peenie 1,915 Posted April 29, 2021 Can we have one week where we don't discuss anything about race? We can call it a Blackout. The first week in May can be the Blackout. Challenge yourselves not to think about race, not to be influenced by race topics in the news and in social media. Also, let's not try to be funny and still talk about race without using the word black or African American. I want you guys to see and feel the manipulation of the media and just to feel the reality of your environment. I don't think you all are really as racist as the "bored" seemingly has become. I enjoy this place, but it's becoming unwelcoming but you may not see it because you're not me and you all seem to bond by getting together and bashing black people. Even if you don't participate, I will not discuss anything regarding race next week. I hope you will join me. Your life will be happier. Blacks don't hate whites, we don't hate Asians and we don't hate the police. I think the media is doing a very poor job of relaying the general public's true feelings. Try to see the world with your own eyes and not through the prism of the media. Bless up! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utilit99 4,099 Posted April 29, 2021 I think you are asking the wrong group of people to stop talking race. You may want to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why you vote the way you do. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 1,915 Posted April 29, 2021 This isn't about voting, this is about this place, this is about you! Do you know how many threads there are with the words Black in it? I don't mean how many threads are about black people, that would be practically all of them. Just the threads with the word black: ESPN says the NFL has to take Black people first Black Supremacy The new agenda to change history to black Retired black police officer has had enough Black man murders one year old Black man shot at traffic stop I'm saying for your own health to stop this focus on race. Just try it next week, let's give it a rest. I'm going to be the first to stop. I'm starting today. Let's just focus on other parts of our lives. Not race you guys. Let's talk about money, your children, sports (without the focus of the color of the players), travel, your job, future goals, I mean let's stop the race talk just for 1 week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 5,317 Posted April 29, 2021 We're all sick of talking about it too. We don't want to deal with race all the time. If Godzilla rips your roof off and fills your house with sh*t, and comes by every day with another delivery, it's kind of hard to go a week and not talk about the sh*t that's flooded your house. And that's what the MSM does with race. They filled the country with sh*t and just keep coming back to pour in more and more. It isn't the Geek Club that does this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is, it's really not... but it is. Meaning, I don't dislike black people for everything going on, but I'm finding that my disdain for white liberals is massively increasing. It's also starting at the Democrat political arena and being pushed down to the media. I think black people and other minorities are coming around to that as well. Trump gained ground last November in every minority demographic. The only demographic he lost ground in, was white white people. It's a small sign of hope. I think the Democrats know this as well. I think it's partly why the Arbery case is going to be federally prosecuted. They Dems know they're not going to win a case GA, so they're creating trumped up (no pun intended), charges so that they can make a big spectacle out of it. They're trying to push "White Supremacy" and the "KKK" down the throat of black people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted April 29, 2021 People have been ignoring the violence in this country for too long. When the president is going on stage and talking to the nation and making up crap about white supremacy in this country, and ignoring the truth of black violence, it's never time to stop talking about this. Because your elected officials and your favorite talk shows won't. They just preach hatred. https://heyjackass.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
