I'm large and I don't support Amy although she's probably my third or fourth choice. I'm so large that even my head is large, so large that I've been called a fat head. Shocking though it be some even in here have thought me as a fat head.
I witnessed you take the hat off your head and place it on @dviss1's. Darn thing was so big it nearly hid his entire face...
@dviss1...I wondered what happened to that guy...he had an annoying habit of putting a racial spin on just about everything.
He's a great guy. I don't always agree with him on stuff but met the man in person a few times now and he's a good guy. He isn't shy. Even when it comes to racial stuff, I'm not sure I agree with him on everything he says, but heck he's a Black man, I need to just listen and try to understand why he thinks/feels the way he does rather than insert myself into it.
I don't doubt he's a nice guy but the thing that gets me is when a black person says "you don't know what it's like to be black"...well, many whites might conversely say, "you don't know what it's like to be white". Both statements are silly and pointless, IMO.
I'm not El Prez and I don't play him on TV, but the commentary I've read suggests two possible reasons: 1) Biden has the most foreign policy experience of the field, by far 2) In times of crisis people reach for something familiar barfo
The logic of what youre saying makes sense. The issue is that minorities and black people in particular feel like (and to an extent I agree), racism has been described to them by Caucasians, that “we” only care about racism when it fits into our box of what racism is, instead of listening to them about they feel is racism. Ive said it here before, the issue at least my opinion of it is way to many caucasions try to sound woke by trying to find racism in everything, which makes people roll their eyes when some of those things are completely absurd and it can make people ignore racism when it does happen. Theres always some give and take with what is racism and what isnt but we should be listening to them, and letting them have a loud voice in defining what is and isnt racism rather than dictating to them what is. When they say, you arent Black you dont know what its like, they are saying we dont understand racism, nor have we experienced it the same ways that they have in America and that their unique experiences need to be heard, respected and listened too. So yes I get it, no one has lived in anyone elses shoes, or see’s things from their perspective and we all have unique qualities, but in terms of what is racism and what isnt, that is something minorities and those effected by it should have loud voice in.
1. I'm simply tired of the "300 years of oppression" card thrown up in my face over and over...IMO, more times than not, it's a cop out.. 2. It's been over 50 years since the civil rights amendment, FIFTY ! Sorry, but I just no longer buy the perceived "whitey is trying to keep the black man down" mantra. 3. Why is there no such attitude to/from other minorities?...Asians?, nope...People of Mexican descent?, nope...American Indians?, nope. 4. Why must so many Afro-Americans still insist on referring to themselves as "black" ? I mean, it's quite obvious so why does it really need pointing out all the time? My point is that as long as "people of color" perpetuate the issue by continuing to see themselves as "black" and referring to themselves as "black", other people will too.
Racism affects anyone who defines themselves by their "race". It matters not if they are a minority or a majority.
Doesnt matter how I define myself if Im being treated by others differently because of how they define me.
Not hard. Impossible. Every Bernie 3Crib supporter I know is unemployed by choice. His entire platform is to crush the remnants of America's middle class and make them all renters under the thumb of his ruling class.
