    No, I saw the post and he didn't call you a racist.

    He said your post was racist.

    It's not a personal insult.

    Now some of the BS that Maris posted tonight were personal insults. Not sure what to do.

    A lengthy editorial in an obscure right wing publication is not a peer reviewed study. It does not prove or disprove anything.

    As Hamlet put it, "words, words, words".

    The racist tripe some folks have been spewing about me in here is rather boorish, if not laughable. Flat out, the epicenter of all that rubbish is the simple fact that I support Trump. Period. I'm not going to be led by the nose by a bunch of left-wing intellectuals who seeming want to define for me everything I should, or should not, say/believe/espouse or otherwise.

    As it pertains to the word, Kemosabe, who's really to say the term is racist, or not. Shoot, it doesn't show up in Native Circle. Heh, I'm going with them. Nuf said:

    Plus, Kemosabe is/was used to identify a trusted friend. Where's the racism there?

    https://www.outsidethebeltway.com/yahoo_news_-_who_was_that_masked_man/

    Would you call for the shut down of this Denver apparel store?

    https://kemosabe.com/

    And, please, don't trot out the fact that I've cited Candace Owens and others (i.e.1776 Unites; Blaxit; Woodson Center, etc.) as those who don't fall in line with the BLM movement to be misconstrued as me somehow being racist. BLM is just one of many movements out there. They certainly aren't the be all, end all on the matter. There are counters to some of their approaches.

    My advice is to try insulting him.
    I can tell you what it's like. There's an exhilarating feeling that will come over you. It must be like dying and going straight to heaven.

    Was listening to Michael Cohen's pod this morning and the guest said something that stuck with me.

    The remaining Trump voters are either racists, or are perfectly fine with racism. Seems about right.

    If Trump wins I'll lose my shit.
    If little green Martians invade tomorrow I'll lose my shit too.
    No sense talking about either one because they are both equally impossible.
    Tomorrow will be a wipeout, a route, a complete repudiation of everything Trump stands for.

    When I was a boy of 9 we got a dog, related to Rin Tin Tin which my mother named Kemo after the faithful Indian companion of the Lone Ranger. He became my faithful companion that I loved dearly until he died of some kidney disease which broke my heart causing me to cry for weeks. I still miss him. I do not look down on the expression Kemo Sabe but rather revere it.

    It's that you, in the year 2020, don't realize why posting a picture of "smoke signals" and talking in broken English that is 100% based on a racist trope of how Native Americans spoke in movies/tv shows/radio/etc is 100% cringeworthy.

    Yeah, right. That's already been well covered.

    I get feeling gross about writing out "retarded", but "gay" is still used harmlessly all the time so it seems weird to feel gross typing it out. By itself, "gay" is not a slur or offensive. It's only offensive when it's used in certain context, which you were only alluding to. It would make more sense to me if you were talking about the "f" word that I definitely would feel gross about writing out, even though it was used constantly when I was growing up.

    You seem to not understand what the issue is. We don't get all cringeworthy, what you're SAYING is cringeworthy.

    It's a polite way of saying "you are coming off as someone who is oblivious to how racist you sound and ignorant of other peoples feelings or life story".

    The big takeaway from this is you trying to turn the tables onto the person who is talking to you A: doesn't work and B: doesn't actually make you look any better. The only thing it does is make you look foolish and ignorant.

    And I really wish this the was the only time you've done this. This is a regular occurance with you. Like the old saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me again, shame on me".

    No one is buying your act.

    There is no issue. Kimosabe is not a racist term. As to the smoke signals? Hard to say. Me thinks it was advanced technology of the times.

    I'm hoping you aren't implying that is what I did there, because I wasn't.

    I wasn't implying that, just wanted to mention it as another example because it does still happen often and speaks to your point.
