed to be public knowledge. Evil is apparently everywhere....and one can be banned for hyperbole, or a mere nothing. It means nothing to me.
Hey yeah... got your message. um.. Ima militant on racial issues. Have no worries, I gotcha back.. jeez... gotch back on gay issues too. We have too many family friends who are gay and a couple who are trannys... So you know we already know.
Oh, please. It's not me that thinks too highly of myself. I have my feet planted firmly on the ground. Thanks to an amazing parent, and life's hard knocks that I have triumphed over.
You are but a member of the peanut gallery, who can't see beyond their boxes, and are so frustrated that you've been dealt peanuts instead of cashews, you look around for someone to blame. Excuse me, but the truth of the matter is because of "white privilege", there is no excuse for any whites not realizing the American Dream, except themselves. Black people have had to deal with not only institutionalized racism, but Jim Crow stereotypes, negative perceptions, and less than 100 % of our civil rights, for years. When you deprive people of not only their opportunity, but their dignity, as well, you place them in survival mode. And all God's creatures want to survive. It's instinctive. And so they do, what they must do.
I get on these forums and I vent, and bitch, and I get out my frustrations, instead of holding them in, and making me toxic. But for someone to extrapolate that I am somehow devoid of life and laughter, and that I have lost perspective is a little melodramatic. I'm fine.
Unsolicited "tough love", is neither wanted nor needed....save that for your family.
I know exactly whom my true friends are. Few are in here. I'm in my right mind.........at least, today.
The point is that you are so far conceited on your views that you forgot what life is supposed to be about. You seem to have concluded that your life is for a cause that has been won many years ago but yet you do not let go and continue a fight that is starting to make you look as bigoted as those you fight against. I agree that racism still exist and I am against it but if you cannot look at a picture that was posted against a mod here that was meant for laugh and see nothing but hate then I would have to conclude myself that you may of lost the meaning of life. Life is about laughter. I learned that a long time ago. If you are not able to remove yourself from that which takes such a toll on your life that you are unable to do such an expression that heals all then I do not know what else to say to you. I pretty much know what your response will be and that is ok. I respect you and your opinion but wanted to show you what many others may see in you when you post. Call it tough love or call it ignorance but true friends are ones who are willing to do both to get a point across.
I ask you, what is the point of having an animated avatar of a black child saying the word "racist", while having the caption "racist" at the bottom? What are you trying to say?
Do you think that that is somehow clever? Do you think it's in good taste? What exactly are you saying?
Double standards? I fail to see the logic.
Any respect you may of had has disapated because I am showing you your flaws? Is that the reason? Man, you really need to stop with the double standards.
What? See, that's what you get for listening to the peanut gallery, instead of thinking for yourself. Just because others choose to label me a racist because I point out their racist tendencies and tactics...in no way signifies that I am. Invayne has no problem using the "n-word", written out, yet, she calls me a racist. I have never called any white person here by a racial epithet, nor will I...because I'm am not like that, no matter what you've heard.
And race, contrary to popular belief is not always an issue with me...I would love to have color-blind commentary, but the racists on this board, won't allow it. I'm viewed as "uppity", another word for the "n-word". And although I have command of the English language, I don't think myself better than anyone, but I'll be damned if I allow anyone to second guess me or tell me that I'm not.
I suggest you are being led by the others that despise me for my calling them out.
How could I be racist, when I have German, Irish, French, Spanish, Native American, and African ancestry? My cousin is a great grand niece of Will Rogers. And I have two cousins who are half-Italian. What? Make sense.
