OT White people don’t want to hear about slavery at plantations built by slaves

What does this mean?

 

Lol. Yes, I got that part. What I'm wondering is to whom the tissue is being offered too and why.

 

Oh! Thanks for the clarity Sly.
I was sure it meant; here, you can wipe my ass before you kiss it!

 

I didn't know it was Salty Sunday. I thought it was Saturday.

 

I didn't say Salty Ass....Salty Sunday. What you and Marzy do behind closed doors is your business.

 

Geez, I don't know if you guys even know that, kiss my ass, isn't a meant as pleasantry. My, how the world changes.

 

Pretty much, because at the end of the day @Chris Craig 's response was excellent.
Being that all I wanted was for @Chris Craig to clarify his statement so there was nothing left up to interpretation. He did, therefore nothing more needed to be said.
But for whatever reason the guy who hated the fact that I tagged him a couple days ago, qq'd about my post.
So that person deserves a tissue because it's clear that in the post I tagged him in, as well as this post. I sought zero input from him and I was either looking for clarification from @Chris Craig or making a factual statement.

Therefore. Heres a tissue.

 

White people, including me, have really no concept of how horrific racism is. We only get glimpses of it and that's more than enough for me to see it as America's no. 1 problem. Imagine how bad it must make Black Americans feel. I probably only see the tip of the iceberg.
We've got to do something about this today not tomorrow.

 

What does 'qq' mean?

 

Maybe its because Im white but I think the biggest problem has been crony capitalism and systems that actively work to keep poor people poor, and rich people rich. Everything single problem in this country goes back to what will keep the ultra elites in their place and keep everyone else in theres. This is the root, racism, corruption, sex trafficking, etc, etc, it all stems from really big business and really powerful politicians scratching each others back to continue to prop up themselves, while Blacks definitely feel the brunt force of that more than most white people, you wont fix racism until you fix those who are in power who use racism, and fear mongering to control people.

 

If you were Black I guarantee you'd put racism at the top of your list. Try and picture yourself in the shoes of a Black man. Now picture yourself as a Black teenager.

 

I'm not though, and I think you fix the issues at the top of our country and you would go a long way towards fixing the underlying structures of racism in this country. The elites actively pit people against each other to this day because it gives them power and money.

 

Your solution is so elusive that I would find alternative solutions to racism to be more productive.

 

I'm saying I honestly don't believe we will irradicate racism unless we find leaders who will stop using the divide and conquer methods on the people of the country. There is no one size fix-all solution to racism though.
We have big business on one side, big government on the other all elites, and really rich that profit off of people divided and hating on each other. Not sure what solutions you have that would work, but I'm willing to listen.

 

If there wasn't so much money in politics and it wasn't a life time job for elitist to be in government and we let people and markets determine who the crooks are and let them dry up, we'd have a better shot as country to democratically be in check. Term limits, and take away incentives for lobbyist by not allowing politicians to phase into the money chain.
Government is way to big and out of control with those with wrong motives in a position do dictate their direction.
Through the market place let consumers for with their dollars and freedoms.

 

I'd also mention control of the media and the content toward keeping the populace in check.

 

Well I will tell you what! How about you take a run to Berkley, then walk down Telegraph until you get to Water St on the waterfront in Oakland. I will pick you up there and with the facilities aboard the MarAzul you can get on S2 and report what should be done. Perhaps another look through the scope on close X will lend some clarity.
