some people's fears are based off of ACTUAL REAL LIVE incidents that happen to them in their past.  You may call it fear but others would call it being aware of your surroundings or eliminating a threat (don't care what you call it but its not for YOU to say how somebody else should feel in any situation you are not in or not shaped by your past)

Ok.  Your choice.  We all have a past but some recognise that the past isn't the future.  To each his own.

Mostly what Cops do too....right?   or am i mistaken...

Golly gee, that's swell...

Somehow you always seem to skip over the fact those same 'defenders of the law of the land'....you know... the most reliable witnesses there....found just cause...

You complained of too many Cops in response.....'ALL LYING BITCHES' ?....Just like that nice lady...whose livelihood was being assaulted?

Surely not a single one ever asked them to leave....before hauling them away in cuffs....makes perfect sense off course...

Yes, good that you skip that one....  

the question was what YOU did...you were neither a cop nor military. You only take, no support of laws with any sacrifice from you.

Yes I've notice a history of 'past posting' to cover tracks from many here....

all is good tho, as all are sometimes busy (this board should sometimes remember this)

but when you come back consider this...

starting fires from nothing (or free use of someone else service's) and then running, will not allow you to see....

The 'big gift' .... and the carnage result (you seem to desire).....

 

while you live with hypothetical carnage I'll live with the real ones like these:

58 killed - October 1, 2017 - In Las Vegas, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, sprays gunfire on a crowd of 22,000 concertgoers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, killing 58 people and injuring almost 500. 

27 killed - December 14, 2012 - Sandy Hook Elementary School - Newtown, Connecticut. Adam Lanza, 20, guns down 20 children, ages six and seven, and six adults, school staff and faculty, before turning the gun on himself. 

25 and an unborn child killed - November 5, 2017 - A gunman opens fire on a small church in Sutherland Springs, Texas killing 25 people and an unborn child and wounding 20 others

23 killed - October 16, 1991 - In Killeen, Texas, 35-year-old George Hennard crashes his pickup truck through the wall of a Luby's Cafeteria. After exiting the truck, Hennard shoots and kills 23 people. He then commits suicide.

In July 1917, following months of run-ins between black workers and white trade unions, a white mob descended on East St. Louis’ black district, where they shot, clubbed or beat black people to death, including children. The official death toll was 39 black deaths and nine white, although police estimated a death toll closer to 100, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The Elaine race riot of 1919

In Elaine, Arkansas, a posse of white men tried to break up a meeting of black sharecroppers attempting to form a union, according to various reports at the time. official dispatched to Elaine to interview witnesses, reported that “negroes were being hunted, and 250 shot down like beasts”.

 Sounds like the perfect place for you...you know...

If you were white....

Stick with the color, not what's right  Blackie....that's what you do

The whole while accusing others of it....and stating the goal is the opposite....

 

 

And you wonder why you come off....as stupid as you do..... 

you are the racist between the two of us, we all have proof of your nigg@r and blackie tirade.  stop hiding like a COWARD behind your bs "all are equal" façade and embrace who you really are.

Ask and ye shall receive....is that what you prefer?

Or even 'challenge'..... based off of a...... "double standard"?

As i hold no power over you.....you hold no power over me.....

 

But I can easily boil it down for you since you mentioned it.....

I will try and keep it short to the point (in case 'someone' is limited in comprehension)

 

How is this for a reference point? or view? 

Have enough vision at least, to see it thru....

 

As you point to 'someone else' using the john....and feel by right, you are now NOT TRESPASSING....

Anyone else can now point to you (or music, culture etc.), and claim by right to use your bathroom 'N' word...

Certainly no 'crime' has been committed here as well either.....0%...for me too

You told me so.....so it must be true....

 

 

anything else you would like to know???

So,  you know the power of words and were not using it as a term of endearment as it is between two friends.  im sure you will tell us what acting like a nigg@r is?  Is it complimentary or an insult?  Silly argument lurch.

Conversely, when we use the bathroom it's for the same purpose and intent...to expose of human waste.

See now you are just playing on TILT.....

Perhaps we should play poker instead...

If you can't stay on point...

There are certainly more fun games that we could play......

I think you may need to come up with some more 'chips' first....

 

Maybe ask "someone's" master for some?

giphy.gif

 

 

And I really am TRYING to catch all those insults tossed my way....

Sorry if I can't catch them ALL....

and one off your own...bounces back....

3. yep, you are correct on that one and you don't know if they were minding their own business the whole time, you weren't there.  Its what YOU WANT TO THINK that's what they were doing the whole time.  double dummy!!

Whoa..... what we not gonna do is start tossing around insults. Nope. I asked you legit questions, so you can chill the fuck out with all that dummy shit you talkin about, bitch. Don't come at me sideways. Don't give a damn who you are or what you do.... you not gonna disrespect me like that. So, if you wanna take it there, then let's take it there.

I am not god...

I am human...just like YOU

Everyone falls victim to hate....

Why would you lead...... or even push....or even challenge..... someone there...

You can't claim in others.... what you ignore first....

I cannot say who tossed the very very first insult, I can't even recall....that's how these things progress

 But I would still would prefer to stay on point, and hope you would too.

I toss a hell of alot of sarcasm in, just a way of emphasizing a point...

As you say....I don't know you, and you don't know me.

So really I could hope that you would see that anything I say is directed at the 'concept, theory, or argument' that is proposed...not the man himself....as such I hope that you will take anything I say as not directed at 'YOU' as a person....and also realize that I am not always typing as "ME" per say as well....

Hopefully these are just 'ideas' we are discussing...as I really intend no harm to you...

 

 

And if you were looking for anyone 100% godly...

You will never accept anyone...

 

As stated I will try to do better....

In an effort to clarify... and show a willingness to stay on point...I probably should address this...did not mean to gloss it over...apologies...

You counter is sure FINE..... as it should be free then and such ...... for white musicians to use in the same with white friends ...and in public no less.....and blasted over the radio and such.....endearment, no problem

That IS how you enforce "double standards" (the bestest of ways publicly) is it not?

And don't forget That any 'slip in anger and hate' must be taken the same as it would another of your own tribe...

Yeah like that will ever happen...silly argument me9_9...

Extra credit: If it did.. what a wonderful world it would be?

So don't take it so personalleeeeeeee

 

And seriously dude I should have probably gone back to it before I took on these threads...

For starters, each individual determines their own standard in the use of the word. Mine is NEVER with ANYONE.   Your intuitive enough to realize most of us older guys only see the word defined by its intended use in its original context which was slavery and civil rights. 

Nonetheless, you made it clear you meant to use it to dehumanize and demean.  So, don't be surprised you were met with the same disdain as if a black person or anyone else called him that.

 Let's do a test since you feel a freedom to use it, how about the next time you get upset with one of the brothers down there in Patterson you use it on them and let us know how it goes.  

I would advise to readdress it as you feel driven to do so, but an excuse for use would fall on deaf ears.

listen to this brief explanation from Ta nahisi Coates on the use of the word.

Of this I absolutely agree...

and bolded is correct, so no claim of innocence is taken....

and each tribe has their own word ( or several), maybe not so prominent...well known...or popular...but we all have one that represents...worst possible...yes some even refer to slavery

Not just 'whites' but any other non-black  tribe (whether they even view things 'equally' or not), see no reason to think that yours....

is any different or 'special'...

And quite honestly most scratch their heads as to why you would even use it "amongst youselves"...

But you see, These people have not thought it thru....

 

 

Think of it THIS WAY...

How could there be any better form of 'MICRO-AGGRESSION' than SHOUTING it in PUBLIC and even BREAKING OUT IN SONG...with it?

Where ONLY YOU (or your tribe as dominant)...can so wonderfully display .....that..

wait for it....

the best joke yet...

'AFFECTION' for your tribe .........as a standard (double that is for micro-aggression) calling card?

I must admit whoever thought of it (and rebounding that hate as micro-aggressing) must have been really clever...

as many do no see it to this day....and the 'culture' has certainly provided the 'cover'....

Even for the ones who do not recognize it, that is..... in fact the effect.....

one also must consider that many DO IN FACT (recognize it)....to the mix as well

 

Of course all of this is REALLY just moot....

As you told me....when oppressed in tribal conflict with 'double standard'...(and micro-aggressed to the max)

0% Trespassing for them...

 

Extra credit: do they REALLY want to say it?  Or are you just making them.....

 

BTW: There are even many who sing it...not even knowing what they do....

Like I said....who-ever thought up this one....yeah he was slick...

giphy.gif

 

There is even some train of thought that says...

That It's just as bad for you to say it (even affectionately) in their presence as it is based on that SAME VERY 'racial whip' that suppresses everyone.....

but tribe will always cover....and look away from themselves....or can you not see this?

 

just some .02

Your questions were insults but you don't get that.

and those were legit answers to your "legit" questions.  I don't have time to break this down any easier, either you get it or you don't.  Its apparent whether its sideways or backwards or what the fuck ever.

Again, what part of me saying 'as far as myself I don't accept the word in any form from anyone' doesn't make sense?  Do you read most of what's in a post?  We just had this conversation.

this was replied to you...not addressing you...

as information of how i view 'other' tribes taking it...

I actually could never envision you saying it (or even wanting to hear it in song)...but as we hear it everyday...

I thought best to offer some perspective...

 

I'll check back maybe tomorrow or later,  gotta go for a while now.

At least I'm glad we could clean this up a little...

thanks

whatever, I'm done, go wherever you think you want to go and have fun.  Just be careful using the restrooms wherever you end up.  I have no time to dance around bullshit like this with people who think that way.  You will never convince me and I'll never convince you and blah blah blah.  it doesn't affect me either way how people down in R-square or the rest of the country really act or get treated.  I act accordingly to the environment I am in, not the other way around.  And I avoid certain people for obvious reasons, I can tell the hate, the one sided views, the blindness from a block away.    

Again, my life is pretty great whether someone is allowed to use a public toilet or not WITHOUT first patronizing the business.  And one small, plain, 4 ounce Starbucks coffee with no cream or sugar for like $3 could have avoided all of this.  Its called a courtesy, it really is that simple.

What was this lawsuit involving?

What are  you getting at ....? You keeping up with the facts of the case detective? Apparently not .... 

People can sue for anything these days. Doesn’t mean it has any legs ..... like this one. Go look at the other thread. It’s a frivolous lawsuit with no merit.

I had intended to say no more on this matter. However, after listening to the ABC interview with the two individuals who were "escorted out" of the Starbucks and to the local police station, I will say this. If they were telling the truth in the interview they were wronged. Why do I say this? In the interview, they contend that after one asked to use the restroom and was told no, he did not. Further, both contended that even though an employee (store manager?) asked them if they wished to order anything to which they explained they were waiting on a third individual, they were not asked to leave the establishment until the police came. Finally, they both contend that the police got there within 5 minutes of their arrival even though they had not been asked to leave.  

If they are telling the truth, and I will stress if, for they are two sides to every story, then their treatment was grossly inappropriate. Why do I feel this way? It seems to me that the employee who asked whether they wished to order anything could simply have asked them to leave at the time they said they were waiting on another individual. I see no reason why the police should have been called at this stage unless they were asked to leave and refused. Now again I will state that my position is predicated on them being truthful in the ABC interview. 

I will leave it at that.
