Throwing tantrums..

"we have balls"

 

Repeating the rules of an election = broken record, throwing fits and creating rules from out our ahem to justify these tantrums = creative. 

 

Good ones. 

 

 

That makes no sense. Sounds like Covfefe. You took words from my post and threw them up into the air and it rained convfefe ....ehem.... confetti soup.

What does it matter whether or not it's documented? Humans came from the same place. 

 

The argument of history already has no bearing on today since people today don't experience the sort of stuff they're arguing against. No one can name a living black person who was brought over here as a slave. Pretty much everyone who ever experienced the Holocaust (and survived) is dead, and I'm pretty sure Trump is nothing like Hitler. The KKK that systematically committed atrocious acts upon black people is long gone, and are relegated to whining amongst their own echo chambers in cities/congregations or in corners of the internet like Stormfront. So, basically no worse than expressed racism from virtually everyone else.

 

The comparison to these things actually diminishes what people who were subject to these circumstances went through.. not that tantrum throwers care, because they're merely trying to get their way by lashing out like a 5 year old at anything they disagree with. The continued focus on white people (from other white people) comes primarily from those who both want to get their way politically, and/or those who feel excessive amount of guilt for things other people did and think overreacting is the way to get moral penance. 

Tbh there actually are still holocaust survivors alive today but they won't be here much longer. Which makes it all that more important to listen to them and their stories while we still can. The holocaust deniers are waiting for the day they are gone and counting on it being even easier to deny and forget about once no one is alive who lived through it and they can keep claiming any footage is fake. I do agree with you though what matters is today. Does any holocaust survivor still alive deserve compensation? Absolutely. Had there been any black slaves still alive would they? Of course. Do they today? No, nor would a 4th or 5th generation of survivors in 50 years. People shouldn't live in the past. If I met a German today whose grandparent was a Nazi I would have no problem being friends; they did nothing to me.

Can you explain your logic, please?  And type slow for me.

 

A black person can feel pride for being one of a smaller portion of a country's population.

 

A white person has no reason to be proud.

 

What if the black person you mention above is born into money in NY, but that white person came from a poor home, worked hard to attend college, and now has a good job and is raising their family well above the poverty level?  No reason for pride, according to you, because they are white.  Meanwhile, that black person who has had everything handed to them on a silver platter should stand proud.

Pride is feeling satisfaction for one's achievements or qualities.

 

Someone who is in a minority group can feel pride for being apart of that minority group and achieving success (or even just pride for representing that minority group).

 

I'm not really sure why a white person would feel proud for being a white person. It's not hard to be white, it isn't an achievement.

It is not a logic issue.

 

Just a racist one, any commonality is coincidental.

In person, you'd love him.  He's an awesome, fun human being.   Very real, and very compassionate.

You confuse me, sometimes I like you and sometimes I don't. I super like you now. We could totally be friends or related, since I feel like murdering them half the time. *

 

 

 

*not actual murder, just exaggerating to make a point

What Boiler said!!

 

Love, as in love to be around, to talk to.  For one, when he talks, there is no need to interpret between the mis-spellings!
