    Just as I had thought. Baseless claims.

    You're not talking about racists. You're talking about white people. Why is it wrong to not want to have all white people lumped together in your opinions? I don't feel like this is such a big ask. When you talk about white men, am I part of that group? How do you classify someone as white? You say it's a construct, but who gets to decide who is and who is not white? Am I no longer white if I say that I'm not a racist? It's all very confusing.

    Thing is, we can go back and forth, and you can do the "sure, thing, boss", like this all night long. The fact is, you've called me a racist, yet have no basis for that...at all. It's a completely empty proposition/argument on your part.

    You have shown zero skill when it comes to educating yourself on other peoples points. See Crandc's post above. You gloss over anything that makes you have to think for yourself, and respond with something you deem witty.

    So really, what is the point of trying to engage with you anymore? There isn't.

    so long.

    Oh, but wait. Just because others have their own perceptions, doesn't exonerate you from the claims you've made. Speak for yourself! YOU'VE called me a racist! Prove it.

    Seems like a mansplain thing to say.

    Tell that to all the women making bank on OnlyFans by showing their naked bodies.

    Women can make their own decisions. As platypus pointed out many women find it empowering.

    You guys are talking apples and oranges. He's using the vernacular which may be more correct in here and you are using the text book definition which is best used in splitting hairs and when teaching theory.

    He's not hateful towards White people in general, just the bigoted ones. I speak from personal experience with him.He'd like you to understand the horror that Black people have gone through up through today i.e. put yourself in their shoes.

    I judge a restaurant first on how clean the rest room is then I judge the food and service.

    dviss is a'ight. I had misjudged him as being an angry know-it-it, all, but have since apologized to the man. I hear what you're saying, Lanny. dviis is shedding light on all the violence and hate Blacks have endured - and continue to endure. I have no room nor place to talk in that regard. I live my life to love those around me. Color has no bearing whatsoever.

    She's just so full of it. She's absolutely bought and paid for and she is incapable of hiding that.

    She just radiates hubris.
