    Among the many things the clown show is in denial about is the belief that a person isn't really black if he went to a white college, has white friends, or has bi-racial parents. It's a very logic, fact based belief. Moar clown show please!

    From him, yes, because I know the connotation from which he writes it.

    Mainly, I just feel bad for him as a person. This thread and the proof that many posters have shown is enough to change my feelings toward him. He says that there was no proof shown, but even as subtle as it was, there is evidence of his race-baiting,offensive behavior in this thread. I'm sure if each one of us went back and searched for his racially offensive material, we could have a very long thread of examples.

    It wouldn't matter to him though, and I that's why I can't be that disgusted with him anymore. How can you be disgusted with a person who refuses to consider any fault or responsibility, after being confronted with evidence of their offensive actions and thoughts? You start feeling bad for that person because you know that either they won't, or even worse, cannot change in a positive way.

    I used to view him as an online example of the cause of polarization among races, classes and politics. And, I thought it was shocking how divisive and just, well, unpleasant someone could be towards others in general.

    Now, I can't help but to feel sympathetic to someone who obviously has some deep-seeded issues about other races and parts of society.

    We don't know what happened to Texxx in the past that would make him discuss specific demographics of people with such disdain.

    The only thing we have to go on is all of the stuff Texxx has posted on this forum which has offended countless posters in one way or another.You can't help someone who refuses to recognize that they have an issue. You can't help or change the mind of someone who is unwilling to grow.

    That's enough for me to stop responding to him and hope that time gives him an opportunity to change his perceptions of people, instead of judging/ridiculing them for reasons unrelated to their character.

    Then where are the examples? You cannot provide them because they do not exist. People have been trying their hardest in this thread yet they came up empty.

    Your behavior is what is shameful -- hurling the race card because you cannot defend yourself. It's of course much easier to just throw the race card and try to shut off conversation with your little pity party, but it's harder to actually argue based on fact, logic and reason. Try to do better, it's growing tired hearing your unsubstantiated race-card crying wolf over and over. Lose the crutch and think for yourself.

    It's pathetic. I wanted to highlight low-value thinking in my original post, and the pile-on crew instead chose to shut down conversation and throw the race card out. They don't want to have a dialogue. They prefer to be able to garner sympathy and shut down conversation whenever they want simply by crying "racist!". It's a crutch they use because they cannot defend themselves with fact, logic and reason. Their insecurities and frustrations were highlighted for all to see.

    You shouldn't feel sorry for him or expect him to change. This is who he is online....just an internet troll. You think he verbally and personally expresses himself in person the way he does online? No way...just another coward hiding behind the computer typing things he wishes he had the nuts to say to the people he despises the most. I think the funniest thing is when he thinks he deserves any type of serious response to crap he put out. I just troll him right back, and enjoy life.

    lol how much time did you spend on those photoshops, Felix?

    FYI I'm no Zimmerman fan, I simply wanted a fair shake for all involved in the Trayvon tragedy. That's why I was arguing to see all the facts since day 1 of that.

    (by the way, that was another example of my OP....that if you wanted to wait for the facts to come out in the Trayvon incident, you were obviously racist....scoreboard.)

    Scoreboarding logical thinking over the murder of a teenager...classy. Really highlights the sophistication that comes with your superior logic

    So you are scoreboarding something you admit was a tragedy?? That is actually worse than I thought.

    And you are using the same tragedy to try to score points to "prove" someone is a racist. Get real dude.

    Not really sure what all of you are trying to prove with the anti Big Texx crusade. You aren't going to change him, most of you are dumb but not that dumb to think you can.

    Arguing the same old "you are a racist" crap with the same cast of characters offering up weak evidence is pointless too. If his behavior is as repulsive as some of you claim, put him on ignore and be done with him.

    Never tried to prove he's racist from TM.

    I just said calling scoreboard on this issue is classless. He could have made a point with the racist labeling with TM case, but decided to another point for him.

    This seems like a good place to post this random article...

    Is Thinking You're Better Than Other People Holding You Back Socially?

    Some lonely and socially awkward people are really insecure and self-effacing and feel like they're detestable nobodies. I've noticed a tendency for other people to have a different attitude, where they see themselves as a bit above everyone else. There are two sides to this mentality. One is thinking there's something about you that makes you superior to other people. You think you're smarter, deeper, different, or that you have more evolved beliefs and priorities than them. The other side is seeing everyone else as having a bunch of negative traits, that they're dumb, shallow, and selfish. The result is you feel like you can't relate to other people, that you're cut off from them, and like you're misunderstood and forced to walk your own path through life.

    This attitude can also appear as a kind of hostile over-pickiness in who you want to hang around. Some people are too choosy about their friends in a fairly benign way. They have overly high standards, but don't hold any ill will towards people. A more toxic form of pickiness is when you think everyone's an idiot. No matter who you meet, there's always something wrong with them and you never feel anyone is good enough to hang around or be friends with. You may think you want to have more friends, but whenever you meet new people, or consider the possibility of deepening a relationship with an acquaintance, you find something to make you think twice. No one's perfect, so if you're looking for a reason to write someone off, you'll always find it.

    In a shock to no one, I don't think having this view will do you any favors. Your attitude may come through and put people off, or it may cause you to turn away perfectly reasonable social opportunities.

    Reasons someone may come to think they're above other people

    To some degree everyone feels a little above the crowd sometimes. The world really can be a stupid place, it may be human nature to tend to see yourself as mildly superior, and plenty of people go through phases where they're down on society and their fellow man. However, I think the attitude I mentioned above goes beyond that. Here's my take on some of the dynamics laying under this way of thinking:

    Ego protection

    This one isn't a stretch. Thinking you're better than other people is a good way for your ego to defend itself from being damaged. It would sting to consider the possibility that you're not doing well socially because you have weak spots or that you've been going about things the wrong way. It feels better to tell yourself things like:

    • "It's not me, it's them."
    • "I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm a victim of other people's screwed up value systems."
    • "I don't fit in because I'm a misunderstood genius."
    • "I don't get along with people because I'm such a cut above they can't handle me. They're too stupid and obsessed with watching crap on TV for me to have anything in common with them."
    • "I can't make friends, and that does bother me, but at least I'm smarter and more deep than everyone else. I'm better off without that crowd" (superiority as a consolation prize).
    • "I don't want friends. People suck anyways. You know what, I don't even want to be around anyone" (negativity towards others as a way to knock what you can't have).

    Rejecting people before they reject you

    This is another well-known point. Insecure people will often look for reasons to reject others, to pre-emptively protect themselves from the pain of being rejected themselves down the road, which their low self-esteem makes them certain is inevitable. Being the one to do the rejecting allows them to save face in a way. Or maybe their insecurity makes them want to save other people the trouble of wasting their time on a supposed loser like them.

    Lack of perspective

    Feeling superior is based on a lack of perspective. Are you probably "above" some people? Sure, but not almost everyone. It's easy to believe you're a different breed when you don't interact with other people that much, or in a meaningful way. If you were around other people more you'd quickly accumulate evidence that you aren't the special flower you believe you are. You'd also learn not everyone is some mindless consumer. Similarly, it's easy to be picky when you don't have many actual friends, and your overly high standards seem reasonable in your head. When you actually hang around the types of people you'd previously have turned away, you realize they're often perfectly fine, and that all the criteria you thought were so important really don't matter.

    The relativity of being "better" than someone

    Feeling that you're above other people is a cheap source of self-esteem because the concept is so vague that anyone can build their own subjective case for why they're superior. They can cherry pick a trait (which they're strong in, naturally), decide it's a true indicator of superiority, and use that as evidence that they're above the masses. A smart person can tell themselves they're 'better' because they're intelligent. A non-intellectual person can say they're 'better' because they're down to earth and have street smarts instead of a head full of useless facts. Someone can also adjust their measure of betterness depending on what group they compare themselves too, so they always come out favorably (compared to regular people they're better because they're smart, compared to people who are also intelligent they're better because they're more well-rounded, etc.)
    Give people a chance, and don't get too high on yourself

    The point of this article isn't hard to figure out. If you give everyone the benefit of the doubt you'll often find that many people are much more layered and interesting than you might have thought at first. Here's an article that goes into more detail about the ways people may seem more shallow than they actually are.

    You refused to respond to my original post where I dominated you.

    Just take your defeat and leave this thread texxx. Your desperation is getting pathetic.
