I’m just going by what was said, it was by an ex-bear. Anyway, I’m sick of reading and hearing how everything is racist, how things can’t get done, how we must know CRT, Juneteenth, BLM, and on and on. All excuses and avoidance. I bet my $50 donation will be put to better use than to anything donated to BLM. You may as well light that money on fire.
This is a gentle suggestion and feel free to ignore but as sick as you are of having to read about 'how everything is racist' would you kindly allow that perhaps people of color are equally as sick of actual racism? Like.....I'm sorry you have to read and hear about it, but at least you don't have to experience it. Jeez, dude. Have some compassion.
Hang in there. Must be rough.
Correct. That's one of the first things that comes to mind. However, my impression from posters around here is a handful don't believe those people are experiencing actual racism or even experiencing the effects of past racism and are just overplaying the racism card as excuses or a crutch.
I DO have compassion for those people who experienf it everyday. It’s the white guilt sympathy people who tell everyone how they should feel thru the media (especially social media), they can pound sand.
If you have compassion, then you wouldn't say things like: I'm sick of having to read or hear about how everything is racist.
It is also the bad/junk food that is over charged for. Pork rinds and grape soda should not be a staple of a diet. People in these areas need better food options.
You're missing his point. Particularly the part about hearing about it AND hearing "how things can't get done". He started a thread about something actually being done about it.
I'm not missing anything, Tony. White people shouldn't be lecturing others on how the rest of the world should feel, act, study or deal with racism. Full stop. It's not surprising that you can't comprehend this.
He wasn't lecturing anyone. He expressed his own feelings, half of which you dismissed.
This is not expressing feelings, Tony - it's lecturing: I'm sick of having to read or hear about how everything is racist.
That false. It's overdone. My god everything isn't racist. That has to stop because, as I'm sure you know, it waters down when actual racism happens. Unless, of course, you believe every time you have been told something is racist you believe it to be true. Then yeah, I see your point.
He literally put the word "I'm" in the post and you view it as lecturing. Wrong
Ah yes, more white guys telling the rest of the world how they should view racism. Cool stuff. Keep it coming.
He was speaking his opinion.
I dont care how anyone views racism. Not my issue. I am just tired of being told I am racist. That's all.
“I’m sick” is definitely describing how he is feeling. It’s got both the pronoun and the adjective right up there at the beginning of the sentence for you.
Nobody said you were a racist. But a white dude saying he's tired of reading or hearing about how everything is racist (when it's not) is just asinine. Go read something else if everything you are reading is telling you the world is racist. Turn the channel or find new people to talk to if everything you hear is blaring 'racism'.
Ok here we go again. No not "everything" is racist. Good gracious..Is that all that happens here? I will concede your point..Not every single thing in the world is racist. You win. Well done.
You're probably right. I'm going camping out on the coast to beat this oppressive heat. And to spare myself from having to read or hear about racism everywhere I turn.
Whens the last time you went a day without hearing or reading “racism”?
Yesterday I think, but I can't be certain. I spent almost a week camping the Redwoods last month without access to the outside world and didn't here or read about it there.
Actually, yeah we do. Kilchis River Campground. Bring your discs?You have room for one more tent?
Obviously racism is worse than hearing or reading about racism. That’s a silly question
Appreciate this reply, GB. Go get a beer with me and Mike?Obviously racism is worse than hearing or reading about racism. That’s a silly question
I’m a white heterosexual male so I know a large part of the population doesn’t care what I think about anything, but I’ll give my opinion on this.
I’m not a racist.
I don’t think there are any racists that post on this board.
None of my family/friends are racist.
I wish to God that racism would just disappear.
I also think that @FairWarning is allowed to be tired of hearing about it constantly. We are all adults, we know he didn’t literally mean “hear about it everywhere in everything” or whatever.
I admit that it’s hard to avoid hearing/reading racism every single day in just about everything and does get to be too much. I don’t think that makes him or me a bad person and it doesn’t mean I think it compares in any way to the people that actually experience racism.
no, don't watch TV. just streaming. Faust ruined the SP for me long ago, and I don't encounter race in the handful of threads I visit in the FFA.
