1 thread started by a racist too dumb to see his racism and 2 pages of comments of racists defending him. It’s racist to call a black person dumb just because he has a regional accent that differs from your own regional accent. The way you speak isn’t a direct correlation to your intelligence. To ignore all the accomplishments of Lamar Jackson, to call a QB dumb, a position that has been denied Black athletes for decades for the very reason that it’s not just a physical position but one that requires leadership and intelligence, and to then ask if he graduated kindergarten is simply a call for other small minded hating ass haters to gather round and make fun of a man who (through no fault of his own) grew up in poverty and segregation. You’d think that you’d stop making fun of the way black people spoke after hearing Chris Rock’s stand up. You’d think you’d stop making fun of the way black people spoke after hearing Michael Johnson, Mike Tyson and 50 cent increase their vocabulary the more they became integrated and interviewed. It’s just a dialect and not a real indicator of someone’s intellect. And it’s only stupid or dumb if the accent is foreign to you.

Because women don't complain about things that aren't truly problematic. Me too was about sexual harassment. This whole trans-movement was started by white men and gay movement was also started by white men. Blame yourselves.

What once seemed like a somewhat funny movie filled with insulting stereotypes of American southern culture seems more like a documentary today.

Well, I hope it’s not true!

It’s just weird how the sky is without a cloud and then 2 hours later the entire skyline is filled with checkerboards of lines. The trails don’t come out of passenger planes. They come out of very tiny places that you can barely see. What is their purpose? I started noticing them during Covid. I would come to work and notice big X’s in the sky. I thought, how weird? Why would the rest of the lines disappear and only leave X’s? That’s when I started noticing the lines in the sky. It can’t just be weather related because I’ve seen them created during a lunch hour. Sometimes the lines fluff out into large clouds. You’d think the clouds were natural but were in fact just plane contrails spread out. (Our lunch area is on the top of our building and overlooks the city.)

Why do you all pretend helping the disadvantaged is wrong?
peenie replied to peenie's topic in The Geek Club
I just want you all to stop defining the poor and needy by looking at the scammers and those who are unmotivated to work. Sometimes people need help, temporarily. If you can understand why the Titans and Browns need help you should also understand why people who fall on hard times need help too. -
I watched that entire video, did you guys actually watch the whole thing? So….I received welfare and food stamps in the early 90’s. You couldn’t own a car, you couldn’t have any assets like a savings or CD account because that is money. I can’t relate to any of these modern people being proud of getting food stamps and bragging about having many children and living off of government assistance. I wonder if some of these people are just making it up for views and trying to go viral?

I lived in an extremely poor urban area where many people received food stamps and I can tell you that I rarely saw anyone abusing or scamming. The worst thing I witnessed was people selling their food stamps for cash. Meaning, they would give $20 of food stamps for $10 cash. Look, I received food stamps and welfare and I didn’t stay on it for long. I got a job and my child grew up and got a great education and got married. We are all successful. We even help support our family members who are struggling. The system works. Stop complaining and be grateful our wonderful country that has safety nets for its citizens.

I think most people need it but yes, some are lazy-asses. They also need it so they’re not breaking in houses stealing or begging for money.

No one is getting rich off a food stamps. Have you ever even been to a grocery store in a poor neighborhood? They barely have a good cut of steak. I never even saw good cuts of meat until I moved to Georgia. They don’t offer things like lobster and premium cuts of meat in poor neighborhoods.
-
The average mother and child receives $372/month in food stamps. How much do you spend a month on groceries?
-
As I’ve stated earlier trust you are likely seeing a scammer, not a real poor person. Instead of seeing a criminal abusing the system you blame tire poor who need those very food stamps or you blame the system. See the difference??? The government does not give out food stamps in large quantities to allow anyone to buy food like that unless there is a lie or a scam.
-
You just said there yourself that work gives you dignity, right? Having to pull out food stamps, which is charity for people who are currently unemployed or underemployed, makes people feel ashamed. The card allows them to blend in with others who are using a credit card to buy food. Surely, you can understand my point.

Is your Christmas tree still up? When will you take it down? My decorations are still up.

People who don’t want children and make efforts, such as birth control and abstinence, aren’t having children. The only people who are having children that don’t want them and can’t afford them are people who had unplanned pregnancies. The only way to get rid of an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy is through abortion.
-
I agree, that’s why we shouldn’t make abortion illegal.
