No. You must immediately stop growing artichokes and begin going to museums that celebrate “black” art. ;)

BTW, I love artichokes. I think they were the fruit of the gods. Something in my history major tells me that. But it was a long time ago.

You’re right. “Allyship” is not a word.

White is a color.

I don’t know if her doctorate is an Ed.D. or a Ph.D. but it sounds more like an Ed.D. type degree.

Furthermore skin is an unthinking human organ.

Just as we all have different shaped toe nails, it make no difference in our ability to achieve.

It’s all bullshit and blacks who back this nonsense are just scam artists looking to make shame money and power, but they have a edge, whitey is retarded.

Except for this white boy.

How is one to ascertain the color of a potter, painter, sculptor, pianist, or photographer from viewing their work?

Only colleges can produce such monumentally stupid concepts.

I’m opting not to play along with trying to support people
who consider me to be a systemic racist.

Amazon has broken out all the black films. I went there a few weeks
back, and it looked like I had slid into BET by
mistake. I’ve avoided them like the plague.

Honestly, I have watched black films in the past and enjoyed
them. At the present time I refuse to support anything
black, period.

I apologize to FReepers of color. I still consider you good
people, it’s just that I have been insulted to the point I
don’t know what else to do, except refuse to play along.

It took quite a bit of ill will to get me to this point.

Watching other older white people get attacked across the
nation, it was clear it was no longer business as usual.

Black Lives Matter has been killing people, rioting against
businesses that are black owned. They’ve been looting and
burning establishments to the ground.

And there isn’t even a hint that any of this is on the
government’s radar.

Not only this, but then ANTIFA and a few misguided people
from the Right entered the Capital Building, and I have
been labelled a terrorist.

I’m not sure exactly what folks expected me to do, but I
have striven my whole live to be respectful of blacks.

I grew up 1.5 miles from the George Washington Carver national
monument. I frequented the place on occassion. I considered
Carver and Booker T. Washington to be people I respected
as a child and as an adult, trying never to treat a black person
improperly.

Now I’m like a public enemy number one.

I’ve had it.

Don’t apologize. You’ve done nothing wrong to these racist black hypocrites
except being born white; as designed by God.
Tell them to call God a racist bigot.

I agree, but I don’t want to leave blacks on our forum
thinking I don’t respect them.

Not only have whites as a whole done nothing wrong, it’s my opinion that most of the positive good in the world was brought about by whites. I am as far from being ashamed of being white as is possible. And I too refuse to play this game-calling me a racist means absolutely nothing to me, it’s as if the person saying it is speaking gibberish-I just don’t hear it, or only as so much noise.

“Liberal elitists intentionally invent and redefine words so they can “prove” their superiority through in-group language.”

And in the end, it’s just kids’ b.s.

“I have striven my whole live to be respectful of blacks...Now I’m like a public enemy number one... I’ve had it.”

Ditto X 150 million. (Yeah, there’s easily that many feeling this way.)

Good for you. I personally don’t give a shit what any black person thinks of me.
A race that is destroying itself in self genocide while forever blaming white people isn’t worth respect.

They sure love all the free shit the government gives them, paid for by white taxpayers!!
Sit on your ass, refuse to educate themselves, glorify criminals & illiterate athletes, murder each other at unbelievable rates, burn down black owned businesses, claim to be “African” when they’re no more African than Utah...blame white people.
What a life.
