Come on, man, let's not push it. It's uncivilized and beneath us to make light of something used so commonly to denigrate another race... if we want people to believe we're not racists just by being white, we need to act better than that.
I am multiracial. Even though I look white. I was just kidding with what I said anyway. It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously.

I get that, but I'm saying, there are lines we shouldn't cross... like calling someone a tar baby, a gorilla or a chimp, calling people zipperheads or something similar - there's no positive cultural benefit from it and nothing but hurtful and harmful things that separate us and increase the hatred and division in our society.

Yes, and it would be nice if there were lines the other races would respect, too. This whole "racism" nonsense has become so one-sided that it's absurd. Bashing whites has become so trendy that it's almost a sport, but a white person has to watch everything they say and walk on eggshells else they're a "Nazi" or a "Klansman". I'm done walking on eggshells. The SJW pukes can call me whatever makes them moist. I don't care.

Being considerate and not making insensitive racist-based comments isn't walking on eggshells. It's being a good human and trying to foster goodwill after centuries of abuse. I'm not asking anyone to walk on eggshells. I'm just saying, you have to make a little effort and be considerate if you want things to change... or you can stoke the fire and push people's buttons and complain about how you're misunderstood and how everything's unfair. Not YOU, you, per se, I'm speaking of "you" in a general sense.

I'm just saying, people, we need to be at least somewhat considerate - it's called taking the moral high road.

Maybe it just comes down to perspective. If a person isn't racist and doesn't surround themselves by racist people, all this talk about how racism exists might seem over exaggerated because it might not exist in their particular worldly experience.

Agreed - and the making obviously inflammatory comments wasn't what I meant by walking on eggshells - it's become a whole lot more than that for the white community. Minorities (and SJWs) have become regular Sherlock Holmes' when it comes to looking for something a white person does or says that they can find offensive. It's ridiculous. Meanwhile, whites can be openly demeaned in comedy skits, movies, and more and more - in the press. Headlines happily declaring the decline in white populations while gaslighting that whites thinking that they are being replaced is a "conspiracy theory". "Uneducated white votes", "white nationalist" this and that, white privilege - white boogeymen everywhere. Hate crimes charges are heavily one-sided in our justice system, even when it's obvious a non-white perpetrator used race as a motivator (and I don't believe in "hate crime" charges, anyway). Hell, a black Muslim woman got elected to Congress, and then proceeded to accuse whites of being terrorists, and being oppressive. FFS. Lost is the irony that she moved to what was once a white country to be with those "oppressors", by the generous immigration policy of those oppressors that welcomes those that hate them. Then to speak of oppression here when she left a country that typically won't let women scratch their a**es without permission, much less run for office. And her mindset apparently is quite common - even among some brain-dead whites.

But yes - it doesn't take much to be considerate, and it needs to be a two-way street. And so far, only one group is expected to follow the rules. And as whites are disparaged more in all facets of entertainment, the press, and society in general, I wouldn't expect race relations to improve a hell of a whole lot.

the "taking the moral highground" sounds good in theory, but in practice seems to have been proven a poor choice for a defensive position. when your enemy has staked out the "moral low ground" and spent years and millions convincing sheep that the low ground is actually the high ground, bad things will happen. and your, YOUR moral high ground will become a last stand position.

folks are tired of having this load of BS crammed down their throats on a daily, sometimes even hourly, basis. you can only bend over backwards so far, then you reach a breaking point. i think/believe we are closing in on the breaking point. then all of us will have a choice to make, i know what my choice would be.
