    @SlyPokerDog do you have an opinion on this?

    Some double standards have a valid basis. As a kid, were you ever told that it's absolutely unacceptable to ever lay hands on a woman? I hope so. Same rule doesn't apply to men.

    I think 400 years of white people telling black people what they can and can't do pretty much undermines any right we might think we should have to tell black people what they should do.

    Double-standard, yes; but I'm ok with that.

    I disagree. Bones is good. He gets a little heated sometimes but we all do. Including you right here. Interesting isn’t it?

    I'm just saying, if you said something like that replaced with a different race, it'd likely be viewed as racist.

    Obviously I understand what he's saying, but I don't like when people talk in generalizations. Call it a pet peeve, or whatever you want. I don't understand why disliking when people talk in generalizations about other groups is such a bad thing, but I digress.

    He’s well aware of my thoughts on dviss. What’s the opinion to have? I brought up a valid point but reversed the roles as a example. Nothing wrong with that

    The past day or two, yes. But you'll take 3 arguments in two days after I haven't had an argument with anyone in two weeks and you'll turn it into "you argue with everyone in every thread, ever!" because you hold this petty little grudge and will always try to paint me as bad of a person as you can.

    That doesn’t make it okay though. That’s my point. It’s like okay I gotta be cool with generalizations even though I come from immigrants and this shit happened a long time ago. Makes me wonder. I guess that victim card can just continually be used. Hundreds of years from now. All because of some backwards ass people that existed that played a part in slavery. Shit, slavery still goes on today. @barfo wanted me to name something more important than trump today so let me give him one since we are here. Slavery. Sex trafficking of kids. There you go buddy.

    Anyways I’m over it. Being a victim is just the normal shit today. Doesn’t matter as long as you are a victim or your people were once victims. It’s so ridiculous that it carries over hundreds and hundreds of years. Not saying hey ge over it but I will say it like everybody tells others with backwards ass thinking. It’s 2019!!

    Nothing bad about disliking how people talk. Never said there was.

    No need to paint bro. Your posting history speaks for itself.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of not being a victim. Makes it easy to not be offended by anything anyone else says or does. But it's not my place to dictate to others; all I can manage is myself.

    You've pissed off a lot of people too. Literally everyone I've argued with lately I'm absolutely cool with. Dviss, KJ, etc.

    Funnily enough, the only posters I'm not cool with on here is you and the three trolls who have physically threatened people.

    Then why don't you let it instead of derailing this thread? If it truly did, you wouldn't have to say anything!

    This would be a great example of why people have claimed you are a racist. What person with any sense of decency and respect for others, would type this? You really think this way?

    Not trying to argue with you by the way. I think you’re the best mod here. You actually seem like a good person who tries to understand all sides and I respect that. Never had a negative interaction with you. Need more on here like you. Thank you for that.

    For me, it's not even that deep. I just don't like when people talk in generalizations, because some people like Dviss won't mean everyone, but there's some people that actually do believe it (The most common one I see is older white folk thinking African-Americans are inherently criminal in nature).

    Therefore, I don't like when people talk in generalizations. Weirdly enough, the same person who would normally agree with such a stance is blasting me for it because he has a petty little grudge. I find it comical.

    Man, I don't piss people off on here. Get real. You and two other tools that start all the shit on here don't like me, but I'm not pissing anybody off.

    Can you quit flaming and being argumentative with multiple posters in one thread?
