[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how people immediately shifted the racism from the person making the gross comment to the person who called out the gross comment.  MAGA are masters of projection.[/quote]

Because my original comment wasnt about race. It was about ugly people. If you think black people are ugly that's on you, and IS racist, because black people as a category are objectively not ugly. You'd have to be uncomfortable with and judgemental of black people to think that.

Also you don't get to say that black people are ugly and then claim that's what I really meant. Okay? All flavors welcome here. [/quote]

And now you’re putting words in my mouth.  I never, ever, not once, claimed that black people were ugly.  [b]I interpreted YOU as saying that[/b], because my MAGA relatives have said on several occasions they find black people objectively less attractive than white people, and I was concerned that you might be expressing a similar sentiment.  Since DEI includes black people and race was mainly what was being discussed at that point, saying “thank God I no longer have to look at ugly people (thanks to DEI)” implies that the category “ugly” includes black people.  It’s a reasonable interpretation.  That’s why I called it out.

All you had to do was say “no, that’s not what I meant” and explain what you actually meant.  By trying to twist it around and accuse me of racism for questioning what I saw as racism, you’re doing the same thing.  Questioning a thing isn’t the same as doing the thing.

Let’s agree that there are extremely attractive black people and they should be in ads.[/quote]

And THAT is called projection[/quote]

Actually, it’s called “lie down with dogs, get up with fleas”.[/quote]

The only person here calling black people ugly copped to the fact she was patented by racists. Who's got the fleas really?[/quote]

Where did you get “parented” from?  I said MAGA relatives, none of whom I talk to any more BECAUSE OF THEIR RACISM.  These are not close relatives and none of them had anything to do with raising me.

You people really are unbelievable, the way you invent stories and put words in people’s mouths.

Oddly enough, the ——-> DISTANT MAGA RELATIVES I NO LONGER TALK TO BECAUSE THEY ARE RACIST <——-  used to do the same thing. Another reason I distanced myself from them.[/quote]

You said you were raised among racists and that's why when you saw the word ugly, you immediately thought black. It’s really disgusting that you jumped to that.

This should go without saying, given that the biggest maga influencer is a black woman, but maga doesnt equate to racist. You seem to have a problem with putting people into broad and unflattering categories so I dont expect this to sink in.

Again, I didn’t say I was raised among racists.  You have a serious reading comprehension problem.

Still waiting for you all to explain Pete Hegseth’s decision to remove black, women, and Latino service people from the Arlington Cemetary website.[/quote]

Lady, I don't even know what you're talking about so I am not going to explain it.[/quote]

I think it's good that our veterans are being honored for their service, and are no longer being filtered and sorted by race and gender. I don't find this change objectionable. People serve our country and that's great. They are service members, not "black service members".  Not everyone is like you, thinking that people must be categorized and presented by race first. That's a segregationist mindset (like your family's) and I don't condone it. [/quote]
