I love when a racist lectures me on racism.

As a parent I have a constant worry for my daughters life full stop… that’s kind of part of being a parent. She’s only 4 but that almost makes it worse. She might want to consider which of her fears are rational and which are pushed by her biases. Then have a beer and f-ing chill.

Damn, one hour late. Tried tuning in at 3 but the boss was stalking me until end of shift at 3:30.

What I heard: blah, blah, generality, blah, white people, blah, blah, generality, blah...
What I didn't hear: any helpful suggestions...any actual solutions...any actual goals...
Imagine my shock.

I've lived in the south just about all of my life and I can count the number of actual racists I've met on one hand and no one liked them. I think these people are projecting their insecurities and "desires" since they seem to have a perverted mindset of wanting to be "oppressed" or viewing themselves as victims. And of the people I can count, most happened to be black. In fact the only white racist I can think of only was saying shit to get a reaction out of the black students and was like "nah I'm just fucking with you" to which he'd then say "I love N words", and again, he was doing it to get a reaction and I was like "keep this shit up and you'll end up dead" to my knowledge he's still alive. If you ask me, he was being a little too edgy. Then again he did end up changing his name, not sure if that was related to anything or not. In any case, I don't come across a lot of racism in the south. Most of the stories I see and hear are from the North or California, the utopia state. Considering we have a "pandemic of racism" you'd think it would be far more common. But I digress, the changes in the definition of racism have all but removed any actual racism from the definition.
