    Stop it. White people need to simply just get it and stop referring to us as apes.

    I don't see why it's so hard.

    You see the lady who called Michelle Obama an ape in a dress? She's getting her due too.

    It's a really easy thing to not do.... Like blackface.

    The irony of quoting a post talking about generalizations where you resort to doing just that. Generalizations. “White people”.

    Perhaps it's a fine line, but there's a difference between "White people call us apes" and "White people need to stop calling us apes". One is generalizing white people, and one is identifying an action that some people engage in and should stop.

    To compare, if I say "Men need to stop hitting their wives", I am not saying that all married men are abusers, just that those who are need to stop.

    Man I swore I was going to ignore your CONSTANT argumentative posts, but this one stuck with me. What exactly do you think you are accomplishing by posting this? Straight up? Answer me this. You are just trying to fire this dude up right? Just starting shit like usual.
    Of course you are white!
    Of course you didn't call people apes!
    Yet you felt you needed to stop whatever it is you do, and take the time to try and instigate some shit.
    This is a touchy subject with my man, yet you feel you always gotta fan the flames around here. EVERY day with some people on here.

    Can't wait for your reply as usual. This should be good.

    I challenge each of us in the forum to try and acknowledge, agree, or dis-agree with someone , but do it with respect, be cordial and kind. It really is the precept for good dialog and/or debate.
    A merry heart is like a medicine!

    He referred to him as a beast, or monster.

    Can you see the difference though? Barkley called Joel an actual gorilla, and a vanilla one at that. Dude was beasting and grabbed an offensive board and put back to seal the win.

    I hope you can see how that and some piece of shit calling Michelle Obama an ape in shoes is different

    Me and Dviss are cool man. We could discuss this stuff in person and be cool. Im understanding and in agreement with pretty much everything except when he generalized white people. I never do that with any race, I feel like it's the wrong thing to do. So I said something about it. I'd dry the same thing in person and we'd likely have a good discussion. So get off your high horse.

    It's not hard to not generalize...

    "Men who hit their wives need to stop"...
    "White folk who call people monkeys and apes need to stop."
    Etc.

    Funny thing is, in regards to me, you do this shit more than I do it to you. Yet you complain about it at the same time. You're guilty of all of this, yet act like your above it. Guess where I got some of this from?

    Thing is, I have a point based on how I view things, you troll for fun. Also if you're trying to ignore my posts, theres a feature that helps with that. Trust me, my feelings wont be hurt. Have a good night.

    It's also not hard to understand what people are actually saying even if they don't use the precisely perfect phrasing that you feel is appropriate. Why demand others bend to your paradigm? You're fully capable of assuming the best interpretation of people's statements; why choose the worst?

    Imagine if I started out a sentence saying “well if black people would just stop...”

    You’re gonna act like this whole damn forum wouldn’t jump on me and say I’m racist and generalizing? Dviss keeps getting the passes though. Was weird to me a long time ago. Continues to weird me out how much mods go to bat for him

    See you actually did pretty good until this son. This exemplifies not only your age, but maturity level.
    This has nothing to do with me and horse, this has to do with you constantly pissing people off by being argumentative at all times......REGARDLESS of the topic.

    The fuck are you talking about? I do "this shit" more than you? You argue and are negative to everybody on here almost! I'd bet 80% of your posts start off by telling somebody how they are wrong or have no idea what they speak of. And you are SERIOUS about it.
    I come on here and joke with fools. I don't tell people how to think or what to post like you. Or inform them how wrong they are. You straight get in arguments DAILY with people on here bro. DAILY! Fuck outta' here kid.

    Nearly every thread is derailed by YOU arguing with somebody. There'd be nothing to read.

    There's new rules for what you can say every day. I don't know if Meek Mill is a trash rapper or not. I saw some of his NBA stuff and thought it was fine. However, you don't have authorization to speak on that so just drop it.
