You appear to be paranoid, old school. What did your friends say when you asked them about it?

I have to agree with Old School.

I've had close friends of all races for most of my life. The first time that I ever met a non-white person was in high school... I remember my parents were not happy that a non-white went there, but I met her and we quickly became friends. I never saw her as anything other than a friend... she wasn't my black friend, she was just my friend.

I don't deny that racism has existed in the rest of the county, but it was never in me. So when a non-white friend suddenly looks at me like I'm the bad guy, just because I'm white... they're being racist.

But for some reason, society is glamorizing this anti-white racism.

If you still think every farm is run by old Jim Bob and Goody Roberts plowing cornfields up in the holler you're sorely mistaken. Agriculture is overwhelming corporate now. Migrant and undocumented workers are the ones picking your tomatoes and strawberries. I don't even really know who or what you're referring to with them getting "crapped on" unless by crapped on you mean given government subsidies for their produce.

The left can't stand it that they only can eat because of a old white dude . If you were still in the working class you'd understand.

White folk whine sessions are the most pathetic threads of all.

But like I said, Boomers...you be you. The future doesn't belong to you.

The thing I can't get over is the fact that these people of color think that the radical white leftist politicians are on their side. Let them try and socialize or live among the elitist politicians and you see what happens. They think they're treated good because they get free stuff. All the Socialists are doing is buying them off and further enslaving them.

MLK JR. was a socialist. Like an actual socialist.

Basically, what is going on is an attempt at racial division, just one of the attempts to destroy our democracy and the U. S. Constitution. Yes, I am woke too, realizing what is really going on.

Old school. I understand how you feel. Me too. Apparently none of us could help our color but never felt that gave us any privilege. I remember MLK, Jr and he was an awesomely good leader. Now I believe as you do that all this 'woke' stuff and racial division has moved us back a long way before Civil Rights and now have noticed a distrust

Oh and when you have some smart remark back that us old white dudes will not be a factor. Look at what you eat it probably started out at a old white dudes farm. So say thanks .

1G he said he had friends of color and always treated them fair. You spin it that it's his fault that they treat him differently now. SWD you need to get off the couch more an see who is still working in shops and factories around here it's all old dudes. So saying we will not be a factor your a Idot And don't tell me us old dudes don't work I see young people come and go at the factory that I work at yet the old dudes stay an keep it running. I guess you haven't seen all the help wanted signs out that's socialism for ya. Always remember that entitlement check y'all get it's us old white dudes that are still paying in.

So you now understand how racism works?

It's kinda funny watching old white dudes realize maybe treating minorities like second-class citizens would have repercussions.

Stay asleep, dude. Your generation isn't going to be a factor going forward, so I wouldn't worry about it.

So, it really took you a lifetime to understand how your friends and others an entire race may have and continue to feel


If that is the case then believe me, you've never been "woke'!

Still asleep at the wheel, you are!
