News Why It's So Hard To Talk To White People About Racism

The fact you couldn't wrap your mind that my response might have been due to the Poe post you made really has me scratching my head. Why the hell do you post reactionary posts, claim sarcasm when in fact it was condescending, and think your grade school insults is considered "I'm winning arguments"?

No, Ed. Your Poe had me misunderstand and take it as Poe's law intends: indistinguishable from the real thing. And you're upset about it.

It doesn't matter where you school
it doesn't matter where you learn
Remember if you learn to think
Degrees only count for what you earn.

They are NOT reactionary; they are the truth---the truth sucks. I feel condescended by people who don't know what they are talking about. Don't care to address or resolve the real problems and then ignore my real life personal experiences. As well as my observations. I have a friend, taught himself to fly like I did, made it official later-unlike me he had to build the plane first though...He taught himself aeronatical engineering made it official later; he taught himself computer programming never made it official but made hundreds of thousands writing Airplane performance software for several airlines. So no education isn't everything the guy (a Black man) designated as a janitor on the payroll is the one who showed the whole congenital heart surgery world how to repair Tetrology of Fallot and other congenital heart defects a couple hundred variations thereof. I taught myself a few things both before and after my formal education. You were condescending, in that, you think that I'm incapable of using more elegant and precise vocabulary. Unfortunately, I couldn't see how your favorite words that you complained for 3 pages about f*ck and c*nt would help reinforce my arguments, sorry---now---

@LuckyDuck a good day to you dear.
 
I followed this thread as a silent reader because I’m white in predominantly white surroundings so my experience with racism is very limited and therefor I don’t feel entitled to have an opinion on how people who actually have experienced racism should feel about it.

But I think this thread is heading in the direction of answering the initial question, why it is hard to discuss it with Whites. People who don’t know what it’s like tend to invalidate the experiences and feelings of those who actually do and that’s condescending.

Thanks for mischaracterizing me, Ed, as well as my neurological disorder. I really appreciate it. No, really. Plus dragging up old threads. And necrotising this once-dead thread. And being condescending.

@Ed Norton Good day to you, dearest.

P.S. this is sarcasm used properly.
 
You mischaracterized me, painting me as a pseudointellectual shit stirring troll. I knew a few with Maladie des tics Gilles de la Tourettes btw Anyway no intention of offending you. But clearly you were trying to upset me. You clearly misunderstood everything I said here.

No more on this-I'm done; I heard you

the dear wasn't sarcasm in my case. No need to take the anger out of this thread see you in chat if you so decide.
