Well, the only person I see being confronted at the door happens to be white. So that's the only person we can compliment.


I read jumping jacks. I think people are impressed by that white woman's demeanor, her explanation of the circumstances, and even have the audacity to propose this white woman outsmarted this student organization by requesting to keep their poster.

The person who suggested that the member outsmarted the student organization was wrong on that aspect. I saw a video where the student offered the poster to the young lady and she accepted it.

White people: Outsmarting presumptuous, emotional, angry racial and ethnic minorities for centuries and counting.

And, you just answered your question from earlier about why people who don't generally reply in threads that have any racial tones/aspects. Because we know that no matter what we say, you and DeltaBetaBaby are going to come in, tell us that we're in the wrong no matter what our opinions are and just lump us all together under "white people". You're going to be insulting and demeaning to other posters all while telling us how insulting and demeaning our actions are.

Now, I'm going to be a good white person, drive my Ford Taurus home, sit in my Laz-Y-Boy lounger, eat a white bread and mayonnaise sandwich, and watch reruns of The Brady Bunch and dream of the old days. Hope I covered all of my white sins in this paragraph.

I don't care why people don't normally post in threads. I'm just amused that this is the thread that gets a celebratory response. Now spare me the conundrums of whiteness.

The worst aspect is that it's a moving goalpost. This "I'm not a costume" bullshit is basically a new thing. I get blackface, but the rest of these folks really don't have much of an historically valid argument. At some point, it's just people being offended or feigning it in order to control the behavior of others.

What's next? Is someone going to accuse me of cultural appropriation and being offensive when I play in the Nutcracker this December? Should I think a Russian saying that's offensive has a strong argument and should be respected?

Are you under the impression that I'm not a white person? If I thought all white people were always wrong about everything related to race, well, that would present me with quite the logical conundrum.

My comments about your recent postings are about your actions, not any particular ethnicity you identify with.
