    That sucks ass and it really shouldn't be like that.  Only thing I can say is that as with anything involving prejudice and stereotypes...it's just those lil assholes and they don't rep the whole.    My kid ain't white but he is definitely "white passing" and the fact that his eyes are actually green/silver looking (depends on the way the light hits them) , I know for a fact that he's probably gonna get shit from both sides as he's growing up.  I'm not looking forward to having to have that conversation with him.

    My main gripe about it is that when I call the parents out on it to their face they are such cowards that they act like the kids are doing this all on their own.  I let them know that the least they could do if they are going to raise their kids like that is to own it.  They usually don't say shit after that lol.

    I actually had this conversation with a black friend of mine who also thought the same way.  There's a good chunk of people who feel that because racism is so institutionalized that you can't be racist to white people and I disagree.  Any body can be discriminated against regardless of what their ancesestors have done in the past.  Thinking you can't be racist to white people just because most of their ancestors owned slaves and because racism is institutionalized feels like an excuse to be an asshole to people who are likely not even part of the problem.  I can't truthfully say you can't be racist to white people when I know people gave Em hell as he was getting started in his rap career.  Is that anywhere on the same scale Bonquesha having a harder time getting a job just because of her name?  No it isn't...but it's still being an asshole and still judging a person or giving a person shit based on their skin color.

    To be fair, I have had quite a few issues with other kids treating my kids bad because they are green eyed whites.  So basically my kids are little and already have a strong white identity and tend to be distrustful of certain brown kids.  My daughter doesn't want to associate with those kids and avoids playing with them because of how badly they treat her.  If these kids are going to be shitty to her then why should I insist she play with them? 

     

    I believe these woke-tards are not going to like the future they are creating.

    Looking at Ford Maverick as my “responsible adult” next vehicle and apparently I’m surrounded by scum Ford dealers. 
     

    MSRP of the Mav starts at just under 23k, yet there isn’t a single one within 50 miles of me going for less than $30k. Some of them are all the way up to the low 40’s ffs.

    I had the exact same issue when my wife wanted a Bronco, dealers were asking Lexus prices 😒

    The moon landing one annoys hell out of me. You can look through high powered telescope and see where they landed on the moon. See what was left behind etc. It's one of those things where I'll instantly lose respect for someone over. I get that somethings are convoluted an hard to verify on your own. The moon landing isn't one of them. It's up there with flat earthers idiocy.

    For a time you could even see the flag on the moon with a high powered telescope.  Which is why the conspiracy is ridiculous, the Russians would have totally called us out on that shit if we faked it.

    OK recovered a bit more so time for WOMEN WEDNESDAY! 

     

    Profesional Edition! 

    I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit because if the guys did joke with her you know she'd narc them out to HR immediately.  I've found the practice of treating women like Russian Spies to be the best policy in my professional life.  It takes them a LONG time for them to convince me they are one of the cool ones before I say much of anything to them.

    I guess the Jedi Survivor is the player the buys the game on PC. WTF is up with all the shit PC ports lately. Things have really taken a step back. Of course games are coming out half ass on console too. So it's just a shit situation all around.

    IMO one of the biggest reasons for that is the PC fanbases patching broken games themselves.  This is a double edged sword because it's nice to get shitty ports fixed but it also allows studios to be really lazy and release horribly janky ports and just expect the PC community to fix it.
