Blacks are just so offended all the time, and I know it is not all of them, the ones I know that think like me get grief from their own community, they get called Uncle Toms, they get called Geeks but words don’t hurt them.
MLK Jr was about that. let a man be judged by his character.
I grew up with blacks,italians,irish,lebonese,syrians,greeks,orthodox russian,ukraine,estonia,scotts,welsh
Was called a Honky or Hunkie all my life, even though I consider myself a Dumb Mick.
We called the Italians Dagos, they laughed, we were all brothers.
There is only one group in that place and in the US that is perpetually pissed.
The Underground railway was in my town.
You can find the hideaways today.
I was recently with a black friend barbecueing on his deck. He looked over and saw an old white neighbor barbecuing on his deck a couple houses down. He told me the old white guy was a dick. I asked him why he thought the guy was a dick. My friend said that one day when he was trimming the hedges and doing lots of yard work the old white guty was walking by and made a crack about the joys of home ownership.
What me and you would interpret as a joke or small talk about how much work you have to put into your house and yard, he interpreted as a racist statement that this must be his first time living in a home and not an apartment because he's a black guy.
It wasn't worth the headache of me telling him that he read way too into the innocuous statement.
I dated a black woman for a while, in fact we were going to get married, however, every time we went some where she found a reason to be mad at some white person.Always she found someone who was "dissing" her. Her family was just as bad.I finally couldn't take it any more and broke it off. Her son, from a marriage that went bad, ended up killing a white guy a few years after I broke up with her and is now spending the rest of his life in Prison, without parole.
The only other group of people in America who are constantly pissed are the Muslims.
