You sound pretty young. You're all over the board posting the same stuff on a bunch of topics. I've read what you've had to say and I wish I could say something constructive and try to add positively, but what I'm more worried about that you will get lost in another of your rants and that I will have wasted my time...
Some of the people here are not even willing to give you the time of the day. It may come off as intolerant in retrospect and make you feel angry, but consider too that you may be part of the problem and getting in the way of your own arguments... |
That is my own people so that means I have to agree? This must mean you agree with the racist side of your own people, because they're your people? For whatever reason my post on response to that video was deleted I responded that she stereotyped black men to justify white cops fears, and she suggested that we sit down at a table and discuss it first of all which table? On many formats black people have spoken about this for years even on news channel but their concerns are mostly rebuffed . People are more concerned with proving their claims wrong rather than actually listening to their concerns. And I ended with even if all all lives matter can we still discuss the Mark Furhmans and Eric garners!
Well I'm glad you've read my posts. First time I see your name actually. I see you're quite new you must have come when I was on hiatus maybe. When you have to discuss the same thing over and over again with the same people you kind have a fair idea where everyone stands and it's highly unlikely you'll change their perspective, especially on a message board so yes at some point you just rant as you call and because you only see my latest posts, as per your new arrival to the board, you think that's all I'm about. I can only shrug.
Thanks on the I'm young comment but what relevance does it have to anything?
Some don't have the time for me you concluded, cool. Since I've been here I've only been close to 4 people. 2 have disappeared and one remains which I've told her that I have concerns about her still interacting with me because ever since I've talked more about racism, whether rants or not, things have become different and o don't want her viewed the same way.
How do you know I'm not active on this? Not hat it's any of your business but my dad owns a charity with this is one of things discussed. Telling me to stop discussing it/ranting it on a board while it's alright for you to write your lengthy analysis here? I suppose you think you're better than I am then?
How do you know my "rants" aren't a result of personal experience also?
Just this morning I had a chat with an elderly man seemed friendly kept a gentle tone to his voice. The convo went from discussing his friend dying of cancer to "so where do you come from then?" I thought he was talking about parts of London but he meant Country. After he commented on how the country is now racist and how lovely Australia is but not before he mentioned that they had a "white policy" before where people "like you [me] " couldn't enter the country. I added sort of like what Trump wants to do to the Muslims. The whole conversation ended with him telling I should probably go back to where I came from due to growing racism. He was acting like he was talking for my best interest. My friend was called a blackie and her boyfriend harassed because he's with her and family have experienced it. If you don't like this latest stage of me "ranting" girl, you can utilise block button.
