Labeling some one racist because they choose to vote for the candidate of their choice is asinine. Doesn't matter the reason any one decides to cast a vote or not cast a vote. Its the right to choose, its that kind of crap that's deepening the divide in this country

I wouldn't say everyone.

I can't think of a single reason to vote for him, though...maybe you're a millionaire and you're tired of paying taxes?

So you are saying anyone who voted for or supported Trump is racist.

It's more you're just scared to death of anyone who doesn't look like you.


I really don't agree. There are plenty of people out there that are racist, that's a given... look at how many people voted for (and still support) Trump.

But I don't think that I have a racist bone in my body, and I still recognize that racial relations in the US right now make it next to impossible for a white person to act responsibly.

I know my next door neighbors, but when you get a little farther away I don't know them. Some are black, some are white, but I haven't seen anyone that's Hispanic or Asian. So if I saw an Hispanic or Asian guy spray painting what looked like graffiti at one of those farther neighbor's houses? 5 years ago I would have confronted him. Today, I'm going to turn around and go home as fast as I can, hoping no one saw me or was recording.

A few years ago, I saw what looked like a homeless man, white, standing outside one of my mom's neighbor's house and taking pictures. I called the cops because I thought he might be scouting out a place to rob later. That wasn't racist or elitist, it was just out of place... "see something say something."

This day and time if they're not attacking me or my family I would call the cops and keep walking. No matter what race they are. Now if they're on my land then the castle law applies. Leave me alone I'll leave you alone.

How racist is that?

There is nothing non-racist to do. Everything and everyone is racist with the exception of ONE race

Lesson learned here.Don't call the police.Call Lebron.Most certainly call Joy Behar.Nothing.I mean nothing satisfies these people anymore.I bet Lebron and Joy would have sung a different tune if it would have been one of their daughters getting ready to get their guts handed too em.D**n people.You were warned.

Chendo's right about that one. Karen's entire demeanor oozed with the faux superiority of someone who just knew that fellow didn't live in that neighborhood.

That smug, patronizing, condescending "karen" absolutely confronted him because he was "of color"

The fact that she couldn't wrap her brain around him being the owner is evidenced by her lies and her attitude

And while, granted, it did turn out to be his own property... how were the people supposed to know that? Especially when they simply asked and he responded with anger and attitude?

it's not right to vandalize someone else's property.

antithesis

I completely disagree, chendo. They saw someone vandalizing property in their neighborhood, and asked him to stop. They said that they agree with #BLM, they just didn't think it was right to vandalize someone else's property.

The Filipino man was very confrontational about it, and seemed guilty as ****. So yes, the woman lied and said she knew the owners of the property... not because of his race, but because he was acting guilty and trying to start a fight.

Did you watch the video?

The point is, they tried to do what they thought was a good deed (kindly asking a man not to vandalize a neighbor's property), and ended up dragged through the coals and losing their jobs for it.

At this point in time, if I ever see a non-white person committing a crime, you can guarantee that I'm going the other direction as fast as my legs will take me! If a black person ever tries to rob me, I'll probably end up taking them to my house and give them the keys... but somehow that would be construed as racist, too, so I guess I'd just be screwed.

STAY OUT OF IT!!!!

that's a bullship example.


the entire dialogue indicates that they confronted him because of his race. they even lied about knowing who the property belonged to
