    Well, a few times I was physically attacked. No other reason than being white in a black neighborhood. Then there are the looks I get from blacks from time to time. They leave no question. Then there's all the kill whitey stuff on the web and the news.

    https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffnt&q=Kill+whitey&ia=web

    It's literally everywhere.

    I've given it some thought after the post from Spim about the broad brush, and I agree with him. The hate is not directed at me personally, most of the time, but more like it's applied with a broad brush and I took it too personal.

    For what it's worth, in my opinion being called a "liberal thug" and a "know-it-all b!tch" for wearing a mask is also hate.

    It's CWV.

    I don't live in Lisbon. I live in Austintown...

    ...and work in Youngstown.

    I didn't answer your question because I didn't like your accusations.

    Yes, it was hateful, but I can walk away from it and not take it personally. I just consider the source of that hate -- ignorance -- and know that nothing I say or do will change it. In the age of information, ignorance is a choice.

    I do understand what you mean. That broad brush of "you're white, therefore you're racist" does get tiring. We shouldn't have to pay for the sins of people long dead.

    Paranoia is strong in this one ...
    Maybe someday an old, white person will be elected to a political office, or be chosen to be a judge, but until
    that day, you'll just have to put up with being one of the downtrodden...

    Try telling that to the 60 year old man in Utah who was gunned down in his OWN car. Whites have been increasingly persecuted over the last several years. There've been scientists literally warning against focusing too much on race, for this reason.

    A lot of progress has been undone by the social justice warriors, who wanted to revive old battles.

    And by people who choose to be willfully ignorant.

    It's much easier to point fingers and accuse.

    It was a reaction to an INDIVIDUAL...not a group.

    Logic is not your friend. Your personal attack on ME was the same.

    "Old white males" are again...the least victimized group on the planet

    How often is calling the cops for "swimming while black" or bird watching while black...or barbecuing while black...or playing golf while black acceptable and how often do cops get called for people doing ANYTHING while white?

    None?

    Never? Interesting and shockingly FALSE.

    I was accused of trespassing yesterday, I was checking out my brothers new seawall.

    "Are you supposed to be here?"

    No big deal, I explained nicely to his new neighbor that I was a relative and happen to be in the area.

    Much less of a scene vs yanking out my phone and raising hell over a simple question. Maybe it's because I'm not trained to assume that every question is motivated by skin color. Weird eh?

    I missed a chance to go viral, get on the news and expose a karen... how silly of me.

    Why did you cut off the rest of what Pred said? He gave an example of virtue signaling: rich whites being for defunding the police, but calling the police if there are riots in their neighborhood.

    Here are some more examples:

    1. Rich whites being for affirmative action, because it does not affect them.
    2. Other whites who are already accepted into universities speaking out for affirmative action, because they already got accepted, but are unwilling to give up their spot for a minority applicant.
    3. Businesses proclaiming to be for Black Lives Matter, because of its sudden popularity and because they don't want their businesses torched by them.
    4. Corporations, such as Amazon, appeasing the woke in various ways, such as through their anti-Trump "journalism" in the Washington Post, but having draconian businesses practices.
    5. The Seattle mayor not protecting businesses from the mob, but having police lining the driveway of her home and calling for an investigation of Kshama Sawant, the Seattle Councilwoman who participated in it.
    And there are more examples. In short, virtue signaling is not "doing the right thing." It's about selfishly being for sloganeering and legislation, as long as it does not require actual sacrifice on the part of the virtue signaler.

    I think you've recycled that same old joke a little too much.

    How about some new material?

    I think its mostly virtue signally. These predominately white liberal cities like Portland or Boulder are 100% in favor of diversity, but then gentrify everything so no minorities can afford or even want to live there.

    Also the reality is that black culture in America is largely not compatible with these white liberal yuppies. A Black guy raised in the ghetto is not going to want to go to yoga classes and eat 9 dollar cups of hemp granola.

    There is no such thing as "virtue signalling".

    It's called "doing the right thing"

    Except its actually just putting up a sign and doing nothing. Especially ironic when you live in a basically all white city. How inviting can it really be to minorities if basically 0 decide to live there? Black people don't want to live in gentrified yuppie-villes.

    "Other people do it" is NOT a legitimate EXCUSE for bigotry and racism.

    We the People INCLUDES all races but it appears as though RACIST white nationalists don't understand that fundamental PRINCIPLE on which our Constitution rests.

    Sad!

    https://www.vox.com/2018/8/10/17670992/study-white-americans-alt-right-racism-white-nationalists

    Per that study 3.3% of Americans are racist white nationalists.

    That you have never personally met one is utterly irrelevant when it comes to the FACT that there are millions of them out there!
