The bolded: If any of you have been walking around in the good ol' US of A, thinking that there are NOT folks among us who hate you just because of the way you look, wake the **** up! Black people who hate white people simply because they are white have been around for literally centuries, so this is nothing new. If you are going to dismiss all black people, simply because a minority of them hate you because you are white, what makes you different than the white folk who dismiss all black people simply because they hate black people?

Said another way: If we all implement what Scott Adams said, then the racists will have won.
Don't forget all the white people who seem to hate blacks, just because they're black. Every time a news article comes out and the offender is black, so many here dive into racist comments about the jungle, animals, etc. It's pretty bad. Then they claim they're not racist. So making sweeping racist comments doesn't make you racist...? Please explain.

Gads - I have black neighbors right now, had them beside me in my DC townhome and next door in my first house bought after getting married....zero issues, nada none...
Worked for black minority (8a) gov't contractors and had black bosses and lots of black colleagues/employees - never an issue either. 35 years as a Federal manager and not a single EEO or discrimination or harassment complaint, which is an accomplishment. I don't treat anybody differently from anybody else and it shows, people pick up on my no-BS demeanor quickly.

As to unsafe areas, yeah those exist, some have predominately minority residents, some can have redneck, creeps. (I could tell you stories about the Bubba's in the 5th district of Maryland)

My wife's best friend growing up cut all ties back in 2020 when the George Floyd bullshit was going on. She's married to a very cool black guy.
She posted some messed up stuff on fb and told my wife that she is a "danger to my family/kids" because she is/was a vocal Trump supporter.
Said that if you aren't part of the solution, you are the problem.

I don't miss her, she was a c**t.
I do miss seeing her husband.

What proof do you have of this? This is EXACTLY the sort of NAACP bulsshit that keeps getting thrown around when it's not true. I don't hate blacks, but I'm damn close to it. I'm 61 and have been attacked/ attempted mugged/ carjacked at gun point/ etc 7 times in 6 vastly different cities in the last 45 years. What is the ONE thing they all had in common? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE CRIMINALS WAS BLACK.

I don't hate blacks because they are black, I hate them because they target me for crmes, and then their entire community stands up to defend them and blame me. Most of the time I hear "Well you shoulda stayed outta da hood!", regardless of the fact that I was in MY own home neighborhood. If a black person isn't safe in a white neighborhood, then everybody goes batshit crazy, but if a white person isn't safe in a black neighborhood- it's their own fault. Bull shit. Too many endless double standards and excuses.

The whole issue exists because the black community won't take responsibility to clean up their own mess. If they did, there wouldn't be any reason for them as a whole to be hated by every other cultural group around them.

Nope. Some white people hate some blacks because of their actions not their skin color.

I've followed him on twitter for years, he's becoming a professional victim.

Now he's bitching that his publisher pulled the plug on his upcoming book and his book agent has dropped him too.

In Oakland CA and Richmond Ca, while living there, I experienced close to the same thing. The guys trying to beat me to death with baseball bats and steal my delivery truck, I just drove right through them. They got out of the way. This was 1979, BTW. Been jumped/mugged several times prior to that. Pretty much no violence after 2002, when I moved away.

Stockton, Ca
Riverside, Ca
Los Angeles, Ca
Tampa, Fl
Loma Linda, Ca
Orlando, Fl

Most neighborhoods were near a college campus. Riverside takes the cake- that's where I saw a 3 year old child in daipers walking around the parking lot with his daddy's Uzi threatening people. Lucky it was unloaded, he would have shot the cops who reponded, as he pointed the gun, yanked on the trigger and was cussing at them as they approached.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I might add that only Riverside had a serial killer loose in the neighborhood I lived in at the time also. I guess I'm just lucky.

What I learned, after awhile as a thinking, functioning human being is that there are MANY feral animals out there who appear human, yet have none of the human qualities. Only animal qualities. That's why the liberals can't convert Muslims to think like them, that's why 5 year olds with criminal parents head-kick class-mates trying to kill them, and why a whole race helps themselves to free stuff any time there is a disaster or nobody is looking. We, as thinking people, PROJECT that others MUST be like us deep down, but they are not. You're not going to talk a Great White shark from taking a bite out of you. You're not going to rehabilitate a Feral.

Abraham Lincoln had a lot to say about the black, Negro, colored, people in this country.

He was going to send as many of them that he could back to Africa after the civil was was over. Referring to Liberia!

Here are a couple of his quotes.

"I am not now nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality." Abraham Lincoln, Sept. 18, 1858 at Charleston, Illinois.



"I can conceive of no greater calamity than the assimilation of the ***** into our social and political life as our equal. . . We can never attain the ideal union our fathers dreamed, with millions of an alien, inferior race among us, whose assimilation is neither possible nor desirable.-Abraham Lincoln"

Hence why I gave up on Califrnia and moved back to a rural location in Florida. Now, in the last ten years, they've built 3 low rent ghetto apartments within 3/10 of a mile of me, and are ripping out 11 acres of woods across the street to build low rent housing. I can't get away from the vermin.
