    A white racist town where I was hated and unwanted for being Black. Because that’s what you’re defending when you cry about free speech. That’s what they believe free speech and other human rights like freedom of association means: that they can have their white-only enclaves and chase out anyone who isn’t like them. They couldn’t kick me out because I was a kid, but they broke me in other, far more insidious ways. And they were able to do it because it’s not a free speech issue, it’s a racism issue.

    Also, you don’t have a right to have people around you like you.

    You tell that to your compatriots whose bigotry you are defending.

      I can’t help but feel you are exaggerating. What if people didn’t like you because they don’t like you, rather than race.

      And yes, you have ZERO right to make people around you like you. Don’t live around shitty people. 95%+ of the USA is not racist. I’m sorry you didn’t fit in when you were a kid but don’t try to do away with free speech because your feelings were hurt.

        Tell that to the racists I was forced to grow up around. They were silently raging that I wasn’t white like them my whole life. Perhaps you ought to explain they could never make me white like them, or drive me away for not being such.

        What if people didn’t like you because they don’t like you, rather than race.

        Then all we need to do is look at how you demand compassion for rapists – your white rapists – and we can see your accusation is completely disingenuous.

        I could tell you how the racists around me accused me of the same thing, and how when I would change myself thinking I was the problem, they’d just laugh and find another flaw. Then another, then another. Then find flaws contradictory to what they claimed was the problem, and how it was always obvious to everyone else around me except myself that I was never the problem. They were just concern trolling to hide their racism. Because that’s how racism actually works – the cruelty is the point. 🤷

        I could tell you about the few other dark-skinned kids in that neighborhood who were treated the same way, and of the white kids who’d fight with their parents, start having sex at 10 and start drinking and smoking at 12, who for some reason were never put under a microscope as I was, simply because they were white.

        I could point out that no child is deserving of that kind of emotional abuse – and that’s what scrutinizing the personality of a child is – regardless of race and for you it would still go in one ear and out the other. Because you’re a racist.

        I could tell you all about that, and more, but it won’t matter, because you yourself are a dishonest racist and the fact that you even made that stupid fucking argument is the proof. What could a little kid possibly even do to get an entire community full of adults to shun them? What kind of adults shun any kid for any reason?

        Don’t live around shitty people.

        You’re welcome to explain how a 7 year old is supposed to move anywhere.

        I’m sorry you didn’t fit in when you were a kid but don’t try to do away with free speech because your feelings were hurt.

        No you’re not, quit lying.

        Also I’m not the one getting rid of free speech. You can thank your little Nazi friends for showing everyone why it doesn’t actually work, and then get angry at everybody else you’re not allowed to hate other people for stupid reasons anymore.

        The truth is no one can change your feelings or that of your Nazi friends. This is true. But, as you so blatantly come out and say when you imply I should have left the racist town I grew up in at 7 years old because I have no right to expect to be loved or cared for as an equal, we can just make you leave.

        Since you won’t stop being hateful, you can’t participate in society anymore. If you don’t like LGBTQ+ or Black people or women having power, leave. Get the fuck out. Get out like you’re telling me my 7 year old self should have. Take your racism elsewhere.

          Now I understand where you’re coming from. You freaked out at me because I and a couple other folks didn’t have the brain power to work out your point in another thread on this post. Your freakout was bugging me, so I finally thought to look at your other posts. My only issue is that you jump right to an attack like people are supposed to know your background by either completely reading every single thread on a post so they see your comments, or having read your comment history to inform their understanding of where you’re coming from. I couldn’t tell if you were a white power nutzo or an ally. Jesus Christ on a stick, you were fighting with me and I FUCKING AGREE WITH YOU, just not your ATT%TACK ATTTACK ATCKCKCOAKI

            Sounds like someone’s butthurt they lost an argument, fished through my post history to find a cheap gotcha moment, and decided to exploit my own personal history dealing with racism in order to secure a victory on the internet. You know, the one you couldn’t get before because you couldn’t comprehend that tolerance doesn’t mean what you think it means and isn’t actually a good thing.

            Oh, and if your slimy behavior here doesn’t make it obvious you’re just some dipshit centrist who pretends to be an ally while defending racist Nazis, I don’t know what will.

            You’d have to dig yourself an underground bunker and shoot yourself for another blow that low.

            just not your ATT%TACK ATTTACK ATCKCKCOAKI

            WAAAH THE MEANIE ANTI-RACIST DIDN’T ASK ME NICELY TO STOP BEING A BIGOT! WAAAAAH

            You need to grow up.

            You have a moral responsibility to listen to what another person says to you and not how they say it; at least this is what you say to me every time I openly talk about the rampant emotional and other kinds of abuses I suffered at the hands of Nazi bigots like yourself over the years.

            And next, you’ll blame me for your refusal to check your own comprehension skills, accept facts or to do what you’re supposed to be doing, because of course I, the Black person have to cater to your every whim and whimsy and you have no agency of your own – your refusal to stomach me and do what’s right is 100% my fault because I didn’t beg you. But when I complain, I am the one overreacting and being emotional.

            That’s the kind of shit narcissists pull. And a lot of white boomers are narcissists.

            Your attitude where your feelings matter, but mine don’t will get you nowhere in life. LPT: no one cares about either of us’s feelings, and they really shouldn’t have to in the face of facts.

                    Blatant projection, another attribute of alt-right racist dipshits everywhere

                    Bonus points if in your next post you reply, “Victimhood, another attribute of leftist commies everywhere” when you once again try and fail to come up with a snappy comeback. Go ahead, do it, I’ll wait:
