This isn’t what you’re doing you chickenshit twat. That was the point of my post. Just grow a sack and call them liars like you want to.
Damnit iiandyiiii, and look I get your iiiis right! it’s not flippant. You just are interpreting it with too much baggage. How do you listen to Eazy-E or Ice Cube or any of the pioneers of gangsta rap if every other word has so much potential baggage?
The ‘mean girls’? C’mon now, you know you enjoy a tiny bit of snark farming. A man has to have his hobbies so I don’t hold it against you. Especially as you’re in my top 5 posters.
Some of them are liars. Which is what I said in a post above. Some of them are making the legitimate cost/benefit calculation that takes into account probabilities of being a victim of a legitimate fear. I haven’t done a survey. I just gave one example of a potential action one might take if one is in mortal fear.
Speaking of which, there is an ATMB thread on that very subject active at this very moment. Hive assemble! Racist alert in ATMB! BZZZZZZZZ!!!
…I’m not sure what these have to do with each other. Are you aware of different dialects of English like AAVE?
If you just want me to admit that I enjoy tweaking Shodan for his racism, then sure – I do. But I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t also want to inform others, and maintain the hope that maybe one day he’ll realize his (perhaps unconscious) racism and want to change. I recognize that the desire to tweak/annoy/vex someone else, even for racism, isn’t really a positive thing in myself that I should want to encourage.
It took less than 24 hours for you to resort to form. Couldn’t fucking resist, could you. Whine of Christ, you’re a predictable fucking imbecile.
Yeah, the hive stuff is pretty silly. A lot of the issues I spend the most time on the board arguing about are ones that I get a lot of pushback from both liberal and conservative Dopers for (reparations and sexual assault/rape, most prominently). I recognize that my positions on these issues are outside of the mainstream, even on the left.
What’s with the “honorary mean girl”? What does that mean?
There was a movie, right? Beyond that, I don’t know.
It doesn’t take a lot of words not to be an asshole.
Conversely, if you express offensive things, it doesn’t really matter if you use 10 words or 10,000. You’re being called out on substance, not on syntax.
Sounds like something the hive would say.
Also, my fellow hive-minders, should we let octopus in on the secret SDMB forum in which we carefully coordinate our responses to racist rantings from certain members? Or do we keep the Queen’s instructions quiet as we always have?
Bzzz bzzzz bzzzzz!
If you are going to avoid topics because of a fear that someone somewhere may think badly of you that’s sort of pathetic.
NPC! NPC! ORANGE MAN BAD! HIVE MIND SHEEPLE!
Y’all are pathetic with this persecution bullshit.
“Everyone says I’m an asshole. This can’t be true. Therefore, it must be the hive mind.”
So name one time that I’ve avoided talking about race on this message board.
If you’re going to intentionally offend people that means you’re an asshole; it’s clear from your posts that you don’t care if you’re an asshole. That makes you a dick.
So you are one of the fools who think if you are in a situation like the Hutus genociding the Tutsis that you would have to stay in your hut and wait for the machetes and screwdrivers until the check for $200,000 cleared and you had papers to immigrate to Burundi or Uganda? Will guess what? Enjoy being chopped while those with a bit more sense lace up their running shoes and get the hell out of whatever the Rwandan equivalent of Dodge is.
Hmm… when you put it that way perhaps I need to reconsider.
Do any of them know?
Do octopi consider their ink to be a “friend”?
I noted carefully the conditions you stipulated. My impressions of the reality in which I find myself lead me to understand that, with a vanishingly small number of exceptions, it is NOT an option. They also lead me to understand that the vast majority of individuals for whom it IS an option have found themselves a niche, if you will, in which emigration is not the optimal choice for them to make.
This all leads me to conclude that, while suggesting that it’s an option is not in and of itself racist, it IS pig-ignorant.
