It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

That's the part that where you are declaring yourself the martyr. Looking at a situation objectively is what I would ask people to do. Others would call it marginalizing racism.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

since we are talking about "I know this could never happen" in Houston less than 2 years ago

Here is my "weigh in". Don't know that spot and particularly don't care. If you are looking for instances where blacks inappropriately holler racism I'm not going to deny it. It happens from time to time.

I will give you an example of a racist incident that happened to me since we are talking about "I know this could never happen" in Houston less than 2 years ago. I was down there for the Bears game and I was refused entry to pool party because they said that I wasn't "properly attired". I touched on this some time ago but it needs to be reiterated for people that provide customary cover for this sort of thing. I had on linen shorts Versace T shirt and sandals (slick) for a damn pool party where most of the people were in swimwear. The first time I attempted to enter they told me it was too early (3:00 P.M) and they only allow people in at that time if they are doing bottles/tables. I knew it was some bullshit but I asked the lady a time that I could return. She said 5:00 P.M. I later returned at 5 and then the guy says that I wasn't properly attired and thus he wouldn't allow me to enter. As I am standing outside of the place (Cle') guys are entering with Jorts, Tank tops, and fucking Air Jordans on.

I asked the guy about how the guys that just walked up were allowed in and he responded that it was the way that they were "wearing" the shit that they had on. I proceeded to editorialize for a bit then I told him to give me my money back as I'd pre paid online. Initially he said that I wasn't going to be allowed in and that I wasn't going to get my money back either. I told him that either I am going in or I'm getting a refund and you can call the police if you want because I'm not going anywhere. At that point I didn't give a shit about gaining entry as it was a matter of principal for me. eventually he let me in and I walked around for less than 2 minutes and left. I didn't want to be there at that point.

That is what racism looks like. This is what blacks have had to deal with for most if not all of our lives. For the most part we cope with it and move on.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

i'm pretty sure it happens all the time in houston.

Maybe the guy was racist. I don't know. But I can tell you any number of stories where I was with a group of friends, and either was told I did not have on the right shoes to the the bar or I was told there was a line and waited there for at least an hour as VIPs like Jorr walked in like with large breasted 19-year-olds.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Not discounting how you were treated at all....but I gotta get my mind wrapped around this...

You rolled down to Houston for a Bears game and found a pool party online and paid online to go hang out at a pool party?

When you say that people were killed because they were "probably criminals" then that is marginalizing racism. You are providing a rationale where one doesn't exist. That isn't looking at anything objectively since you are providing what can be construed as a justifiable reason.

When you say that a person that you don't know is probably a grifter without knowing for sure then you are promoting stereotypes which serve to marginalize racism.


When you consistently minimize egregious acts perpetrated against blacks then you are marginalizing racism. There is nothing objective about that.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

WOW. Cracking the door open on the season.

No I get that and I have been the recipient of the positive side of this. This was different though. If the guy had stated that they were regular patrons of the place I'd have understood a little better.

When he stated that it was the way they were wearing them I knew what time it was. JORTs and a damn tank top? There is no maybe to it. I wasn't really going to complain too loudly (part of the coping) because it wasn't really that serious. They weren't going pimp me out my bread though. It wasn't anything but a bullshit 20 spot but as I said it was the principal. When I walked in there were about 300-400 people and none of them were black. You can infer from it what you like. I know how they tried to play me.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

You are taking things out of context, and not being honest in this discussion.

1. Is about the historical practice of lynching applied to all races.

2. Is if someone of any races is using a phony coupon they are likely a grifter.

3. Saying egregious acts has been minimized is meaningless. It means we can't analyze anything beyond saying this is terrible.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Nearly 3/4th of black people were lynched in a country in which they made up 10-15% of the population but in your opinion because you found whites that were lynched it is incorrect to state that it was perpetrated against blacks. Were the killers of whites involved in lynching ever brought to "justice"? That is the second part to this little narrative. They most surely were. Whites that killed blacks as part of lynching rarely if ever were arrested.

The mere fact that you presume that coupon is phony even after 2 employees were whacked and she actually posted says a lot. A whole lot.

You choose to marginalize by saying that it is terrible.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

THERE IT IS!

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Sounds like that guy was racist, but what I wanted you to know is that being denied entry to a bar crosses all racial backgrounds.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Shocking.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

When the denial is based on race then it is racist. For some reason you have difficulty with ever calling racism for what it is. In that respect you marginalize it. There was no excuse to not allow a paying customer in without justification. I asked for him to call the police and the rat bastard couldn't do it because he knew he did not have grounds.

This isn't simply an example of "all races" being denied entry to a bar. One thing is obvious. There is a knee jerk way in which you always provide rationales for obvious racist behavior. It is instinctive.

IF all races were denied then why was I the only person standing outside? 300-400 people inside and one person outside yet all races have been denied. Ok

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Yep the game was in September of 16. Still hot as hell. When I go on Bears trips I really don't care for the game. Bears ain't shit. I go for the ambiance.

I gotta know, did you go down there with the group organized by my guy Fletch??

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

Hang on. Is this the same Fletch i’m waiting on to send me a roster for the DD next week??

Yup. Small world.

That's funny. Fletch is a good dude. He probably won't say the same about me. I bug the hell out of him.

Why don't you come down here and find out, ya bastard!?
