I love how these troll assholes are always “Got to go to sleep for my big-boy job. Laters, chumps” like a) we give a fuck b) fapping to chair-themed porn in Mommy’s basement is a “job” ---

> [@stuccosuperstar2020](#): > > An obvious underhanded racist, turning around the argument to make the one respectful towards the possible feelings of a black person to be the blatant racist. What I don’t understand is that your OP effectively said, “Hello, everyone. What did you think of this? Was it cowardice? Virtue signaling? Or what?” And now, for reasons that aren’t clear, you are taking great offense to people telling you what they think of it. Did you post the OP thinking everyone would pat you on the back, or what? Makes no sense to me. I don’t think you are a racist but I agree with the white fragility take. This is an opportunity to reflect inward about the racial stereotyping that led to the decision you made to do nothing. Also, I have to say, presenting yourself as someone who really wants to be enlightened and then refusing to even consider reading a landmark book about the subject suggests you don’t really care as much as you think you do. I’m not saying you _have_ to read the book, but to not even consider it speaks volumes. Do you want to grow from this experience, or not? ---

If you look at the “revising manual” thread linked by Darren above, I think you might see a pattern. I see someone who is claiming to be trying so hard to be woke, but it’s just so fucking hard when definite black people are involved. Bullshit stories to get a rise out of people. He’s probably a sock who is and always was a troll. In my not very humble opinion. ---

I mean, this is getting to be like if Mayweather REALLY decided to fight Logan Paul. Haymakers ? I’m not going to comment on the degree of self-delusion this suggests . But without implying any sockitude, I just have to remark that the only other Doper I’ve seen who I’d expect to see that word from was **dougie\_monty**. It evokes a bittersweet sense of nostalgia, actually. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > What I don’t understand is that your OP effectively said, “Hello, everyone. What did you think of this? Was it cowardice? Virtue signaling? Or what?” I especially don’t understand how not doing anything—acting in an undetectable manner—could possibly have been virtue signaling. It’s the Invisible Pink Uniform of pseudo-wokeness. If no one even knew it happened, how is it signaling anything to anyone, let alone “virtue”? ---
