"Old school"... well, I guess a lot of old schools WERE segregated...

Not just a racist, but a coward who only has enough shame to not say it out loud but not enough to reconsider the whole situation.

    Only in the west can you be a racist and still worry about what others think of you.

    The same (white) people are the ones who tell us not to talk about politics in mixed company because maybe someone may find out you’re a complete monster.

      Yeah, and if you're white they'll be more open to you with how they really feel about immigrants/BIPOC/LGBTQ+ as long as it's in private.

      That's how you get stories of white people getting caught off guard by other white people's racism.

        I have experienced this personally so fucking many times. I am a very masc presenting, very white person. The only thing I lack is that fascist fade cut and combover or I could blend in perfectly fine with the richard spencers of the world. Blonde hair, blue eyes and all.

        The shit people feel comfortable saying to me makes me actually hate white people in general and be generally distrustful around them.

        It doesn't even surprise me anymore I just pretty much assume that unless proven otherwise all crackers deserve the wall.

          It's disturbing. The fact of the matter is that you can't really trust those people. If they find out you are a communist, then they will rat you out to the authorities.

          Those people will never allow white communists to exist, even if they share the same skin tone with you.

      I swear, white people treat literally wanting other races dead like it's junk food.

        It all goes back to sexual proclivities and desire, from the race fetishism to the food comparisons to the "naughty" racism they "indulge" in. It's the same reason diets don't work, it's like they have a racism "cheat day" instead of changing their lifestyle.

      Wandering into Arizona with my eyes closed and my ears corked, climbing into the rear window of a McMansion, unplugging my orifices, ordering a pizza, and shitting straight out of my do-do ass when I discover the delivery guy is tan.

    If this guy is in his 50s, wouldn't that make him part of Gen-X? Born somewhere between 1965 and 1970. He grew up in the 80s. How "Old School" is this dude exactly?

    "I want to retvrn to a time when men had ill fitted suits and big shoulder pads, and the girlies had big hair and worked out in a leotard worn over long leggings in contrasting neon colors! A time when men could wear 3in inseam shorts in the summer, and no one'd think you were gay!"

      Yes exactly. And, a time when you could feel racially progressive while simultaneously upholding economic apartheid. A time when white people were having fun, and felt their privileges were given fairly based on merit. That illusion has been thoroughly shattered unless you cling to increasingly unhinged conspiratorial worldviews

    "Ohhh, I'm in my 50s I don't know any better!" ....I'm sure the majority of BIPOC in their 50s most certainly do.

    What kind of self-infantilization is this? I've worked as a teacher before and kids weaponize their age all the time claiming "I'm just a little kid, I'm curious" when they try to barge into people in the bathroom or stuff like that when I need to immediately yell at them to get their attention. It's just sad seeing grown adults try to use a strategy that LITTLE KIDS use to DARVO a situation.
