OT Either stop locking threads or close the OT forum down

No, that was me. But only after you took an incredibly cheap, disrespectful and demeaning shot at him for simply expressing an opinion you did not agree with. When you couldn’t offer an intelligent rebuttal, you took the cheap shot. When @SlyPokerDog didn’t call you out, I did. And as a Navy vet, I have absolutely no problem making Marine jokes. It’s in our DNA. Get over it.

 

Dog, I do think there is more to this than learning to communicate.
You mention growing up in the city with Black culture, but you don't see it as black culture, just culture. At least I tried to say it, or that is what I got.
Fine. Well maybe not, I suppose I may get corrected.

But, not everyone sees as you do in the same City, other Cities, or not in any City. Some where along the way, list get created of things that are
virtuous, and not virtuous. But those list are only known to those that are there, but they come to be known beyond those that are there. But it is
difficult to include all because others have other things to care about and other list to create.

It can not be that all must care, about every list.
Tolerance is needed for people from other interests. The same insults are not on all lists. Being offended is usually an offense on a list, but why be offended if the offense is not on the offenders lists.

Now, snark and obtuse are nearly the same when communicating. Those are intended to offend without being on any list. Dropping that would allow respect
to reign, and tolerance to be virtuous.

 

There you go. This is on your list.

I never did get that from my service time.

 

How do I not know what? I have heard many people use "edumacate" and it was never once directed at anything black. It was mostly about uneducated rednecks, and said with a redneck twang.

I am legitimately asking you how this one is tied to racism.

Seems to me it's just a slang term that people have used for a while. Nothing ties it to any kind of racism.

And if I search "edumacate racism" on google literally nothing comes up.

 

And everyone would happily drink a beer with you. Hell, I'll buy you one on the next meet up.

But I'm sure there are some in here, even if they never seen anything I post, who wouldn't want that beer summit with me.

 

Why is being respectful so hard?

This just in: It's not.

 

You said ALL black people. Who is generalizing?

 

Please tell me.

 

You were the one that started it, then riverman joined in lol.

And while you’re telling me to “get over it” tell that to yourself, and riverman, who keeps complaining about people being insensitive or something.

And I seem to remember you guys getting super butthurt after I started joking about the navy.

Continue your maneuvers off the coast of California, sailor.

 

Were you a Marine Nate?

 

Get the fuck over it.

 

Pretty short list

 

Yessir

 

Next you'll be telling me crandc is a chick!

 

Who was the urban dictionary created by?

Certainly not the people who made up those "urban" terms...

You're being obtuse. It's racist. He only said that because I'm black. Who else does @Nate think should edumacate themselves? Anyone white?

 

Depends upon your definition.

 

Interesting considering that it was your generation that was leading us and teaching us during my time in the service.....

 

Thank you for your service. My cousin is a marine. Just made it home from his 4th tour.
