OT "We live in a racist country..."

Hcp was hoping I would name a place like Prineville Oregon or some shit, yet I’m from Gresham, a place where there are a lot of Mexicans and white people and some blacks. Well shit what can he pander on to me about now?
He said and I quote, “some blacks”
 
The average 26 year old would probably assume this. What would you think I would think of you growing up in Gresham if you don’t mind me asking? Just curious was all.
Because whenever you have addressed me in the past on topics like this, it’s never been good or productive so why would it change now?
 
You still don't get it. Its HOW you challenge others opinions and then how you react when people respond to your challenge in kind is all.

For example you think i'm making this serious when i'm trying to point out to you how you made it serious from the get go assuming I was being argumentative.

I'm just showing you how you sound like you are serious, but you are not, but others can do that to, but then you take THEM serious. ;)

Its all good. Already moved on. :)

For the record, I said grow up, actually slamming myself as an old fart. You are 26. Not 12. ;)

See how you took me serious but I wasnt?
I wasn’t taking it that serious from the beginning to be honest. I mean I was making obvious jokes, that alone should of let you know

Man you and I couldn’t be more opposite in our way of thinking about society and race and politics is all. I was just trying to get an idea of why. Your age, and where you grew up are huge factors in this and just wanted to know your situation. There is a reason people raised in the city think one way and guys from the country another. ALways fascinates me the maps on the news showing how people vote, based on where they live.
 
You can tell where they have electricity and where they don’t based on who they voted for.
 
Depends on what side of Gresham you’re on

So you're saying you live on the Hassan side of Gresham?

I was basically raised in the country but it doesn’t determine my ways of thinking. It’s not like this is the only place I have been. Been to Portland a lot, been all over Oregon. It’s what I see and have seen. I’m not right or left. I don’t vote. I hate politics. You can’t make assumptions based off where people are from. Stereotypes exist sure but not everybody is the same.
 
You said, "Depends on what side of Gresham you live on". He's saying that you live on the View attachment 18637
Oh good one. But no not really. A lot of nurseries around here which means a lot of Mexicans. Where I play ball and work out you get a mixed bag. Its near Reynolds into town so yeah.

Oh no. Ive never fetl you joking around in here.

Can I please give you sa bit of advise based on personal experience without you taking it as an insult?

I made a major mistake in this forum( not that I really care all that much, cause its just a fricken forum)

But I played a character trying to go to battle with HCP for FAR too long. The whole time I was joking, but he took me serious and I look back and I can see why he did at times. Anyhow, playing the joke far longer than I should has led certain people around here to have a certain view of me that is not at all what I am really like.

I only say this because if you are joking most of the time, like me, its hard to tell, and this same thing might happen to you.

I doubt there is anyone here who knows you are joking when you are. Much like me.

Well that’s a shame and a reason I think most conversations should be in person. Pretty sure I let you know clearly I was joking and not super serious when you said I was young and emotional and I said that was the name of my next pop album. Doesn’t take a genius to figure that one out unless you happen to be socially retarded which is okay because most people are.

Well I thought you were being sarcastic.

But hey, I must be socially retarded.

IF that was a joke, it didnt read like one and my retardedness must be the issue.

Right..
Has nothing to do with you posting aggressively from the outset and then someone is just supposed to know you are joking...
Riiight....

I'm a social retard.
LOL

Well I cant say I didn't try...

Cippy uses black colored fonts when he's joking.

I’m being aggressive? Hmm

In in-person conversations, do you go on about how the white man is being shit on and isn't allowed to have opinions?

Thank god barfo has arrived to twist my words. The master of manipulation. I never said “the white man is being shit on.”
I said it’s weird how other white people shit on white dudes and how it’s cool these days to blame white men for everything. Because apparently we are the ultimate sign of privilege which is also horseshit. Also, the super liberal crowd don’t like when white guys give opinions, they claim this group can’t have opinions because they benefit the most from society. I have seen it all too often. But yes barfo twist my words some more, what an amazing person you are
 
Innitially yes. And I responded in kind. If you weren't, then neither was I. See how that works? ;)
Not really, I’m actually getting real tired of your little emojis you’re posting. Now I’m getting aggressive
 
Man I most definitely make assumptions on where people are from until they prove me otherwise. By the time I was your age I had spent years in the military in Alabama. I was treated like shit from all the white guys from down south because I hung out with the “N******” and listened to “their” music and played ball with them. It most definitely matters where you come from.
It is easily the biggest factor in how you look at others and how to treat them. Like it or not, it’s how it is. Not trying to pick on you, but if you grew up with who I did and where I did, there is no way in the world you would have the opinions about life that you do. Everybody is entitled to them, but they are shaped by your surroundings good or bad.

We are talking about the south though. A place where you can consider is one of the racist places in the country. I mean I get that people wanna slap stereotypes on people based where they are from. We all do it. If people saw where I grew up in the country and knew my background of having a military family who are right wing, you would only assume I was. However I grew up playing sports and sticking with basketball as that one sport I really loved, listen to hip hop my whole life, I mean most of the figures I look up to are black. People like Muhammad Ali and Dave Chappelle, Michael Jordan. For a lot of people where they grow up shapes them into what they are, for me I wouldn’t say that. I think growing up in the country is a blessing. It’s peaceful, neighbors take care of eachother. I never liked the city, I think it’s too hectic. I mean shit even when I go to games it gives me a bit of anxiety sometimes, all the noise and shit. Some people love that though.
