How many should you have then?

17.

However, half can be from Facebook and another 4.5 from other social media. You can even count black friends on here.

See, I'm trying to have more faith than that. I mean, outside of joining the KKK or the like I don't see the point of doing this. It's like they're trying to invalidate our experiences as black people, or even worse, make it seem like WE'RE the problem...

I love Marvin logic

Anyone that judges all black people as a whole is a racist

All white people have white privilege

Throw in a good Chris rock joke about cars as proof.

Presto. The whole world is out to undermine black society.

So you think Alabama is welcoming to black people? Besides you of course because you are welcoming to black people.

But dude, I'm from Tennessee. I know the South... Alabama and Mississippi are the scariest states alive for black people.

but yet there are so darn many of them there

Um, the joke isn't one. That actually happened to him.

1) Don't think your ghey clown face makes your mean words seem less hurtful.

2) You lived in Tennessee. That's pretty much north of everywhere I have lived in the US except a brief stint in Alaska, Yankee.

3) I have TWO, so I am above the law.

1) Don't copy off of me. I used this on another post you sent me. lol

3) If you get one more black friend you will be crossing over to the dark side.

They are. Anyone that judges ANY race as a whole is a hole. So you are saying that all white men are the same? I am sure there are some who would disagree with you.

So darn many in concentrated areas. They don't leave outside of those areas. And I doubt blacks are flocking there by the millions.

White privilege isn't racism, though it can contribute to closed mindedness and prejudice.

I know white privilege isn't racism.

This dude thinks it is okay to judge a race as a whole. Are you the same as someone else because you share the same pigmentation?

Please answer this for me.

You make a lot of assumptions based on very limited information. Many of the views he is objecting to are being promoted by people who are active on this forum, yourself included.

If you're going to take issue with that, start there.

play badminton.

play badminton.

Ow that's really cute Charles!

What is wrong with the fact that I play badminton? I'm good at it.

[Boiler 45,536]

Case in point.

The point is I am not getting it and everybody else seemingly is.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

play badminton.

Are you saying black people can't excel at badminton. Shame on you

I find that rather offensive, since you have never heard me say anything bad about black people. For the record, I doubt you could find another white person who gives any more respect to folks like you for no reason at all other than because they are human; even if my words may come across harsh or wrong on here, my heart has always been in the right place. (I did accuse YOU of whining about oppression, but that was because I know the past 20+ years of your life have been anything but oppressive. That was not directed towards blacks in general, because none of the ones I know IRL ever talk like this, at least not to me. Maybe because they don't have the internet between us, in all fairness.)

But I can take a hint. I'll shut up. I have black friends IRL and we see things in a different light than you and others here. I can't change your beliefs, nor you mine. I just live in my world, and try to ignore the negativity that is outside my realm and beyond my influence. I wish you the best in your quest, peace in your life, and happiness in your new civilian job.

FTR, I wasn't talking about you. My comment was more directed at the folks who have nothing but disparity and disdain for black and brown people. Should have made that clear, but in context, I could see why you thought it was aimed at it.

TBH, I find it offensive that folks(not exactly you, but you've done it a few times) here tend to try and chastise myself and Janelle when we're made part of the discussion. Very few speak out when someone says black people are thugs, or feral youths, or the random hate filled message is written here. We're always called out, ALWAYS. There's some seriously racist comments that get made, and yet when we point it out, we're in the wrong.
