The weather is good, the fishin be fine.
And this was racist from about when I was born?
I don't think so. Racism was invented in the 70s by the same folks that brought you snowflakes.
Useless people with nothing to do but to stir up hate and anger.

What are YOU labelling today?

You are questioning my ability to hold my job?
You are getting out of control.

When an adult male is chasing a female down an alley with a butcher knife and a hardon, who would you shoot?
Get real. And this was just a simple question and answer test.. That would be not considered PC in this day and age..

That should be the only test of sanity. And most police departments do not require that simple test.

And as to my eyesight..........I can build firetrucks both hands tied behind my back with slippers on.
Am I optimum at that point? No, I am not. And that is why I am considering any options for my eyesight.
I have already had lens implants in both eyes. Little plastic bits taking the place of what God gave me.
And then, laser surgery over the top of that.
Who gives you the right to second judge what I am able to do at my job?

And whilst I deny even my own inner sanity................

I ask you this.................Are you my accuser?
And would you ask me to my face at the risk of being pummeled?
By a man who does not take fools lightly?
I could teach you, but I am a man who takes teaching as a closed fist to the jaw as the first lesson.
If you get up and are still arrogant, a second application of thought might be required.

But, if you get up and ask me what that was about, I might begin to teach you with my mind.
And then.......and only then, you might accept what I know.
If not, then resolve yourself to remain forever in darkness.

I have posted many things for you to ponder over the last few hours.
I am going to bed now with my kitties which are numbered two.

Whilst I am gone off sleeping, I would appreciate it much if a few of you would reconsider what it is that your perception of me is and make some adjustments in your attitude towards me.

Meow.

Racism was invented in the 70s


What can a rational being say to someone like this?
There's no way to cut through the dense layers of racism and stupid that are wrapped around the dormant organ he calls a brain.

The article doesn't say when racism was invented.
It's about American Race and Racism 1970 to Present.

Mark, that's a middle-school teaching aid Google doc placed there for K-12 students. It only discusses issues since the 1970s and doesn't claim that is where they were invented. (I'd wager this is because anything before the 1970s would be considered prehistoric by the intended very young audience...) Etymology Online shows the word in use since 1936 with its current meaning.

Edit: @janneseti <<shaking tiny internet fist>> Darn you and your faster typing. :^)

Edit2: Sorry Bernie hope this doesn't qualify.... avoided any hot-button terms.

Yes, I realize that my simple statement was a bonehead moment. The statement is basically untrue, and I hereby retract it.

Racism has probably existed since the moment somebody noticed that the person next to him had different coloring in his skin.
I am not a racist. I work alongside men of color every day. And those of different origin than the traditional German and Swedish folk that make up 99 percent of the Wisconsin culture.
We are almost all immigrants here. There are very few of the original indian tribes still here, and sadly, we have relegated them to their own little 'reservations'.........now THAT could be considered a racist term.

My grandparents came to this country in the 40s to escape Germany.
And I understand that it is now a different country than what it was at that time.

Holding on to anger is like trying to hold on to a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at somebody.
