Of course. The threads of this subforum are living proof.

I'm not "obsessed" with black people. Unlike some posters on this board, my life is not filled with "what race is that person and why aren't they b*tching about X, Y, Z?"

People are not "questioning" every thing that black people do. You know what I hear more? People questioning every. last. damn. thing. a white person does. If we have a thought that someone doesn't like, we're "racist" or "bigoted". If we do something that someone doesn't like, we are "racist" or "bigoted". If we try to have a conversation with someone and they don't like what we asked, suddenly we're "obsessed with black people".

Give it a rest. I'm getting sick and tired of people getting all worked up over some huge thing that doesn't. even. exist. except in their own minds.
Actually, you are the one with a problem. You are the one claiming that we are asking for people to do things for Blacks. Nothing of the kind was said. "Black oriented" things like HBCUs, BET, etc, we did not ask you to do anything for those things. You are the one making such stupid assumptions. All we are asking is why anyone cares if things like BET and HBCU's exist. You are the one interjecting stupid stuff into it.

If there isn't such an obsession about Blacks, then why are so many threads about "why do Black people......." some other threads complaining about Blacks. The OP and myself are talking about what we see here in CD.

And no one was talking about YOU personally.

None of what we are talking about is "imagined". If that is your response to that, then you have a problem.

What nobody is understanding is your vote don't count its up to the electoral votes giving only to our representatives of each state. Since this election is rigged to let Hillary win were all in for world of hurt just remember the electoral votes dictate our new president not our lowly votes. People like yourself are part of their plan to divide us. Divide and conquer is in effect......

I misconstrued your post? I believe I interpreted it exactly as you intended. This is what you posted that I called stupid:

I can't decipher what you mean when you wrote, "misconstruing it in an attempt to virtue signal at my expense isn't?" but no, I don't have to do that. I would say you're doing this to yourself, all on your own.

I thought I might've overreacted but I guess not. I actually agreed with most of your posts but was not including you in "we" or replying in response or agreement to your points, nor "race-baiting". I'm always speaking for myself, and most other people I know and understand. It seemed to me you were 'attacking' me out of left-field literally and figuratively.

You can pretend not to understand what I said, but I know you're smarter than that, so again, stop with the bull.

Every single time a thread comes up about evil whitey, it's always about what we aren't doing. Here we have a thread that started out with "why do you all care" and turned in to "we aren't getting enough attention with our all black (whatever)". Then it moved on to how we aren't doing enough to complain about Chinatown and Telemundo. It is always about what non blacks SHOULD be doing, according to black people who come on to City Data and gripe about non black people in thread afte thread after thread after thread.

The message is worn out, boring, and frankly, stupid.

Blacks killing blacks is a crime and is treated as such; however, law enforcement killing innocent black people is not considered a crime since they don't face charges or punishment; that's the problem.
