Brother to join the forum

So Trump is a modern Everyman in the US?

Who cares if he posts here or not? Let him, and if he posts stupid shit so be it.

Not even Ben will touch the 5g thing :thinking:

Your choice in cartoonist says everything. We shred garrison cartoons for fun here.

That one is very ripe.

Hi everyone,
I am wirelessgrinder’s brother - he can vouch if needed as he is aware of my username. I expect a lot of nonsense about my username and I’ll preface with my love of the South is not rooted in hate, racism or ignorance. Maybe y’all can get past it if you want to discuss things “in good faith.” Now with that in mind I want to be upfront that my comments are to be taken as is - there is no hidden meaning, etc.

Now – wireless and I have discussed many things and he encouraged me to ask this question.

Is it racist to criticize someone of a different race than you are? Such as - I openly admit I didn’t vote for or support obama. I didn’t care for his handling of many things, I won’t go into that now but felt I should add something to avoid any doubt otherwise.

It’s possible to oppose someone of any colour on politically ideological grounds without being racist (unless you’re opposing policies because they inhibit racism). Is that what you’re claiming with Obama?

Are you satisfied with Trump’s tv ratings throughout this crisis or do you think they could be higher?

Trouble here on my tablet. Yes and in general. It’s been said it was racist of me to say I didn’t like LeBron James because I feel he whines too much. And asked " why did you choose a black guy to say that about? "

Are you happy or super duper happy that we took our country back?

I’m also a Euro and have nfi about Lebron James but as you’re getting so many questions please can you hit the grey Reply button in the post you’re replying to, not the blue Reply button, so people know which post you’re responding to?

Dude, I don’t know if we can handle spitting such hot fire.

I say we ban him before he makes us look more foolish.

Can you elaborate on your love of the South, and why you feel it may be misinterpreted as racism or hate? I assume that by ‘loving the South’ you mean something other than pulled pork and NASCAR, right?

It’s possible to criticize someone of a different race without being race. Context and intent matter, however. It is possible for two people to criticize the same person in superficially similar ways, but for one to be racist and the other not to be.

Not all racism is obvious and in-your-face. Sometimes, it is nuanced and subtle.

How come you make it a point to whine about Lebron but not Tom Brady?

Well, so much for supporting conservative values without saying racist shit. Couldn’t get past the username, a new record.

The heritage you celebrate is based on and steeped in treating one group of people as literal property. Your not thinking it was doesn’t make it so, the entire concept of the “Gentleman Farmer” that the Southern Mystique grew up around was only made possible by buying and selling slaves.

As a born and raised southerner (Georgia), myself. What exactly do you mean by your love of the south and the heritage part of your username?
