    You see the typical guys who know their use of the term "woke" is a derogatory term. Same guys, different day. They lash out at anyone who sees them for who they are. They like when their tag team of anti-woke heroes acting like bigots and racists say horrible stuff, and deflect by trying to make someone who accepts diversity and culture as a good thing as the racist.

    Oh, I don't speak for minorities. I empathize with their concerns and don't run around categorizing BLM and such as the bad guys like so many on here. I actually believe there are good law abiding citizens who want change and protest for change. They come in all colors. I actually empathize with children and teens who aren't "normal" as the anti-gay bigots like to term them, and feel sorry for kids who have parents who would toss them on the street than accept them for who they are. Ignorance and hate is the best way I can describe it.

    I thought you had all those white racist guys on ignore. How can you possibly see them? "Same guys, different day."

    something's fishy here

    You're trying to paint everyone in your brush because you need to feel everyone thinks like you do. Do you volunteer for anything? My guess is no but if you do credit. I coach AAU for free in my spare time. BLM leaders are scam artists. It's obvious. Plus, a vast majority of people took advantage of racial tensions to loot and steal while burning businesses to the ground. Here's a newsflash Deb, you can support minority rights and help out all while realizing that the premise is bullshit. I don't see you in any threads talking about Asian violence or Hispanic issues. You're glued to what your party wants you to be.
    I got news for you; black people don't respect or like your type. They're not incapable and certainly don't want some white liberal chick fighting their battles for them. Instead of crying on the internet go actually do something. My guess is you won't. If you spent as much time volunteering as you do crying about Trump from your sofa you'd actually make a difference. Like I said, people like you are why our society is ****ed up and my tax dollars go to support people like yourself who don't deserve it

    The lacking in self awareness. b****ing about someone speaking for Black folks while you are doing the exact same.

    This is a common right wing tactic. Find a Black person who agrees on your views on race and other social and economic views. Lambast a leftist for not agreeing with him with some line like "oh so you don't want to listen to this black man, you must be racist" while at the same time ignoring the 90% of Black folks who disagree with that individual.

    I mean you guys are really creeping now. It seems like an actual discussion of the issues isn't on the table now for you guys so now it's poster history poo flinging.

    Grow up professor.

    I see one side of this debate typing their sincere thoughts and another side making fun of people for being sincere. Honestly this is a common amongst right wing/conservative banter. When you push the line just use the "I'm just kidding" fall back. I've seen it ad nauseam by now from multiple right wing circles I've interacted with.

    You're the male version of her lol. A washout who is mad at his family, went to the military because it was your only option, rinse and repeat.

    Find a black person? Wow you're more clueless then I thought. Some of us don't need to look for black people as they're around us daily. You're a lunatic but I get this is all you have. I'll give you the same suggestion I gave her; get off your ass and volunteer instead of crying on the internet. For as much **** as you guys give Roc Paint (and he certainly deserves a lot of it) at least he did that. You're only voice is here because you're not man enough to step up to the plate like all your lib buddies. You just cry and let real men do the heavy lifting

    I have no desire to be under yours or anyone's skin. I really don't. But just by debating you and challenging your views, I've gotten under your skin.

    That says more about you than me. You are triggered, it's just a question of whether you want to admit it to yourself or not.

    If you can't handle people challenging your views on here without getting angry and going ballistic on them, I suggest you find a safe space to post.

    actually to be a good professor it's very helpful not to be "grown up"

    and you know what the Greek and Latin roots of "scholarship" are? schole and scola

    those words mean something like "leisure." School and scholarship are things we do for fun, in our leisure time, as opposed to work. Leisurely scholarship is done in a playful rather than a workmanlike manner.

    you should try it some time ;)

    You point to a person of color who agrees with your views and call people racist for not agreeing with said person while ignoring the majority of people of color disagreeing with said individual.


    And you speak for Black people just like your last post when you said "most Black people would not like you".

    Because I actually do things in the community unlike yourself. I coach AAU for free. I participate in food drives and food trucks. I help people generate income. I'm actually around black people, Asians, Hispanics unlike yourself who used the term "look for black people ". You're a fruad just like deb is. They don't like people like yourself or her who think you speak for them. You only do it to feel better about yourself not because you care. If you did you would have defended yourself by saying how you help. You talk on the internet.

    You can say all these things online but I doubt you do any of them due from the personality type you express.


    Again, you literally are speaking for Black people saying they would hate her and then calling people racist because you claim they speak for Black people. You find a Black person you agree with, and call someone racist for not agreeing with said person while ignoring the vast majority who disagree with said individual.

    We have things like voting records and polling data to have a general idea of what views are popular and what aren't from Black community. There is no singular representative for that community. Hence why we go by polling and voting data.

    Quite frankly, I doubt most of your views here are fleshed out. More than likely your motivation to post here has nothing to do with sincere discussion but rather rustling jimmies because you probably need some sense of control and command over other humans and this is your only outlet to satisfy that desire. Your goal is to "trigger".

    I've had sincere debates with conservative posters here. You aren't a poster one has sincere debates with.

    Wokeness apparently means to lose one's sense of humor :cool:

    NO JOKES, PLEASE, WE’RE LIBERAL
    If Fox News were truly fair and balanced, would it be as much fun to watch? While the right enjoys a laugh, media liberals have become the new conservatives: a stodgy, humorless Ivy League elite.

    Eh. It seems like the only type of humor posters like you express are when another poster you ideologically disagree with expresses their sincere thoughts and you find a way to make fun of their sincerity. Maybe people just don't find that type of humor funny? You can't force people to find your type of humor funny.

    It's one of those things "you know it when you see it."
