    Yup. White people only exist in America. They are PURELY an American construct.

    Funny how the inventors of "race" are the same one to ask you "wHy DoEs iT aLWayS gOtTa bE AbOUt rAcE??"

    So are black people a construct? When you say something like "we need you now more than ever," who exactly is "we" if race is a construct? And if you identify with black people, why should I not identify with white people when people are saying negative things about white people?

    There's Sooooo much ignorance in this.... Fine I won't call you white. I'll call y'all European... Because y'all ain't from here either...

    YES BLACK IS A CONSTRUCT... JESUS... (we've literally been through this...)

    We are FORCED to latch onto Black... Why???

    Because your ancestors not only STOLE this country and murdered it's indigenous people, they STOLE our history too (and yours but you're not ready for that conversation. You're not really even ready for this one). MFs wanna tell us "go back to Africa" when it's 54 countries....

    Well which one do I go back to?? Exactly...

    Once again, my favorite t-shirt. I love wearing this in the south because old white guys give me smiles thinking I'm just into NASCAR.

    My ancestors? Interesting. You don't even know who my ancestors were. So you're basing that on..... what exactly? OH THAT'S RIGHT! The color of my skin!

    So what exactly do you say to your ancestors who sold you into slavery? What role did they play?

    I wasn't born in Europe. My parents weren't born there either. Not sure how I'm European. And most of the indigenous people that were here aren't from here either. Maybe read up on the land bridge. Unless mother fuckers started out as fish that crawled out of the water and grew legs, then they started somewhere. It's all a matter of how far back you want to go. Nobody is indigenous. Humans migrate. We are nomadic. This antiquated idea that you're from here and we're from there and those people over there are from this place and the other thing is so narrow minded. How long does my blood line have to be on this continent before I'm considered an American?

    I can confirm this, the first time I meant Nate he was wearing shoes with lifts in them. It's obvious he is...

    So honest question, and I'm not trying to start a fight here. When you buy a shirt like that and then wear it out in public, what is the end goal? Do you want to piss someone off? Is it just because you think the shirt is funny? You hope it stimulates a conversation? I'm pretty boring. I mostly wear a mixture of Blazer tees, some duck stuff, and then some weird random shirts that I have picked up over the years.

    I am completely devoid of any kind of indication of how I lean politically in the real world. My cars don't have bumper stickers. I don't wear hats or shirts for candidates that I like. I don't post anything on facebook. This place and Reddit are the only two places that I actually show people how I feel. So looking at a shirt like the one you have, that's so completely in the opposite direction from what I would ever do, and I'm just curious about it.

    Also Sly, look at that picture of Prune with all that gray hair and tell me we're not all old now.

    I remember that dude's picture when he first started posting here as handclap Problematic.

    Everyone knows The "land Bridge Theory" is and always has been a theory made up by colonizing whites... Why don't you?
    Get that bullshit outta here... This MF said "nobody is indigenous".... That's just fucking stupid. You're brainwashed by white supremacy.
    The part above that's bolded is just clueless colonizer speak.

    Land Bridge Theory or not it doesn't take away from what the colonizers did. For someone who's not European you sure exhibit white fragility the moment white people are mentioned.

    When I fill out forms and see race and look down and see white, I hate that.

    I put human. Another thing those forms show is certain hate for Latinos.

    White folks be like: wHy'S iT aLWaYs gOTta bE aBOuT RaCe?

    Then proceed to put it on every single job application... If it doesn't matter, take it off...

    Your European or even Asian if you have Russian in your family tree. You or your parents were born here, but your great great grandparents or so were born overseas somewhere.

    My ancestors are mostly Irish and Scottish. I took a DNA test and had several European countries including Spain. So, why we were born here and claim to be American we are distantly from elsewhere.

    Europeans came here years ago and took this place from an indigenous people, killed many of them, pushed them west, brought in people from Africa to be slaves, and continued pushing native Americans west until there was no where left to push them. Then came the reservations and assimilation.

    That is true history

    Get off your high horse
