Again sir, let's learn how to read and comprehend before we comment shall we. I said that this site and state are filled with racist people. Last time I checked, that didn't mean everyone on the site and in the state were racist. Filled with and everyone are completely different. I can add links to an online dictionary of that helps clear things up for you.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 6:17 pmAccusing everyone in Texas and everyone on this forum of being racist is not exactly "just making a comment". When you start out by attacking the entire forum and the entire State of Texas you should expect a less than cordial reaction.Nickgibson72 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 5:58 pm And the racist boomers continue to come pouring in.

And you guys wonder why this site has gone down hill in the past year. Good day gents

Re: What is privilege
Apparently I triggered quite a few boomers on here for calling someone racist who posted a racist post. I was in no way trolling. I simply pointed out how every single "privilege" in the OP was aimed at the black community. But yet I am the racist here? That logic right there is why the world is as screwed up as it is. But clearly I am in the minority here so I'll just shut up. Happy father's day gents.

Re: What is privilege
If you are not racist or a closet racist, then the statement would not be aimed at you now would it? If you are offended, there must be a reason you think it was directed at you. I was speaking to those who know exactly who I am talking about. If it's not you, you can keep it moving.rtschl wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 3:03 pmHis apology said the forum is filled with closet racists. That's not an apology.

We all know that liberals monitor this web site but like he stated, i do not see anything political in his posts. He even apologized for the generalization he made. I could be wrong but I do not see any trolling.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 11:55 amK.Mooneyham wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 11:31 am If some folks can't see that "Nickgibson72" is politically trolling, I really don't know what to say. In fact, it is a standard method for those with a leftwing ideology to come onto a forum or social media page, and launch an all-out attack. They will say whatever is necessary to get you to doubt yourself and how you have lived your life. They will then dial back somewhat, and engage in "dialogue" which is DESIGNED to help you "see the error of your ways". The tactic is right out of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals". The attack is NOT about anything except politics. I will make no other replies to this post.
It’s alright for us to disagree and we need opposite views for good conversation. I would rather debate with someone with views other than mine, it is usually a good way to see another viewpoint that otherwise might not have been considered. It doesn’t mean I will change but I do not mind hearing other viewpoints. I am a very conservative Christian but I have one friend in particular that is a lifelong liberal. Heck, the majority of my family are liberals. At least with my liberal friend we can view our opinions and disagree and rib each other but we never get mad over it.

Re: What is privilege
And I also said nothing even close to political in my comments. I stay far away from politics when I write stuff because politics are always misconstrued.

Re: What is privilege
Trolling? How am I trolling? Just because you disagree with what I am saying doesn't mean I was trolling. I am just making a point. You can disagree all you want, but I am certainly not being a troll. If you don't want to have dialogue on what I said, that's on you sir.

Re: What is privilege
Let me apologize for some of the things I wrote. I will say that yes, Texans as a whole have been nice and welcoming people since I moved here. While I don't think everyone in Texas is racist, I do believe that this message board is filled with "closet racists" who refuse to educate themselves past "statistics" they see on Facebook. As a man in a mixed race marriage with mixed race children, I speak from experience, not from what I see on the news. Anytime BLM pops up in the media, there is a post bashing it in some way. Again, I understand that not everyone on here means harm and I apologize for lumping everyone together. But let's not all sit here and try to make it seem like there aren't a bunch of racists on this site. Let's have open and honest dialogue instead of back tracking and trying to push in back on the person calling them out.

Re: What is privilege
Yes let's keep using images stolen off the internet to prove our points without actually doing the research. The ignorance I speak of is all over this website. Every thread on here has racial undertones throughout. And here I thought Texas was supposed to be this great state filled with the nicest people you'll ever find. All I've seen since moving here is a state filled with racists. And this thread is just proving that. The OP didn't outright say it was talking about the black community, but we all know that's exactly who it was aimed at.

Re: What is privilege
It blows my mind to see so much ignorance in these posts. You want to talk about privilege? It is a privilege to have an interaction with a cop where you don't end up dead because of the color of your skin. It is a privilege to walk into a store and be treated with respect, with no concern from the owner if you are going to steal something. It is a privilege to go to your 50k a year private schools where they can afford books and other basic materials. It is a privilege to drive your expensive trucks without people thinking it's drug money that bought it. Some of y'all need to really educate yourselves instead of just being ignorant and "old school". There is a reason these things continue to happen, and those reasons are right here in this thread.
