Had a black dud on one of my jobs back in the day that was quite adept at using the system faked injury threatened to sue the company they let him skate for 6 months till they got rid of him definitely he was raciest and a scary individual that beeing said we had several other people of color that were great and a pleasure to work with.I personally don’t know anyone who are (hating themselves) for being white I do know many who understand that historically whites have oppressed people of color and strive not to continue that shameful legacy are you saying that’s bad?

It's history. Nobody is doing that now

That too as he will likely claim victory and incite violence again, even civil war.

You can't win as long as he's around. 

Last time I checked he's the least violent president there's been.

How many wars did he fund or countries did he bomb?

Teach Thais how to drive would be a good place to start. 

They know fine well how to drive, they just have horrible attitudes.

Should have just dealt with it like my friend did: go there with a pair of snips and cut the cable.

Although, he did that to a massive boombox stage setup that had been blasting for several days to be heard from a kilometer away.

If insurrectionist grifter Trump manages to take power again (tragically it's possible) then he'll likely pardon this criminal and many others that he obviously incited. Trump 2.0 will make Trump 1.0 look like a garden party (if it happens). 

I have to ask: what exactly is it you're afraid of happening if Trump is elected as president again?

There is no straight pride because straight people don't feel the need for it, as they are not facing any problem in society for being straight.

There is an LGBT pride for two main reasons:

- they celebrate their recent (more or less) equal rights,

- they protest for full equal rights in an untertaining way, because they are still facing problems.

 

The OP is a very good example: no one is threatening Target employees for selling clothes and other items for straight people.

You don't have equal rights already?

What don't they have?

They have happened. 

Their theme is anti gay hate.

In Uganda the straight pride parade was about murdering gays 

Straight people dominate every country.

No need for a straight pride parade.

Well, how about no Christmas, New Year, or Songkran then? Too many people might enjoy it, lol

There isn't one US state where it's legal to fire someone for being straight.

In the majority of US states it's legal to fire someone for being gay.

I doubt it. Got proof?

If Target want to sell T-Shirts with dumb stuff written on them, and there are people dumb enough to buy them, I’m good with it.

Like the rainbow flag and all that stuff? Isn't it just the same kind of thing?

If the same people want to broadcast their stupidity by wearing these T-shirts, I’m good with that too.

 

Though I would suggest they do

 wear them to job interviews, or indeed anywhere they wish to make a positive impressions 

And it's not just that Target is selling it, it's been shoved down everyone's throats for a while now.

Even worse, parents can't even stop the doctors giving their kids life altering treatments if they feel confused about their gender. They could lose their kids. It's nuts.

And no wonder kids might feel confused these days with their teachers completely disorientating them with concepts they aren't old enough to understand.

Because they are.

Straight pride is every day.

White pride is Nazi stuff.

In contrast Kiss me I'm Italian is cute.

Honest people can make distinctions.

That's BS, man.

Everyone should be able to celebrate what they are without automatically being called a racist or whatever.

Straight pride is every day? I've never seen any straight pride celebrations.

I’d have no problem with that at all.

 

If someone wants to buy such a T-shirt and wear it in public I’d have no problem with that either.

 

Now can you explain this double standard you referred to?

You are playing dumb now;  you know exactly what he is talking about.

Whenever any attempt to celebrate straight pride or white pride is made, it's shot down immediately and labeled as homophobic or racist.

Lordy.  Are you suggesting that white nationalists are not racists?  Even they would admit that they're proudly racist.  You're just being deliberately obtuse. 

I am suggesting that it is possible to be a nationalist and not be racist.

In fact, they are not instrinsically related.

Japanese are nationalists. So are Thais, as well as most countries in the world actually.

But if a white person is a nationalist, he is tarred and feathered as a racist.

So much for this white privilege, I am hearing about.

Yeah, that the last two so- called 'white supremacist attacks: have been committed by non-whites, lol.

Why are they so eager to link recent attacks to white supremacy (when we clearly see the perp was brown)?

This white supremacy thing is a witch hunt.

White supremacists remain deadliest US terror threat, Homeland Security report says

By Geneva Sands, CNN

If that were true, then why is there more black-on-white violence than the other way around?

Look at the figures for violent crime and homicide each year. You'll see.

There's a lot wrong with being a white nationalist in a diverse country of immigrants which is the USA.

You are really playing with words here to make it sound racist.

Is it okay for African Americans or Asian Americans to be American nationalists? I am sure it is. Then why not whites?

I really don't understand why all Americans - of every color - can't be nationalists together.

You don't have to create division. It isn't a case of: 'my team vs. your team'  

You all have the same nationality, hence you should be nationalists together. ????

Although some hate their own country and want to see it burn.

I was in New York as a tourist, shortly after 9/11.

I don't recall it being particularly expensive, though maybe things have changed.

Living in NYC isn't as uniformly difficult as it seems when we quote average or median rents, sales prices, restaurant meals, and expenses.  I live in a desirable section of Manhattan in a large apartment for 1/4 of the market price because the rent is regulated (a legacy of welfare socialism days).  I don't own a car because it costs too much to park it and I don't need it anyway.  I enjoy eating out at least daily for breakfast and having restaurant food delivered for dinner from unpretentious eateries with good food.  I can get half price tickets to Broadway plays and concerts.  I have medicare coverage supplemented by the State of New Jersey where I used to work.  My ill wife gets medicaid for a superb full-time care-giver.  Having been only a professor (for 50 years),

I can still afford quarterly visits to my salaried GF here in LOS while keeping my home in NY.

Keep living your best life, man. ????

And ignore the haters.
