Blue_Inigo 11/04/20 10:28:47 AM #1:	He invited me to go over to his coworker's house. I needed a distraction from the election. His coworker had at least 5 blue line flags. My (black) friend saw nothing wrong with those flags and was like "the guy's alright and been good to me. A flag's a flag." I tried ti explain to him how a flag is not just a piece of cloth but a symbol that represents ideas and culture. Blah blah we start talking about politics. I learn that he doesn't give a fuck about politics yet somehow has views that the media is always lying. One President is no worse than another because neither will help us. Blah blah cages were always there. Basically, my friend is willfully ignorant and wants to stay there. It's crazy that those flags dont bug him --- "This is your last dance." <cite>Blue_Inigo posted [p:946709926] in Had an unf...

TheLiarParadox 11/04/20 5:44:57 PM #22:	I've always tried to maintain peaceful contact with as many people as I can but I think we've reached a point where apathy and fence-sitting tell us enough about a person and whether or not we want them in our lives. I can't speak about the black experience on these things but when it comes to issues that are closer to my experiences... I don't have the time or patience to deal with people who are - at best - apathetic. There is enough opposition out there to contend with. Don't need it in my friends or anyone else I can choose to interact with. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. <cite>TheLiarParadox posted [p:946729634] in Had an unf...
