I wouldn’t overanalyse it, as I said, she’s just an idiot with a microscopic outlook on life and the world in general.
She continually interprets “your opinion is shit” as “you’re not allowed to have any opinion.” Such a tiresome dope. Her folksy shtick is way past its sell-by date.
This is not (by my intent at least TBC) attempting to belittle your opinions on Beck, but seriously, if you feel, as @MrDibble explicitly mentioned, that it’s trolling or an artificial shtick, then it’s probably time for one of you to start a dedicated pit thread.
There’s been enough material in this thread for that to be a valid opinion, even if I don’t share it, and even I will grant that there is an unfortunate pattern of unthinking acceptance that her condition of comparative social privilege is a universal so it’s not exactly a one-off problem.
So the number and type of complaints/patterns has probably grown beyond the scope of this thread for some posters at least.
Again with my age. You’d be surprised of my age.
But, I’ll not argue that point, apparently my Daddy was right, I was born old.
Ok, I live in a small small world. My life has been sheltered for most of my life.
I live far away from a community that is not my near and dear. Racism has not been a part of my existence.
I’ve taken myself out of that thread because I was afraid it was turning into a Beck-show.
As much as I like attention, I certainly don’t like that kind.
I thought it a tangent and not on-topic.
See, WE, I’m learning.
ETA…if you’re ignoring me how can you possibly have an opinion on me? Hmmm
Excellent, that is good news.
Back to P&E for me though.
Good luck with that pursuit.
If you are surrounded by people who casually use very well known, very reviled slurs for plant names, racism is part of your existence. The people who use it know how bad it is, and yet they use it anyway. And assume that the person they are saying it to won’t mind. If that is the environment that surrounds you, you are swimming in racism.
In fear of going against the Mod, I’ll say it ‘One More Time’…I don’t use the term.
I said, AGAIN, “it’s commonly known by that offensive term”.
How can I be any clearer?
Did you read it in Better Arkansas Homes and Gardens? Hear it on Arkansas news reports? No? Then you heard it from the people around you. You are surrounded by casual racism. How can I make that any clearer?
I think my old Granny said it, oh, about 100 years ago. She’s dead
I might’ve heard it in elementary school. Don’t associate with those people.
I might have read it somewhere.
I was raised by a black woman, Miss Laurie, she might’ve said it. She’s dead.
So, no these people are not in my life.
(Sorry, Miller. I won’t respond anymore)
Kinda missing the outrage.
The outrage is that Beck thinks the people offended by the clearly offensive should just shut the fuck heck up.
I see you do like attention. It seems you want attention here and will say outrageous things to get it.
When I was upset by your comment in a certain thread, your reply implied you enjoy pissing people off.
It is getting old.
And the place you live is commonly described as, “Away down South in the land of traitors, rattlesnakes, and alligators”.
Oh, cool, idiot fight!
No fight.
Oh cool, someone imagines I’m an idiot.
Looks like shit stirring to me.
We’re in the pit, dumbass. And you’re probably the only person even dumber and more of a hick than Becks on this board, so I find it amusing that you diss her, of all people.
She wasn’t dissing Beck, reread the exchange.
She’s dissing @crowmanyclouds.
I read about how stupid you are somewhere on the internets but I can’t figure out how to post a link to it.
Sorry if I misunderstood the exchange, but there was no quote in @SuntanLotion 's post, so I thought her post was about our current poster of honor. But I already knew that she is to dumb to quote anything.
I don’t see how you can say that. @crowmanyclouds never talked about not seeking attention. @SuntanLotion’s post had no indication of what post or poster she was replying to. I think your assumption is wrong.
