I worked with a women who was not black, but she was a lesbian. According to her everyone was a homophobe out to get her. Everyone. All the time. Every day. Every perceived slight, anyone who didn't fawn over her, smile at her, look at her, acknowledge her instantly was a homophobe.

She interpreted everything that way. That was her world. It was really, really sad to watch.

Had same experience. God forbid you refer to people without using genderless terms. Also she intentionally screwed things up. A miserable human sharing her wealth

Don't forget... the one white guy called the other white guy the "n-word" .... while participating in a BLM protest.

We've jumped the shark with the epitome of stupid "racism" issues.

I think it is because of media and echo-chambers. What happens in her case is she is on some forum/feed that shows all the bad behavior against people like her and she gets caught up in it and she starts thinking that is normal. Interestingly, I don't think there are many people at all against gay people. Sure you can find some people just like anything, but gays are totally mainstream and very few people care at all. I feel bad for so many that are on these feeds. It is hard to get them to see reality.

Funny enough it was even be a joke

black teenagers or young adults getting pulled over while driving is light years from the 'tremendous discrimination' you claimed. i got pulled over all the friggin time when i was younger.

also, from your article:

Jerry Seinfeld and Rock were pulled over by police while Seinfeld was driving an orange 1969 Lamborghini.


should jay leno scream about 'tremendous discrimination'?

Is that what you are claiming? What city is this? What are the crime stats?
I am claiming that in almost all cities, towns and locations you will face more discrimination if you are a minority. Blacks are a minority in most places. That is a fact.
Nothing about being killed every time you walk out on the street.
But yes, driving down the highway, walking down the street in a white neighborhood, walking into the beauty parlor or nail salon.
I can say I see this where I am now in Florida, where I notice who gets stopped, who gets serviced, who gets "looks".

Explain how Obama was elected, since "almost all cities, towns and locations" are filled with white racists.

Also, explain what the discrimination is. Are you thrown out of restaurants? Arrested when getting a coffee at Starbucks? Refused service at the post office?

Throwing accusations around with sweeping generalizations that the entire US is racist ... is racist.

You haven't provided any examples of it.

What do you call it if black teenagers and young adults are pulled over much more often - isn't that discrimination?
Maybe we have different definitions.
As this is my neighborhood, where there is a high percentage of super rich POC, I can speak from experience.

They are not filled, thankfully.
But there are too many.
Enough to make an issue out of it.
