    This shit should be easy.

    It's 2019 and MFs are still wearing blackface and calling us monkeys and apes.

    Then on top of it, we got motherfuckers justifying the shit.

    :dry:

    More white deniers and justifiers of racism.

    That's exactly what put the racist in chief in office.

    MFs wonder why the country is so divided while they're in the middle of dividing it.

    Why is simply respecting one another so fucking hard?

    That's how the term PC was invented. MFs mad because they can't say racist, homophobic shit anymore.

    Gave him. Did he call himself that afterward? Yes that's my point. He has a privilege not afforded to us.

    Besides, we don't call each other monkeys or apes. :dunno:

    It's just so different. He didn't call him an ape or a monkey. He referred to his dominance by saying he was King Kong at the end of a game.

    Stop justifying it.

    Not sure why you keep trying to explain the context to me when it does not matter.

    Hard and fast rule:

    No monkey or ape references.

    Figure. It. Out. And. Tell. Your. Friends.

    That's stupid. So, if a 6 year old black child is swinging around on the monkey bars, are they just bars until he or she leaves?

    Don't say silly, meaningless things. You're also comparing apples to oranges.

    You can refer to the inanimate objects in any way you please.

    Humans who have been called ape, monkey, and coon as a pejorative....

    Yeah... How bout no... :dunno:

    Yeah... Why am I having to explain this in 2019?

    Ugh... This shit is tiring....

    :hairout:

    You're right about those words, and if someone uses one of them it's wrong. He didn't

    I really hate generalizations as well. In fact I think it was Dviss' generation that taught our generation to not generalize.
    When I first joined this site I used to get upset @dviss1 as well for generalizing. It came to the point that I put him on ignore. Then I left the site(Not because of Dviss, but because of school requirements)
    When I came back I learned that unfortunately I can't change his words or how he views the world. That's fine we can view it different and still respect and appreciate one another. @dviss1 has actually helped me understand a few things with my sidejob via DM. He's also shown on the forum as well as in person he's someone who deserves my respect. Therefore he's earned it and nothing can change that.
    I can only choose to understand that he doesn't mean ME when he generalizes. It still grates on my nerves but my response is to understand and ignore the frustration it gives me. While also understanding the he feels similar frustrations when someone is being racist. Or using racist terms.

    I have you on ignore and that won't change but I can give you an example of you bullying which directly led to mods dm'ing you telling you to stop.
    But once again just like last time you'll deny it only for a mod to then be forced to come in and confirm it. Then you'll go MIA and never respond to said mod.
    That's just who you are.
    I don't await your response, in fact I won't see it.
    Have a nice life.

    I mean I get it. Just wish he'd give me more respect since he knows me... It's not a matter of what I think he means. I know he doesn't mean it as a generalization.

    If you're not doing the things I'm saying, why do you take offense?

    I'm obviously not talking to or about you.

    Matter of fact I'm SURE you know a few people like I've described.

    Get mad at them not the guy who has to deal with them.

    What I will never understand, and I'm being serious, is why people take this place so damn serious.

    Don't you think context has anything to do with it?
