jonattonyeah it may stem from America-centric thinking, sure, but that doesn’t stop it from being completely nonsensical codswallop.

That’s before you get on to the point I just raised above in that the ADL definition literally contradicts the ADL’s chief executive’s comments pointing out that the Holocaust was “racist”.

On your second paragraph, in the demented world of critical race theorists where race is the most important lens by which the world can be viewed, being “just bigoted” would probably be considered a “win” as opposed to being a root-of-all-evil racist. But really that’s all part of what is having invented a dumb game with nonsensical rules whereby only your opponent can ever get given a red card, while allowing you to do the same but be excused.

      Hugo boring the tits off the entire board as per.

      Clown.

      I try to keep an open mind about it. I mean, if I was Black I might see the world through my skin color as much as anything given their history here - from slavery, to red lining, to not being considered an actual person, to the unfair war on drugs, to the 13th ammendment, to Tuskegee….I could go on and on, all because of their skin color.

      As for CRT, it , like BLM, has a messaging problem but is really mostly reactionary. Shitholes in the American South literally do not want to teach what actually happened there. Alabama, which patted itself on the back for banning CRT in schools, basically wants everyone to ignore that they wouldn’t let a Black girl go to that same school in the 1950’s. It’s ridiculous.

      Race is a very complicated and sore subject here. Not apples to apples, but probably not unlike how sensitive the Holocaust is in Germany. As a tall, white, straight man with a full head of hair, I have the privilege Mount Rushmore. I don’t know what it’s like to be on the other side so I keep my opinions flexible.

          jonattonyeah none of that explains how a black person miraculously can not also be racist.

            No one bumping this thread to discuss Tyre Nichols?

            No global protests and riots?

            No statues of him being built?

            Quickly charging the cops with murder helps to alleviate the rage.

              Chauvin was still arrested just 4 days after the incident - all the protests and eulogising of Floyd continued for months afterwards.

                Aren’t all the cops black for this case?

                  I am sorry we aren’t burning down our cities for you Hugo. Might have something to do with COVID lockdown being over, but what do I know?

                    This is my theory. Shit to do now, all that cop shit is old news

                      303abuser Who knew militarizing a bunch of high school drop outs with self esteem issues would be a problem?

                      Absurd viewpoint.

                      Aren’t they colloquially referred to as <city name>’s finest by our American cousins?

                      Implication being they are the cream of the crop.

                      Maybe something Zacko can aspire to?

                        It’s true, it’s just a few bad apples and they have a dangerous job and don’t at all steal from and execute people without consequences. Heros the lot of them.

                        Hugo sent me a copy of his email exchange with MC Hammer. Fascinating stuff.

                        Just what exactly are they not able to touch? You haven’t been specific with your request and you’ve done this over several verses. Waiting on your response.

                        I take it from your non-response that you mean they (whoever they are) can’t touch your ass??? Or is it the quality of your rap?? You are in no position to tell anyone what they can and can’t touch. Still waiting on a response but I think that’s what you’re trying to say.
