I’m confused here.

A bunch of people on FR are screaming for people to revolt against mask rules, but then act revolted because it is someone black doing it?

” think that it is only in America. The Blacks I have talked from Black Countries say the people there act civilized.”

I’ve noticed that, as well. Blacks from, say, Trinidad, or Nigeria, look down on American blacks, and consider them lowlifes and...well, barbarians.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of overt dislike of black people on FR. I hate that aspect of this site. I am policy position driven, not skin tone driven.

I got a good dose of this dislike for blacks during the recent Staples incident where a white mask Nazi Karen yelled something to a black woman that had her mask down, then when she confronted her, the mask Nazi tried to poke her cane into the black woman’s body. Unfortunately, it was clear that most people were bothered by the fact that a black person defended herself against a crazy white person.

So yes, a lot of people seem to be against masks on FR (like me), but not if a black person doesn’t want to wear one! Then it’s all “they have no self control, blah blah blah”

We defunded the police.

I believe, under newspeak, the professionals to which you were referring, are called "social workers."

“ I’ve noticed that, as well. Blacks from, say, Trinidad, or Nigeria, look down on American blacks, and consider them lowlifes and...well, barbarians.“

I stopped at the guard gate to enter an industrial site several years ago. The guard is from Trinidad and I have known him for probably 15 years. He launched in on a rant about American blacks that was rather uncomfortable at the time as I thought “that would get me fired in about one nanosecond “ but today I find rather humorous.

Not revolted at all, just an observation that when certain folks get torqued up the usual response is for them to throw down on each other, or others.
You read into what you want.

And yet I see employees at these companies that direct all to wear a mask don’t wear the mask properly. Just covering your mouth is not correct. It has to cover both nose and mask. Those who just wear it on the chin are worth special consideration.

You apparently didn't understand what some Freepers were upset about, so let me repeat it for you.

After knocking down the older woman, who broke her leg in the fall, the unmasked crusader just left her there without helping her or seeking help for her.

I hope you have a more accurate dose now.

I despise masks. I’m on her side and admire her bravery. I don’t cqre if she’s purple.

Oh I understood exactly what happened because I watched the video. Mask Nazi Karen yelled something to someone not even close to her, then couldn’t back it up when someone actually stood up to her mask bullying.

Also, most people were upset that no one at all helped her, not that the person that did it didn’t help her.

I clicked on this to confirm an assumption. I was right.

Does this make me a bigot, or just very good at playing the odds?

The abuse heaped on grammar these days is just awful.

I agree.

“AA needs to ban hippos.”

If they did that, they’d ban Biden’s campaign manager, unless that weird critter is defined as a walrus.

Looks like the total weight of the brawlers was close to 400 pounds. The person who looked like a flight attendant might have weighed 110. Dangerous for her to wade into that mill.

I don’t in this instance. I hate the bogus mask rule and I ignore our mayor’s edicts in that regard. But if I enter another’s property and they ask me to put one on I will. It is their property and I will respect their rules.

If they weren't doing it because of government edicts, I might be tempted to agree with you. The "private property" disclaimer is void on this subject.
